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 

technical person listed under FOR

Pursuant to section 3506(c) (2) (A) of 

the Paperwork Reduction Act, EPA 

specifically solicits 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. 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 should I consider when I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used. 

3. Provide copies of any technical 

information and/or data you used that 

support your views. 

4. If you estimate potential burden or 

costs, explain how you arrived at the 

estimate that you provide. 

5. Offer alternative ways to improve 

the collection activity. 

6. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the deadline identified 

under DATES. 

7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, 

be sure to identify the docket ID number 

assigned to this action in the subject 

line on the first page of your response. 

You may also provide the name, date, 

and Federal Register citation. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are un-registered 

renewable fuel producers. 

Title: Production Outlook Reports for 

Unregistered Renewable Fuel Producers. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2409.01. 

ICR status: This is a proposal for a 

new ICR. 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: With this information 

collection request (ICR) renewal, we are 

seeking permission to accept production 

outlook reports from domestic and 

foreign renewable fuel producers who 

are not currently regulated parties under 

the RFS2 program. The respondents for 

this ICR are not required to register or 

report under the RFS2 regulations. 

Submission of production outlook 

information to EPA under this ICR will 

be voluntary. 

We believe that many parties would 

wish to submit this information in order 

to receive better assistance in 

understanding and preparing to comply 

with the RFS2 regulations. A typical 

respondent would be a renewable fuel 

producer who is in the process of 

developing plans for, or constructing, a 

renewable fuel production facility or 

that is currently opting out of the RFS2 

program under 40 CFR 80.1426(c)(3). 

Such a respondent would not be 

required to register or report under 

RFS2 because it is not yet producing 

renewable fuel subject to the regulation. 

However, the respondent would likely 

wish to provide the information in order 

to receive feedback from EPA and to aid 

its planning for future compliance with 

the RFS2 regulations and annual 

compliance standards. 

Respondents that voluntarily provide 

the information requested through this 

ICR will benefit from doing so. The 

information that respondents provide 

will allow EPA to more accurately 

project cellulosic biofuel volumes for 

the following calendar year, and these 

volume projections will form the basis 

of the percentage standards EPA sets 

under the RFS2 program. Without 

information from these respondents, 

EPA’s volume projections are more 

likely to fall below actual projection 

volumes. Under such circumstances, 

supply for cellulosic biofuel will exceed 

demand, and the value of cellulosic 

biofuel Renewable Identification 

Numbers (RINs) will fall. RINs are 

marketable credits that correspond to a 

given volume of renewable fuel. Since 

RIN market price directly affects the 

economic viability of cellulosic biofuel 

production, low RIN prices could 

present economic difficulties to 

producers. Thus, it is in the interests of 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 198 / Thursday, October 14, 2010 / Notices 63175 

these respondents to provide this 

information to EPA, as doing so could 

ensure that the market price of RINs 

appropriately reflects the value of their 

cellulosic biofuel. This information also 

serves a more general program purpose, 

because it will assist EPA in setting the 

annual RFS2 standard more accurately. 

We estimate that approximately 35 

parties would choose to participate in 

this voluntary information collection. 

The format for submitting the 

production outlook information to EPA 

would follow the ‘‘RFS2 Production 

Outlook Form, Report Form ID: 

RFS0900.’’ Collection of reports from 

regulated parties is covered under the 

RFS2 ICR, OMB Control No. 2060–0640 

(Expiration Date July 31, 2013). A copy 

of the RFS0900 form may be viewed at 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ 

rfs0900.pdf (instructions to form) and 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/regs/fuels/ 

rfs0900.xls (form). 

We are requesting that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) 

approve this ICR and that it be effective 

three years after approval. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 4 hours per 

respondent and 4 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by a 

person to generate, maintain, retain, or 

disclose or provide information to (or 

for) a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information; to process and maintain 

information; to disclose and provide 

information; to adjust the existing ways 

to comply with any previously 

applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; to train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

to search data sources; to complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and to transmit or otherwise disclose 

the information. We anticipate 35 

respondents, submitting one response 

each. 

The draft supporting statement, which 

has been placed in the public docket, 

contains detailed estimates for this 

proposed ICR. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

This is a proposed, new, voluntary 

information collection. All the estimates 

provided above, and in the supporting 

statement (which has been placed in the 

public docket) are for a new and 

voluntary collection of information. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 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
