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 (peryear), 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, andcategories 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.

Form Numbers: HD/NR Engine
Manufacturer Annual Production Report, 5900–90; AB&T Report for Heavy-duty On-highway Engines, 5900– 134; AB&T Report for Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines, 5900– 125; AB&T Report for Marine Compression-ignition Engines, Number in process; PLT Report for Marine CI CumSum, 5900–297; PLT Report for Marine CI Non-CumSum, 5900–298; TPEM Equipment Manufacturer Notification, 5900–242; TPEM Equipment Manufacturer Report, 5900– 240; TPEM Engine Manufacturer Report, 5900–241; TPEM Bond Worksheet, 5900–239; Marine CI Application for Certification, 5900–124

manufacturers and owners of marine CI engines and on-highway heavy-duty engines; owners of heavy-duty truck
fleets.

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.
