Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 223 / Monday, November 19, 2012 / Notices 69451 

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: Title II of the Clean Air Act, 

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

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(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. Under this 

ICR, EPA collects information necessary 

to (1) issue certificates of compliance 

with emission statements, and (2) verify 

compliance with various programs and 

regulatory provisions pertaining to 

locomotives, locomotive engines, and 

locomotive remanufacturing kits 

(collectively referred to here as 

‘‘engines’’ for simplicity). 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. This information is 

organized by ‘‘engine family’’ groups 

expected to have similar emission 

characteristics. There are recordkeeping 

requirements. Those manufacturers 

electing to participate in the Averaging, 

Banking and Trading (AB&T) Program 

are also required to submit information 

regarding the calculation, actual 

generation and usage of credits in an 

initial report, end-of-the-year report and 

final report. These reports are used for 

certification and enforcement purposes. 

Manufacturers must maintain records 

for eight years on the engine families 

included in the AB&T Program. 

The Act 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. 

Under the Production Line Testing 

Program (‘‘PLT Program’’), 

manufacturers are required to test a 

sample of engines as they leave the 

assembly line. This self-audit program 

allows manufacturers to monitor 

compliance with statistical certainty 

and minimize the cost of correcting 

errors through early detection. A similar 

audit program exists for the installation 

of locomotive remanufacturing kits. Inuse testing allows manufacturers and 

EPA to verify compliance with emission 

standards throughout the locomotive’s 

useful life. Through Selected 

Enforcement Audits, (SEAs), EPA 

verifies that test data submitted by 

engine manufacturers is reliable and 

testing is performed according to EPA 

regulations. 

The information requested is 

collected by the Diesel Engine 

Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance 

Division (CD), Office of Transportation 

and Air Quality, Office of Air and 

Radiation, EPA. Besides DECC and CD, 

this information could be used by the 

Office of Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance and the Department of Justice 

for enforcement purposes. Nonconfidential business information 

submitted by respondents to this 

information collection may be disclosed 

over the Internet. That information is 

used by trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

Under this ICR, most of the information 

is collected in electronic format and 

stored in CD’s databases. 

Form Numbers: 5900–125 (ABT 

template); 5900–135 (PLT/Installation 

Audit template), 5900–90 (Annual 

Production Report template) 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents are manufacturers of 

nonroad equipment and engines within 

the following North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) codes: 

333618 (Other Engine Equipment 

Manufacturing), 336510 (Railroad 

Rolling Stock manufacturing), and 

482111 (Line-haul Railroads). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Manufacturers must respond to this 

collection if they wish to sell their 

locomotives, locomotive engines and 

locomotive remanufacturing kits in the 

US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of 

the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR 

Part 1033. Certification reporting is 

mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42 

U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR Part 1033, 

Subpart C). PLT/Installation Audit 

reporting is mandatory (Section 

206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR Part 1033, 

Subpart D). Participation in ABT is 

voluntary, but once a manufacturer has 

elected to participate, it must submit the 

required information (40 CFR Part 1033, 

Subpart H). In-Use reporting is 

mandatory (40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart 

F). 

Estimated number of respondents: 10 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, On Occasion, depending on 

the program. 

Total estimated burden: 21,129 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: Estimated total 

annual costs: $2,349,724 (per year), 

includes an estimated $1,365,299 

annualized capital or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in Estimates: To date, there 

are no changes in the number of hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

However, EPA is evaluating information 

that may lead to a change in the 

estimates. After EPA has evaluated this 

information, estimates may rise due to 

an increase in the number of 

respondents.
