Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 52 / Monday, March 19, 2007 / Notices 12799 

holding frequency constant. WTP would 

be estimated in the context of the 

severity of the individual’s asthma and 

the activities taken to manage the 

disease. The results will help to provide 

researchers and policy analysts with 

evidence on the potential benefits of 

actions policies that influence acute 

asthma episodes. 

Through a cooperative agreement 

from EPA (R–83062801–0), researchers 

at the University of Central Florida 

(UCF) have designed and are proposing 

to conduct two surveys of adult 

individuals. One survey would be 

administered to a sample of adults with 

physician-diagnosed asthma who have 

experienced asthma symptoms during 

the 12 months preceding the survey. 

One survey focuses on eliciting adults’

WTP to reduce the asthma episodes that 

they experience. A related survey would 

be administered to a sample of parents 

of children with physician-diagnosed 

asthma who have experienced asthma 

symptoms during the 12 months 

preceding the survey. In this case, the 

focus is on eliciting parents’ WTP to 

reduce the asthma episodes that their 

children experience. 

The purpose of the proposed ICR is to 

gain approval for the conduct of a series 

of focus groups and individual 

interviews as part of the survey 

development process. Focus groups and 

cognitive interviews are a crucial 

component in the survey development 

process as they allow survey developers 

to identify problematic approaches, 

terminology, and graphics in the survey 

instrument. A total of 50 interviews are 

anticipated, including focus group 

responses and individual interviews. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 2 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; 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 only burden imposed by the 

interviews on respondents will be the 

time required to participate in focus 

group discussions and answer interview 

questions. The survey developers 

estimate that this will require an average 

of 2 hours per respondent. With a total 

of 50 respondents this requires a total of 

100 hours. Based on an average hourly 

rate of $27.31, including employer costs 

of all employee benefits, the survey 

developers expect that the average perrespondent cost for the pilot survey will 

be $54.62 and the corresponding onetime total cost to all respondents will be 

$2,731.00 (Employer costs per hour 

worked for employee compensation and 

costs as a percent of total compensation: 

Civilian workers, total compensation, 

December 2006 http://stats.bls.gov/ 

news.release/ecec.t02.htm). Since this 

information collection is voluntary and 

does not involve any special equipment, 

respondents will not incur any capital 

or operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Individuals or Households. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

50. 

Frequency of Response: One-time.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2080.03, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0545. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2007. 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: EPA charges user fees for 

administering its vehicle and engine 

certification programs. In 2004 the fees 

were extended to include certification 

applications for recently regulated 

categories of off-road vehicles and 

engines. Manufacturers and importers of 

covered vehicles and engines are 

required to pay the applicable 

certification fee prior to their 

certification applications being 

reviewed. This involves submitting 

payments along with a filing form 

identifying the engine family to be 

covered by the fee. There are also 

correction and refund forms. This ICR 

estimates the paperwork burden of 

submitting these fees and associated 

forms. This information collection 

covers the entire certification fees 

program, both on-road and off-road. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.3 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 or importers of passenger 

cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy 

duty truck engines, and non-road 

vehicles or engines required to receive 

a certificate of conformity from EPA 

prior to selling or introducing these 

products into commerce in the U.S. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

419. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

694.8. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$46,198, including $11,028 in O&M 

costs and no startup or capital costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 65.8 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to use of 

actual counts, rather than projections, of 

fee forms submitted, and to an increase 

in the estimated time required to 

process reduced fee and refund 

requests.
