Title: Emission Certification and 

Compliance Requirements for Marine 

Spark-ignition Engines (Renewal). 

Abstract: Under Title II of the Clean 

Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; the Act), 

EPA is charged with issuing certificates 

of conformity for certain spark-ignition 

engines used to propel marine vessels 

that comply with applicable emission 

standards. Such a certificate must be 

issued before engines may be legally 

introduced into commerce. To apply for 

a certificate of conformity, marine 

spark-ignition engine manufacturers are 

required to submit descriptions of their 

planned production line, including 

detailed descriptions of the emission 

control system and engine emission test 

data. This information is organized by 

‘‘engine family’’ groups expected to 

have similar emission characteristics. 

To comply with the corporate average 

emission standard, manufacturers must 

use the Averaging, Banking and Trading 

Program (AB&T) and must submit 

information regarding the calculation, 

actual generation and usage of emission 

credits in an initial report, end-of-theyear report, and final report. These 

reports are used for engine family 

certification; that is, to insure preproduction compliance with emissions 

requirements, and for enforcement 

purposes. Manufacturers must maintain 

records for eight years on the engine 

families included in the program. In this 

notice, former ICRs 1725.03 (‘‘Marine 

Engine Manufacturers Assembly-Line 

Testing Reporting & Recordkeeping 

Requirements, ‘‘OMB Control Number 

2060–0323, expiring on 9/30/2004) and 

1726.03 (‘‘Marine Engine Manufacturer 

Based In-Use Emission Testing 

Program,’’ OMB Number 2060–0322, 

expiring on 10/31/2004) are being 

incorporated into ICR 1722.04 . This 

action is undertaken to consolidate 

information requirements for the same 

industry into one ICR, for 

simplification. With this consolidation, 

we combine the burden associated with 

the certification, AB&T, Production-line 

Testing (PLT) and In-use Testing 

programs for marine spark-ignition 

engines. Under the PLT Program, 

manufacturers are required to test a 

sample of engines as they leave the 

assembly line. This self-audit program 

allows manufacturers to monitor 

compliance with statistical certainty 

and minimize the cost of correcting 

errors through early detection. Under 

the In-use Testing Program, 

manufacturers are required to test 

engines after a number of hours of use 

to verify that they comply with emission 

standards throughout their useful lives. 

There are recordkeeping requirements 

in all programs. 

The information requested by this 

information collection is used to enforce 

different provisions of the Act and 

maintain the integrity of the overall 

emissions reduction program. Data 

generated through the PLT, In-use 

Testing and AB&T programs may be 

used to evaluate future applications for 

certification, to identify potential issues, 

and as basis to suspend or revoke the 

certificate of conformity of those 

engines that fail. There are 

recordkeeping requirements in all 

programs. 

The information is collected by the 

Engine Programs Group, Certification 

and Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office 

of Air and Radiation. Confidentiality of 

proprietary information submitted by 

manufacturers is granted in accordance 

with the Freedom of Information Act, 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, and 

class determinations issued by EPA’s 

Office of General Counsel. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor, and a person is not required to 

respond to, a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4,029 hours per 

respondent. Burden means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information to or for a Federal agency. 

This includes the time needed to review 

instructions; develop, acquire, install, 

and utilize technology and systems for 

the purposes of collecting, validating, 

and verifying information, processing 

and maintaining information, and 

disclosing and providing information; 

adjust the existing ways to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements; train personnel to be 

able to respond to a collection of 

information; search data sources; 

complete and review the collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Manufacturers of marine spark-ignition 

engines. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

10. 

Frequency of Response: Annually and 

quarterly. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

40,293. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$2,240,875 includes $200,966 O&M 

costs, $0 annualized capital costs, and 

$2,039,909 labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 1,619 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to the fact 

that we are consolidating three ICRs 

(1722.03, 1725.03, and 1726.03) into 

1722.04, as explained above. The 

increase in burden is, therefore, due to 

an adjustment to the estimates.

Notice of Public Information 

Collection(s) Being Reviewed by the 

Federal Communications Commission 

September 22, 2004.

SUMMARY: The Federal Communications 

Commission, as part of its continuing 

effort to reduce paperwork burden 

invites the general public and other 

Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on the 

following information collection(s), as 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, Public Law 104–13. An

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid control 

number. No person shall be subject to 

any penalty for failing to comply with 

a collection of information subject to the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that 

does not display a valid control number. 

Comments are requested concerning (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Commission, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility; 

(b) the accuracy of the Commission’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control No.: 3060–0971. 

Title: Numbering Resource 

Optimization, Second Report and Order, 

Order on Reconsideration in CC Docket 

No. 96–98 and CC Docket No. 99–200, 

and Second Further Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking in CC Docket No. 99–200. 

Form No: N/A. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents: Business or other forprofit. 

Number of Respondents: 2,050 

respondents; 50,500 responses. 

Estimated Time Per Response: .25–3 

hours. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion 

and semi-annual reporting requirements 

and third party disclosure requirement. 

Total Annual Burden: 14,000 hours. 

Total Annual Cost: N/A. 

Privacy Act Impact Assessment: N/A. 

Needs and Uses: The Second Report 

and Order imposed two information 

collection requirements on carriers. 

First, a request for ‘‘For Cause’’ auditing 

requests, the North American Number 

Plan Administrator (NANPA), the 

Pooling Administrator or a state 

commission must state, in writing, the 

reason for the request (such as 

misleading or inaccurate data) and 

provide supporting documentation. 

Audits will be performed by the 

Commission’s Enforcement Bureau or 

by other designated agents. State 

commissions may participate in these 

audits along with the commission’s 

auditors or its designated agents. 

Secondly, State commissions requesting 

copies of carriers’ applications for initial 

and growth numbering resources should 

obtain such copies directly from the 

carriers, rather than from the NANPA or 

the Pooling Administrator. This 

approach avoids a costly burden on 

national numbering administration 

while placing only a minimal burden on 

carriers. The Commission is seeking an 

extension (no change in requirements) 

for this information collection. We are 

requesting continued OMB approval for 

this collection and thus, the full threeyear clearance from the OMB.

Federal Communications Commission.
