Title: EPA Worker Protection 

Standards for Hazardous Waste 

Operations and Emergency Response 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1426.10, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0105. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on 08/31/12. 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: Section 126(f) of the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) 

requires EPA to set worker protection 

standards for State and local employees 

engaged in hazardous waste operations 

and emergency response in the 27 States 

that do not have Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration approved 

State plans. The EPA coverage, required 

to be identical to the Occupational 

Safety and Health Administration 

(OSHA) standards, extends to three 

categories of employees: Those engaged 

in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous 

waste sites, including corrective actions 

at Treatment, Storage and Disposal 

(TSD) facilities regulated under the 

Resource Conservation and recovery Act 

(RCRA); employees working at routine 

hazardous waste operations at RCRA 

TSD facilities, and employees involved 

in emergency response operations 

without regard to location. This ICR 

renews existing mandatory record 

keeping collection of ongoing activities 

including monitoring of any potential 

employee exposure at uncontrolled 

hazardous waste sites, maintaining 

records of employee training, refresher 

training, medical exams and reviewing 

emergency response plans. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection is estimated to average 

10.69 hours per response. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain, 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: State 

and local employees engaged in 

hazardous waste operations and 

emergency response in the 27 States that 

do not have OSHA approved State 

plans. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

23,900. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Average Number of 

Responses for Each Respondent: 1. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

255,477 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$3,525,588, includes $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 56,203 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This is due to an adjustment 

accounting for improved computer 

programs for recordkeeping.

Title: Certification and Compliance 

Requirements for Nonroad SparkIgnition Engines (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1695.10, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0338. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2012. 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: 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 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, 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. The emission values 

achieved during certification testing 

may also be used in the Averaging, 

Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. 

The program allows manufacturers to 

bank credits for engine families that 

emit below the standard and use the 

credits for families that emit above the 

standard. They may also trade banked 

credits with other manufacturers. 

Participation in the ABT program is 

voluntary. Different categories of sparkignition engines may also be required to 

comply with production-line testing and 

in-use testing. There are also 

recordkeeping and labeling 

requirements. For this renewal, former 

ICR 1722.06 (‘‘Emission Certification 

and Compliance Requirements for 

Spark-Ignition Marine Engine, OMB 

Control Number 2060–0321) and former 

ICR 2251.03 (Control of Emissions from 

Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines and 

Equipment, OMB Control Number 

2060–0603) were incorporated into ICR 

1695.10. This action was undertaken to 

consolidate certification and 

compliance information requirements 

for spark-ignition engines into one ICR 

for simplification. With this 

consolidation, we combine the entire 

certification and compliance burden 

associated with the spark-ignition 

engine industry. This information is 

collected electronically by the Gas 

Engine Compliance Center (GECC), 

Compliance Division, Office of 

Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), 

Office of Air and Radiation of the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. 

GECC uses this information to ensure 

that manufacturers are in compliance 

with applicable regulations and the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). It may also be 

used by EPA’s Office of Enforcement 

and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and 

the Department of Justice for 

enforcement purposes. NonConfidential Business Information (CBI) 

may be disclosed on OTAQ’s Web site 

or upon request under the Freedom of 

Information Act to trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 83 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Manufacturers of nonroad spark-ignition 

engines and marine spark-ignition 

engines. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

354. 

Frequency of Response: Annual or on 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

265,475 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$27,238,590, which includes $9,604,355 

annualized capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 98,711 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. There is a decrease in burden 

from the previous ICR. This reduction is 

due primarily to the following reasons: 

(1) The fact that most applications for 

certification are now carry-overs, which 

require minimal time to prepare; and (2) 

the use of a web-based system where 

manufacturers can submit their 

responses, including applications for 

certification and reports under the other 

compliance programs included in this 

ICR.
