biomass verification provisions, akin to 

that applicable to producers using crops 

and crop residue grown in the United 

States. For this authorization, foreign 

based entities may petition EPA for 

approval of the aggregate compliance 

approach for specified renewable fuel 

feedstocks either in a foreign country as 

a whole or in a specified geographical 

area. This petition request for the 

aggregate compliance approach for 

foreign-grown crops and crop residue is 

voluntary, though, if approved by EPA, 

will offer the benefit that certain 

renewable biomass produced in a 

foreign country or geographical area can 

be counted as feedstock to make 

renewable fuel for credit under the 

Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS2) 

program in 40 CFR Part 80. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 15. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 15 

(total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 200 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $22,794 (per 

year), includes no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is no 

increase of hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB. The 

respondent universe and responses also 

remained the same in this collection. 

There was in increase in cost to the 

industry of $8,598 per year due to better 

numbers used to calculate the industry 

burden and to account for inflation.

Conversions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Motor Vehicle Emissions: Revisions to 

Certification of Alternative Fuels 

Conversions’’ (EPA ICR No. 0783.64, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0104) to the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public 

comments on specific aspects of the 

proposed information collection as 

described below. This is a proposed 

extension of the ICR, which is currently 

approved through May 31, 2014. 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. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before February 18, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2009–0299 online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: With this ICR renewal, EPA 

is seeking permission to continue 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements for manufacturers to 

submit information to EPA to ensure 

compliance with the provisions of 

EPA’s Clean Alternative Fuel Vehicle 

and Engine Conversions Final Rule 

which was issued on April 8, 2011 (76 

FR 19830). This includes a variety of 

requirements for alternative fuel 

vehicle/engine converters who seek an 

exemption from the anti-tampering 

prohibition in section 203(a)(3) of the 

Clean Air Act. Under Title II of the 

Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) 

Form Numbers: EPA Form Number 

5800–257 and EPA Form Number 5800– 

258. 

Respondents/affected entities: This 

action will affect companies and 

persons that manufacture, assemble, 

sell, import, or install alternative fuel 

conversions for light-duty vehicles, 

light-duty trucks, medium-duty 

passenger vehicles. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit. 

Estimated number of respondents: 25 

(total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion 

as needed to obtain certification. 

Total estimated burden: 39,193 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,689,777 (per 

year), includes $363,059 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is an 

increase of 20,657 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due primarily to 

the increase in the number of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, § 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

On August 8, 2010 the New York 

State Department of Environmental 

Conservation (NYSDEC) submitted an 

amended application titled ‘‘Air 

Compliance and Emission Electronic 

Reporting System’’ for modification of 

its EPA-authorized Part 70 program 

under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed 

NYSDEC’s request to modify Part 70— 

‘‘State Operating Permit Programs’’ and, 

based on this review, EPA determined 

that the application met the standards 

for approval of authorized program 

modification set out in 40 CFR part 3, 

subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 

3.1000(d), this notice of EPA’s decision 

to approve New York State’s request to 

modify its Part 70—State Operating 

Permit Programs to allow electronic 

reporting under 40 CFR part 70 is being 

published in the Federal Register. 

NYSDEC was notified of EPA’s 

determination to approve its application 

with respect to the authorized program 

listed above.
