Abstract: EPA collects information 

regarding heavy-duty on-highway 

engines and vehicles, nonroad 

compression-ignition engines, and 

categories 1 and 2 marine compressionignition engines (collectively referred to 

as ‘‘engines’’). Title II of the Clean Air 

Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), 

charges EPA 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. The 

information collected is necessary to (1) 

issue certificates of compliance with 

emissions standards and requirements; 

and (2) verify compliance with various 

programs and regulatory provisions. To 

apply for a certificate of conformity, 

manufacturers are required to submit 

descriptions of their planned 

production engines, including detailed 

descriptions of emission control systems 

and test data. 

The emission values achieved during 

certification testing may also be used in 

the Averaging, Banking, and Trading 

(ABT) Program, which allows engine 

manufacturers to bank credits for engine 

families that emit below the standard 

and use the credits to certify engine 

families that emit above the standard 

and trade banked credits with other 

manufacturers. Participation in the ABT 

program is voluntary. 

The CAA also mandates EPA to verify 

that manufacturers have successfully 

translated their certified prototypes into 

mass produced engines; and that these 

engines comply with emission 

standards throughout their useful lives. 

EPA verifies this through ‘Compliance 

Programs’ which include Production 

Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and 

Selected Enforcement Audits (SEAs). 

PLT, which only applies to marine 

engines, is a self-audit program that 

allows engine manufacturers to monitor 

their products’ emissions profile with 

statistical certainty and minimize the 

cost of correcting errors through early 

detection. In-use testing allows 

manufacturers and EPA to verify 

compliance with emission standards 

throughout an engine family’s useful 

life. Through SEAs, EPA verifies that 

test data submitted by engine 

manufacturers is reliable and testing is 

performed according to EPA regulations. 

The Transition Program for 

Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM) ICR 

(2060–0369) was incorporated into this 

ICR, to consolidate compliance 

information requirements for nonroad 

compression ignition engines and 

equipment under a single ICR. Under 

TPEM, nonroad equipment 

manufacturers are allowed to delay 

compliance with Tier 4 standards for up 

to seven years if they comply with 

certain limitations, easing the impact of 

new emission standards on equipment 

manufacturers. This is achieved by 

allowing additional time for equipment 

manufacturers to redesign their 

products in response to changes in 

engine designs. Participation in the 

program is voluntary requires to keep 

records and submit annual reports. 

Manufacturers may assert a claim of 

confidentiality over information 

provided to EPA, which is granted in 

accordance with the FOIA and EPA 

regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.

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,

Abstract: The purpose of this 

information collection request is to 

assist the EPA in selecting federal 

advisory committee members who will 

be appointed as Special Government 

Employees (SGEs), mostly to the 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 the 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. 

Form Numbers: EPA Form 3110–48. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Individuals. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required in order to serve as a SGE on 

an EPA federal advisory committee (5 

CFR 2634.903). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

250 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 250 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $22,000 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 50 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This change is due to a decrease 

in the estimated number of respondents 

from 300 to 250.
