Title: Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Form 3110.48 for Special 

Government Employees (SGE) Serving 

on Federal Advisory Committees at the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2260.04, 

OMB Control No. 2090–0029. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on 5/31/2011. 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: The purpose of this 

information collection is to assist the 

United States Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or the Agency) in selecting 

Federal advisory committee members 

who will be appointed as Special 

Government Employees (SGEs), mostly 

to EPA’s scientific and technical 

committees. To select SGE members as 

efficiently and cost effectively as 

possible, the Agency needs to evaluate 

potential conflicts of interest before a 

candidate is hired as an SGE and 

appointed as a member to a committee 

by EPA’s Administrator or Deputy 

Administrator. Agency officials 

developed the ‘‘Confidential Financial 

Disclosure Form for Special 

Government Employees serving on 

Federal Advisory Committees at the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,’’ 

also referred to as Form 3110–48, for 

greater inclusion of information to 

discover any potential conflicts of 

interest as recommended by the 

Government Accountability Office. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average one hour 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are approximately 300 candidates

• Estimated Total Annual Hour 

Burden: 257. 

• Estimated Total Annual Cost:

Changes in the Estimates: The burden 

estimates have been changed to reflect 

an increase of respondent costs to 

complete the form to cover the next 

three years. There is no increase of 

hours in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB.

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
