motor vehicle dealers, motor vehicle air 

conditioning service stations, general 

automotive repair shops, and 

automotive repair shops not elsewhere 

classified. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1617.07, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0247. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2012. 

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: Section 609 of the Clean Air 

Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides 

general guidelines for motor vehicle air 

conditioning (MVAC) refrigerant 

handling and MVAC servicing. It states 

that ‘‘no person repairing or servicing 

motor vehicles for consideration may 

perform any service on a motor vehicle 

air conditioner involving the refrigerant 

for such air conditioner without 

properly using approved refrigerant 

recovery and/or recovery and recycling 

equipment (hereafter referred to as 

‘‘refrigerant handling equipment’’) and 

no such person may perform such 

service unless such person has been 

properly trained and certified.’’ 

In 1992, EPA developed the initial 

regulations under section 609 that were 

published in 57 FR 31242, and codified 

at 40 CFR Subpart B (§ 82.30 et seq.). 

The information required to be collected 

under the Section 609 regulations is 

currently approved for use through May 

31, 2012. This statement is submitted to 

justify an extension of the approval of 

use of this information. Pursuant to new 

requirements under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act, a notice was published 

in the Federal Register on June 9, 2008 

(73 FR 32570), announcing the intent to 

extend the renewal of this Information 

Collection Request and requesting 

comment on the renewal. Descriptions 

of the recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements mandated by section 609 

and delineated in 40 CFR 82 subpart B 

are summarized below in this section. 

Approved Refrigerant Handling 

Equipment: In accordance with Section 

609(b)(2)(A), 40 CFR 82.36 requires that 

refrigerant handling equipment be 

certified by EPA or independent 

standards testing organization. 

Certification standards are particular to 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
26546 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Notices 

the type of equipment and the 

refrigerant to be recovered, and must be 

consistent with the Society of 

Automotive Engineers (SAE) standards 

for MVAC equipment. 

Approved independent standards 

testing organizations: Section 

609(b)(2)(A) of the Act requires 

independent laboratory testing of 

refrigerant handling equipment to be 

certified by EPA. The Stratospheric 

Protection Division (SPD) requires 

independent laboratories to submit an 

application that documents: The 

organization’s capacity to accurately test 

equipment compliance with applicable 

standards consistent with the SAE 

standards for handling refrigerant, an 

absence of conflict of interest or 

financial benefit based on test outcomes, 

and an agreement to allow EPA access 

to verify application information. Once 

an independent laboratory has been 

approved by EPA, the application is 

kept on file in the SPD. Two 

laboratories—Underwriters Laboratories 

Inc. and ETL Testing Laboratories—are 

currently approved to test refrigerant 

handling equipment. EPA does not 

anticipate that any organizations will 

apply to EPA in the future to become 

approved independent standards testing 

organizations. Therefore, annual hours 

and costs related to information 

submitted by these organizations have 

been eliminated. 

Technician training and certification: 

According to Section 609(b)(4) of the 

Act, automotive technicians are 

required to be trained and certified in 

the proper use of approved refrigerant 

handling equipment. Programs that 

perform technician training and 

certification activities must apply to the 

SPD for approval by submitting 

verification that its program meets EPA 

standards. The information requested is 

used by the SPD to guarantee a degree 

of uniformity in the testing programs for 

motor vehicle service technicians. 

Due to rapid developments in 

technology, the Agency requires that 

each approved technician certification 

program conducts periodic reviews and 

updates of test material, submitting a 

written summary of the review and 

program changes to EPA every two 

years. After the test has been approved 

by EPA, a hard copy remains on file 

with SPD. Currently, 19 testing 

programs are approved by EPA to train 

technicians in the proper use of 

refrigerant handling equipment. Five of 

these programs are designed specifically 

for individual company’s own 

employees. 

Certification, reporting and 

recordkeeping: To facilitate enforcement 

under Section 609, EPA developed 

several recordkeeping requirements 

codified at 40 CFR 82.42(b). All required 

records must be retained on-site for a 

minimum of three years, unless 

otherwise indicated. 

According to Section 609(c) of the Act 

states that by January 1, 1992, no person 

may service any motor vehicle air 

conditioner without being properly 

trained and certified, nor without using 

properly approved refrigerant handling 

equipment. The regulation at 40 CFR 

82.42(a) states that by January 1, 1993, 

each service provider must have 

submitted to EPA on a one-time basis a 

statement signed by the owner of the 

equipment or another responsible 

officer that provides the name of the 

equipment purchaser, the address of the 

service establishment where the 

equipment will be located, the 

manufacturer name, equipment model 

number, date of manufacture, and 

equipment serial number. The statement 

must also indicate that the equipment 

will be properly used in servicing motor 

vehicle air conditioners and that each 

individual authorized by the purchaser 

to perform service is property trained 

and certified. The information is used 

by EPA to verify compliance with 

Section 609 of the Act. 

Any person who owns approved 

refrigerant handling equipment must 

maintain records of the name and 

address of any facility to which 

refrigerant is sent. Additionally, any 

person who owns approved refrigerant 

handling equipment must retain records 

for a minimum of three years 

demonstrating that all persons 

authorized to operate the equipment are 

certified technicians. 

Finally, any person who sells or 

distributes a class I or class II refrigerant 

that is in a container of less than 20 

pounds must verify that the purchaser is 

a properly trained and certified 

technician, unless the purchase of small 

containers is for resale only. In that 

case, the seller must obtain a written 

statement from the purchaser that the 

containers are for resale only, and must 

indicate the purchaser’s name and 

business address. When a certified 

technician purchases small containers 

of refrigerant for servicing motor 

vehicles, the seller must have a 

reasonable basis for believing the 

accuracy of the information presented 

by the purchaser. In all cases, the seller 

must display a sign where sales occur 

that states the certification requirements 

for purchasers. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.13 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 

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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 52,721. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

4,522.5 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$35,313.59. 

This includes an estimated burden 

cost of $35,313.59 and an estimated cost 

of $0 for capital investment or 

maintenance and operational costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

There is a decrease of 2,114 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. There are 

two reasons for this decrease in burden 

hours. In 2008, it was estimated that 

there would be 1,370 purchases of small 

containers of class I and class II 

refrigerant for resale only by uncertified 

purchasers. It is estimated that at the 

time (in 2008), there were an estimated 

3 million R–12 MVACs on the road. 

Today, it is estimated that there are only 

600 thousand R–12 MVACs on the road, 

or roughly 2.4 million or 80% less than 

there were in 2008. Therefore, to 

account for the decreased market for 

small containers of CFC–12 refrigerant, 

this ICR estimates that the number of 

purchases for resale only by uncertified 

purchasers of small cans will be 80% 

less than in 2008, or approximately 274 

purchases. 

The second reason the burden hours 

have decreased is that CFC–12 

refrigerant sent off-site for reclamation 

to an approved refrigerant reclaimed by 

owners of refrigerant recycling 

equipment certified under 40 CFR 

82.36(a) has decreased and is 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 87 / Friday, May 4, 2012 / Notices 26547 

anticipated to continue decreasing due 

to the significant decline of CFC–12 

vehicles on road. The third reason the 

burden hours have decreased is that 

there are less approved technician 

certification programs in business than 

in the previous ICR. However, EPA 

anticipates a slow increase of one 

organization approval per year as new 

alternative refrigerants become available 

and new businesses become interested 

in certifying technicians for MVAC 

servicing for consideration. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the
