Title: Transition Program for 

Equipment Manufacturers (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1826.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0369. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2011. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

are displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: When EPA establishes new 

regulations with tighter engine emission 

standards, engine manufacturers often 

need to change the design of their 

engines to achieve the required 

emissions reductions. Consequently, 

original equipment manufacturers 

(OEMs) may also need to redesign their 

products to accommodate these engine 

design changes. Sometimes, OEMs have 

trouble making the necessary 

adjustments by the effective date of the 

regulations. In an effort to provide 

OEMs with some flexibility in 

complying with the regulations, EPA 

created the Transition Program for 

Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM). 

Under this program, OEMs are allowed 

to delay compliance with the new 

standards for up to seven years as long 

as they comply with certain limitations. 

Participation in the program is 

voluntary. Participating OEMs and 

engine manufacturers who provide the 

noncompliant engines are required to 

keep records and submit reports of their 

activities under the program. 

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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 51 hours per 

response. 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

28772 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 96 / Wednesday, May 18, 2011 / Notices 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

Entities potentially affected by these 

actions are manufacturers of 

compression-ignition engines and 

equipment. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

405. 

Frequency of Response: Annually and 

on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

40,090. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$4,086,455, includes $1,061,650 O&M 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 31,543 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. Total burden has increased 

significantly due to a sharp increase in 

the estimated number of participants. 

Tighter Tier 4 standards have resulted 

in engine manufacturers not being able 

to provide their customers with 

compliant engines in time for the 

effective date of the new regulations. 

This has meant that equipment 

manufacturers who did not previously 

participate in TPEM now need the 

program to reach the gap between the 

effective date of the regulations and the 

date when compliant engines are ready. 

A significant number of participants 

will also be added when the small Si 

program starts in 2011. EPA expects at 

least 150 new participants from that 

industry alone.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

This notice applies to individuals and 

businesses who are seeking certification 

to apply restricted use pesticides (RUPs) 

as defined by EPA in Indian country 

where no EPA-approved plan or EPAimplemented plan applies. This action 

may, however, be of interest to those 

involved in agriculture and anyone 

involved with the distribution and 

application of pesticides for agricultural 

purposes. Others involved with 

pesticides in a non-agricultural setting 

may also be affected. Since other 

entities may also be interested, the 

Agency has not attempted to describe all 

the specific entities that may be affected 

by this action. If you have any questions
