SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA has 

submitted the following ICR to OMB for 

review and approval according to the 

procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12. 

On June 18, 2004 (69 FR 34158), EPA 

sought comments on this ICR pursuant 

to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received only 

one comment. The commenter 

suggested that EPA establish zeroemission requirements for nonroad 

engines. 

EPA has established a public docket 

for this ICR under Docket ID number 

OAR–2004–0059, which is available for 

public viewing at the Air and Radiation 

Docket and Information Center, in the 

EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA 

West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution 

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The 

EPA Docket Center Public Reading 

Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 

p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding 

legal holidays. The telephone number 

for the Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the Air 

and Radiation Docket and Information 

Center is (202) 566–1742. An electronic 

version of the public docket is available 

through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at 

http://www.epa.gov/edocket. Use 

EDOCKET to submit or view public 

comments, access the index listing of 

the contents of the public docket, and to 

access those documents in the public 

docket that are available electronically. 

Once in the system, select ‘‘search,’’

then key in the docket ID number 

identified above. 

Any comments related to this ICR 

should be submitted to EPA and OMB 

within 30 days of this notice. EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives 

them and without change, unless the 

comment contains copyrighted material, 

confidential business information (CBI), 

or other information whose public 

disclosure is restricted by statute. When 

EPA identifies a comment containing 

copyrighted material, EPA will provide 

a reference to that material in the 

version of the comment that is placed in 

EDOCKET. The entire printed comment, 

including the copyrighted material, will 

be available in the public docket. 

Although identified as an item in the 

official docket, information claimed as 

CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise 

restricted by statute, is not included in 

the official public docket, and will not 

be available for public viewing in 

EDOCKET. For further information 

about the electronic docket, see EPA’s 

Federal Register notice describing the 

electronic docket at 67 FR 38102 (May 

31, 2002), or go to http://www.epa.gov/

Title: Emissions Certification and 

Compliance Requirements for Nonroad 

Compression-ignition Engines and Onhighway Heavy Duty Engines (Renewal). 

Abstract: This information collection 

is requested under the authority of Title 

II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 

et seq.). Under this Title, EPA is charged 

with issuing certificates of conformity 

for those engines which 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, manufacturers are required 

to submit descriptions of their planned 

production line, including detailed 

descriptions of the emission control 

system, and test data. This information 

is organized by ‘‘engine family’’ groups 

expected to have similar emission 

characteristics. There are also 

recordkeeping and labeling 

requirements. Manufacturers electing to 

participate in the Averaging, Banking, 

and Trading (AB&T) Program are also 

required to submit information 

regarding the calculation of projected 

and actual generation and usage of 

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

reports are used for certification and 

enforcement purposes. Manufacturers 

need to maintain records for eight years 

on the engine families participating in 

the program. Portions of former ICR 

0011.08 (‘‘Selective Enforcement 

Auditing and Recordkeeping 

Requirements for On-Highway HeavyDuty Engines, Nonroad Large 

Compression Ignition Engines, and OnHighway Light-Duty Vehicles and LightDuty Trucks,’’ OMB Control Number 

2060–0064, expired on 8/31/1999) are 

being incorporated into ICR 1684.06. No 

collection of information from ICR 

0011.08 has been conducted since its 

expiration; upon approval of ICR 

1684.06, the agency shall resume this 

information collection. Portions of 

former ICR 1897.05 [’Information 

Requirements for Nonroad Diesel 

Engines (Nonroad Large SI Engines and 

Marine Diesel Engines),’’ OMB Control 

Number 2060–0460, expiring on 10/31/

2004] related to certification and 

compliance requirements for marine 

compression-ignition engines are also 

being incorporated into ICR 1684.06. 

This action is undertaken to consolidate 

information requirements for the same 

industry into one ICR, for simplification 

and to avoid duplicity. With this 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 28, 2004 / Notices 57911

consolidation, we combine the burden 

associated with the certification, AB&T, 

Production-line Testing (PLT) and 

Selective Enforcement Audits (SEA) 

programs for non-road compressionignition engines and on-highway heavyduty engines. 

The information is collected for 

compliance purposes by the Engine 

Programs Group, Certification and 

Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality, Office 

of Air and Radiation. Confidentiality of 

proprietary information is granted in 

accordance with the Freedom of 

Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 

CFR 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 2,112 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 nonroad compressionignition engines and on-highway heavyduty engines. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

68. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

quarterly and on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

143,604. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost:

$13,978,203, which includes $0 annual 

capital/startup costs, $5,484,884 O&M 

costs, and $8,493,319 annual labor 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 54,557 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to: (1) 

Changes in the estimated number of 

hours that respondents spend carrying 

out each task and (2) the consolidation 

of portions of ICRs 0011.08 and 1897.05 

into this ICR, as explained above.
