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. 

ICR #1: Information Requirements for 

New Marine Compression Ignition 

Engines at or Above 30 Liters per 

Cylinder (Revision to an Existing 

Package),’’ Expiring July 31, 2013. (EPA 

ICR No. 2345.03, OMB Control No. 

2060–0641); Docket ID Number: EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2013–0246 

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking 

a revision to an existing package with a 

three year extension. 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 marine 

compression-ignition engines with a 

specific engine displacement at or above 

30 liters per cylinder, also referred to as 

Category 3 engines. 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 of 

up to eight years. 

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 of Category 3 engines are 

required to test each engine at the sea 

trial of the vessel in which the engine 

is installed or within the first 300 hours 

of operation, whichever comes first. 

This self-audit program allows 

manufacturers to monitor compliance 

and minimize the cost of correcting 

errors through early detection. In 

addition, owners and operators of 

marine vessels with Category 3 engines 

must record certain information and 

send minimal annual notifications to 

EPA to show that engine maintenance 

and adjustments have not caused 

engines to be noncompliant. From time 

to time, EPA may test in-use engines to 

verify compliance with emission 

standards throughout the marine 

engine’s useful life and may ask for 

information about the engine family to 

be tested. 

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. Proprietary 

information is kept confidential in 

accordance with the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA), EPA

regulations at 40 CFR Parts 2 and 

1042.915, and class determinations 

issued by EPA’s Office of General 

Counsel. Non-confidential business 

information may be disclosed as 

requested under FOIA. That information 

may be used by trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

Most of the information is collected in 

electronic format and stored in CD’s 

databases. 

Form Numbers: 5900–90 (Annual 

Production Report template); PLT 

reporting template. EPA is in the 

process of obtaining a form number for 

the PLT reporting template. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents are manufacturers and 

owners or operators of marine 

compression-ignition engines above 30 

liters per cylinder and the vessels in 

which those engines are installed. 

Respondents are within the following 

North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS) codes: 333618 (Other 

Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 

336611 (Manufacturers of Marine 

Vessels); 811310 (Engine Repair and 

Maintenance); 483 (Water 

transportation, freight and passenger). 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit. 

Manufacturers must respond to this 

collection if they wish to sell and/or 

operate their Category 3 engines in the 

U.S., as prescribed by Section 206(a) of 

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

Part 1042. Certification reporting is 

mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42 

U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR Part 1042, 

Subpart C). PLT reporting is mandatory 

(Section 206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR 

Part 1042, Subpart D). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

200 (total, including engine 

manufacturers, owners and operators). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly, 

Annually, On Occasion, depending on 

the program. 

Total estimated burden: 3,012 hours 

per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b) 

Total estimated cost: Estimated total 

annual costs: $200,000 (per year), 

includes an estimated $65,155 

annualized capital or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in Estimates: To date, there 

are no changes in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with 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, burden estimates may 

slightly decrease due to the fact that 

EPA has received fewer applications for 

certification of Category 3 engine 

families than previously estimated. Cost 

estimates may increase due to inflation 

and labor rate changes. 

ICR#2 Engine Emission Defect 

Information Reports and Voluntary 

Emission Recall Reports (Revision to an 

Existing Package),’’ Expiring October 

31, 2013; EPA ICR No. 0282.15, OMB 

Control No. 2060–0048; Docket ID 

Number: EPA–HQ–OAR–2006–0895 

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking 

a revision to an existing package with a 

three year extension. Under the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), 

EPA is required to promulgate 

regulations to control emissions of air 

pollutants from motor vehicles and 

nonroad engines, as defined in the CAA. 

Per Sections 207(d)(1) and 213 of the 

CAA, when a substantial number of 

properly maintained and used engines 

produced by the same manufacturer do 

not conform to emission requirements, 

the manufacturer is required to recall 

the engines. When emission-related 

defects are found on a number of 

engines of the same model year and that 

defect may cause the engine emissions 

to exceed the standards, the engine 

manufacturer is required to submit an 

Emission Defect Information Report 

(EDIR). EDIRs allow EPA to target 

potentially nonconforming classes of 

engines for future testing, to monitor 

compliance with applicable regulations 

and to order a recall, if necessary. 

Engine manufacturers can also initiate a 

recall voluntarily by submitting a 

Voluntary Emission Recall Report 

(VERR). VERRs and VERR updates allow 

EPA to determine whether the 

manufacturer conducting the recall is 

acting in accordance with the CAA and 

to monitor the effectiveness of the recall 

campaign. 

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. Proprietary 

information is kept confidential in 

accordance with the Freedom of 

Information Act (FOIA), EPA 

regulations at 40 CFR Parts 2, and class 

determinations issued by EPA’s Office 

of General Counsel. Non-confidential 

business information may be disclosed 

as requested under FOIA. That 

information may used by trade 

associations, environmental groups, and 

the public. 

Form Numbers: Emissions Defect 

Information Report Form; Voluntary 

Emissions Recall Report Form; and 

Quarterly Recall Report Form. EPA is in 

the process of obtaining form numbers 

for these three forms. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

manufacturers of on-highway heavyduty engines, nonroad engines, fuel 

system components, marine engines, 

recreational vehicles, locomotives and 

locomotive engines. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Per sections 207(c)(1) and 213 of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), engine 

manufacturers must submit EDIRs once 

a certain threshold is met. The threshold 

varies according to the type of engine 

and the part under which it is regulated. 

VERRs are submitted voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 40 

(total). 

Frequency of response: EDIRs and 

VERRs are submitted on occasion, 

whereas VERR updates are submitted 

quarterly by some respondents. 

Total estimated burden: 15,084 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,187,132 (per 

year), includes $9,800 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: To date, there 

is a decrease of 11,479 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. However, EPA is evaluating 

information that may lead to a change 

in this estimate. The expected decrease 

is due to the fact that EPA has received 

far fewer EDIRs and VERRS than 

previously expected.
