the general mandate in Section 612(c) 

that states the Administrator shall 

promulgate rules providing that it shall 

be unlawful to replace any class I or 

class II substance with any substitute 

substance which the Administrator 

determines may present adverse effects 

to human health or the environment, 

where the Administrator has identified 

an alternative to such replacement that 

(1) reduces the overall risk to human 

health and the environment; and (2) is 

currently or potentially available. 

The SNAP program, based on 

information collected from the 

manufacturers, formulators, and/or 

sellers of such substitutes, identifies 

acceptable substitutes. Responses to the 

collection of information are mandatory 

under Section 612 for anyone who sells 

or, in certain cases, uses substitutes for 

an ozone-depleting substance after April 

18, 1994. Steps to protect confidentiality 

of information collected under the 

SNAP program are based on EPA’s 

confidentiality regulations (40 CFR 

2.201 et seq.). Submitters may designate 

all or portions of their forms or petitions 

as confidential, and must substantiate 

their claim of confidentiality. Under 

CAA Section 114(c), emissions 

information may not be claimed as 

confidential. 

To develop the lists of acceptable and 

unacceptable substitutes, EPA must 

assess and compare ‘‘overall risks to 

human health and the environment’’ 

posed by use of substitutes in the 

context of particular applications. EPA 

requires submission of information 

covering a wide range of health and 

environmental factors, including 

intrinsic properties such as physical and 

chemical information, ozone depleting 

potential, global warming potential, 

toxicity, and flammability, and usespecific data such as substitute 

applications, process description, 

environmental release data, exposure 

data during use of a substitute, 

environmental fate and transport, and 

cost information. Any substitute which 

is a new chemical must also be 

submitted to EPA under the New 

Chemicals program under the Toxic 

Substances Control Act (TSCA). 

Alternatives that will be used as 

sterilants must be filed jointly with 

EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and 

with SNAP. 

Form Numbers: 1265–14. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers, importers, formulators, 

and processors of substitutes for ozonedepleting substances. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR 82.176). 

Estimated number of responses: 212 

(per year). 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 6,371 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $488,007 (per 

year), includes $22,800 annualized startup/O&M costs. 

Burden estimate: For persons filing a 

SNAP Information Notice or petition, 

the reporting burden is estimated at 165 

hours per year. For persons filing a 

TSCA/SNAP Addendum, the reporting 

burden is estimated at 36 hours per 

year. For persons filing a notification of 

test marketing activity, the reporting 

burden is estimated at 1 hour per year. 

For persons keeping records of use of a 

substitute subject to use conditions or 

narrowed use limits, the recordkeeping 

burden is estimated at 27 hours per 

year. For persons keeping records of a 

small volume use, the recordkeeping 

burden is estimated at 12 hours per 

year. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease of 312 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. The number of SNAP Information 

Notice submissions each year is 

expected to increase during the next 3 

years. Many SNAP submissions are for 

chemicals or blends of alternatives 

previously found acceptable, so while 

the number of submissions is expected 

to increase, the burden of developing 

supporting information for most 

submissions is expected to decrease 

because it is easier to find and review 

information for substitutes previously 

reviewed. The SNAP submission forms 

have been revised to improve usability 

and ease burden on submitters by 

clarifying the information necessary for 

review based on the specific sector(s) 

and end-use(s) being pursued, and by 

eliminating redundancy. Also, the 

Agency encourages the submission of 

electronic files, reducing burden on 

respondents and the Agency for 

processing. EPA estimates a 20% 

reduction in the number of respondents 

responsible for recordkeeping for 

substitutes acceptable subject to use 

conditions and narrowed use limits 

because the increased availability of 

alternatives decreases the need for 

industry to use alternatives previously 

listed as acceptable subject to narrowed 

use limits.

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.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory if engine manufactures wish 

to sell their products in the U.S. (42 

U.S.C. 7521). Participation in ABT is 

voluntary, but participants must submit 

required information. Participation in 

TPEM is voluntary, but participants 

must submit required notifications and 

annual reports (40 CFR 1039.625 and 

1039.626). If applicable to a particular 

engine family, compliance programs 

reporting is mandatory. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,528 (total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, On Occasion, depending on 

the type of response. 

Total estimated burden: 201,033 

hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $33,457,421 (per 

year), includes $17,371,995 annualized 

capital or maintenance and operational 

costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase of 64,720 hours in the total 

estimated burden from the burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens for 

the previous renewal.
