SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Record Keeping and Periodic

Reporting of the Production, Import,

Recycling, Destruction, Transshipment

and Feedstock Use of Ozone-Depleting

Substances, EPA ICR Number 1432.18;

OMB Number 2060–0170; with an

extended expiration date of January 31,

2001. This is a request for extension of

a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The Montreal Protocol on

Substances that Deplete the Ozone

Layer (Protocol) and Title VI of the

Clean Air Act (CAA) establish limits on

total U.S. production, import and export

of class I and class II controlled ozonedepleting substances. To ensure U.S.

compliance with the limits and

restrictions established by the Protocol

and the CAA, the regulation establishes

control measures for individual

companies. The limits and restrictions

for individual U.S. companies are

monitored by EPA through the reporting

requirements established in the

regulation under 40 CFR part 82,

subpart A. The regulation outlines both

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements. These reporting

requirements are designed: (1) To satisfy

U.S. obligations under the international

treaty, the Montreal Protocol on

Substances that Deplete the Ozone

Layer, in particular the requirements

under Article 7 of the Protocol; (2) to

fulfill statutory obligations under

section 603(b) of Title VI of the CAA; (3)

to report to Congress on the production,

use and consumption of class I and class

II controlled substances as statutorily

required in section 603(d) of the CAA;

and (4) to address Federal and industry

concerns regarding illegal imports of

newly produced and previously used

controlled substances that are

undercutting the U.S. markets for

alternatives.

Pursuant to regulations 40 CFR part 2,

subpart B, you are entitled to assert a

business confidentiality claim covering

any part of the submitted business

information as defined in 40 CFR

2.201(c). 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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on

estimated to average 5.35 hours per

response. EPA is concurrently working

on many rules that will revise the

recordkeeping and reporting under the

regulations in 40 CFR part 82, subpart

A in separate rulemakings with

revisions to the ICR. In addition, EPA is

in the process of reflecting these many

revisions in a changed Guidance

Document For The Stratospheric Ozone

Protection Program on reporting

(including reporting forms) and making

them available electronically and

creating a secure system for the direct

submission of electronic reporting.

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,

Title: Spark-Ignition Marine Engine

Application for Emission Certification

and Participation in the Averaging,

Banking, and Trading Program OMB

Control Number 2060–0321, EPA ICR

No. 1722.03, expiring December 31,

2000. This is a request for extension of

a currently approved collection.

Abstract: Under Title II of the Clean

Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA),

EPA is charged with issuing certificates

of conformity for certain spark-ignition

engines used to propel marine vessels

that comply with applicable emission

standards. Such a certificate must be

issued before engines may be legally

introduced into commerce. 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 engine emission test data.

This information is organized by

‘‘engine family’’ groups expected to

have similar emission characteristics.

To comply with the corporate average

emission standard, manufacturers must

use the Averaging, Banking and Trading

Program (AB&T) and must submit

information regarding the calculation,

actual generation and usage of emission

credits in an initial report, end-of-theyear report, and final report. These

reports are used for engine family

certification, that is, to insure preproduction compliance with emissions

requirements, and enforcement

purposes. There are also record-keeping

requirements. Manufacturers must

maintain records for eight years on the

engine families included in the

program.

This information is collected by the

Engine Programs Group (EPG),

Certification and Compliance Division

(CCD), Office of Transportation and Air

Quality, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, to provide assurance of

compliance with certain minimal

requirements for certification. Besides

CCD, this information could be used by

EPA’s Office of Enforcement and

Compliance Assurance (OECA) and the

Department of Justice for enforcement

purposes. Information that is not

confidential business information (CBI)

is also disclosed in a public database

and through EPA’s Internet web site. It

is used by trade associations,

environmental groups, and the public.

The information is usually submitted in

an electronic format, and it is stored in

CCD’s certification database.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on August

31, 2000 (65 FR 53005). No comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and record keeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 152 hours per

response. 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

Notice of Availability of Guidance for

Controlling Nonpoint Source Pollution

From Marinas and Recreational

Boating and Request for Comments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: EPA has developed and is

requesting comments on draft technical

guidance for managing sources of

nonpoint pollution at marinas and

recreational boating facilities. This

guidance is intended to provide

technical assistance to state program

managers and others on the best

available, economically achievable

means of reducing nonpoint pollution of

surface and ground water from marinas

and recreational boating activity. The

guidance provides background

information about nonpoint source

pollution, where it comes from, and

how it enters the nation’s waters;

discusses the broad concepts of

assessing and addressing water quality

problems on a watershed level; and

presents up-to-date technical

information about how to prevent and

reduce nonpoint source pollution from

marinas and recreational boating.

Reviewers should note that the draft

technical guidance is entirely consistent

with the Guidance Specifying

Management Measures for Sources of

Nonpoint Pollution in Coastal Waters,

which EPA published in January 1993

under section 6217(g) of the Coastal

Zone Act Reauthorization Amendments

of 1990 (CZARA). The draft document

does not supplant or replace the

requirements of the 1993 document. It

enhances the technical information

contained in the 1993 coastal guidance

to include inland as well as coastal

context and to provide updated

technical information based on current

understanding and implementation of

best management practices. It does not

set new or additional standards for

either CZARA section 6217 or Clean

Water Act section 319 programs.

EPA will consider comments on this

draft guidance and will then publish

final guidance.

DATES: Written comments must be

postmarked no later than March 5, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be

addressed to Edwin F. Drabkowski,

Assessments and Watershed Protection

Division (4503–F), U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania

Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460;
