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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

What information collection activities 

or ICRs does this apply to? 

Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2007–0904 

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are manufacturers 

of nonroad compression ignition and 

spark ignition engines and equipment. 

Title: Transition Program for 

Equipment Manufacturers. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1826.06, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0369. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. 

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 emission 

reductions required by the new 

standards. 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 the 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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 80.5 hours per 

equipment manufacturer and 74.5 hours 

per engine manufacturer. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

• Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 213. 

• Frequency of response: Annual. 

• Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

• Estimated total annual burden 

hours: 17,069. 

• Estimated total annual costs: 

$848,582. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $5,829 for operation and 

maintenance costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

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 still 

evaluating information that may lead to 

a change in the estimates. 

Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2007–1182 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by these actions are 

manufacturers of nonroad compression 

ignition engines and on-highway heavyduty engines; and owners of heavy-duty 

truck fleets. 

Title: Emissions Certification and 

Compliance Requirements for Nonroad 

Compression-ignition Engines and Onhighway Heavy Duty Engines. 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1684.16, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0287. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 

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 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 198 / Thursday, October 14, 2010 / Notices 63173 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: This information collection 

is requested under the authority of Title 

II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 

et seq.). Under Title II, EPA is charged 

with issuing certificates of conformity 

for those engines which comply with 

applicable emission standards. Such a 

certificate must be issued before engines 

may be legally introduced into 

commerce. Certification requirements 

for nonroad compression-ignition 

engines and on-highway heavy duty 

engines are set forth at 40 CFR Parts 86, 

89, 94, 1039, and 1065. To apply for a 

certificate of conformity, manufacturers 

are required to submit descriptions of 

their planned production line, including 

detailed descriptions of the emission 

control system and test data. This 

information is organized by ‘‘engine 

family’’ groups expected to have similar 

emission characteristics. Manufacturers 

must also comply with requirements 

related to audits and other compliance 

assurance programs. There are also 

recordkeeping and labeling 

requirements. Manufacturers electing to 

participate in the Averaging, Banking 

and Trading (ABT) Program are also 

required to submit information 

regarding the calculation of projected 

and actual generation and usage of 

credits in an initial report, end-of-year 

report and final report. These reports are 

used for certification and enforcement 

purposes. Manufacturers need to 

maintain records for eight years on the 

engine families participating in the 

program. 

This ICR is being revised to include 

EPA’s Heavy-duty Engine In-use Testing 

Program. This program is currently part 

of another existing approved ICR. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden is 

estimated to average 2,113 hours. 

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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

• Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 122. 

• Frequency of response: Annual and 

quarterly and on occasion. 

• Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 17. 

• Estimated total annual burden 

hours: 143,694. 

• Estimated total annual costs: 

$13,985,374. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $5,484,884 for operation 

and maintenance costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

Yes. EPA is revising this ICR to 

include EPA’s Heavy-duty Engine In-use 

Testing Program which is currently part 

of ICR 0222.09, OMB Number 20060– 

0086. EPA is still evaluating information 

that may lead to further changes in the 

estimates. 

What is the next step in the process for 

these ICRs? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICRs as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the
