Abstract: Natural Gas STAR is a voluntary program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that encourages oil and natural gas companies to adopt cost effective technologies and practice that improve operational efficiency and reduce methane emissions. Methane is the primary component of natural gas and a potent greenhouse gas. The Program works with oil and natural gas companies in the production, gathering & processing, transmission, and distribution sectors to remove barriers that inhibit the implementation of technologies and practices that reduce methane emissions. The Program effectively promotes the adoption of emission reduction technologies and practices by helping Natural Gas Star partners evaluate Best Management Practices (BMPs) and Partner Reported Opportunities (PROs) in the context of their current operations, and implement them where cost effective. Implementation of the Program’s BMPs and PROs saves participant money, improves operational efficiency, and enhances the protection of the environment.

Form Numbers: 5900–105, 5900–96, 5900–98, 5900–101, 5900–108, 5900– 103, 5900–109, 5900–97, 5900–100, 5900–106, 5900–104, 5900–95, 5900–99, 5900–102, and 5900–107. Respondents/affected entities: The gathering and processing, production, transmission, and distribution sectors of the natural gas industry and the oil production sector.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 124 (total).

Frequency of response: Annual, semiannual.

Total estimated burden: 6,995 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $390,185 (per year), there are no capital/start-up costs or O&M costs associated with this information collection.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,794 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to information provided by partners consulted that the last estimate did not reflect the full average time burden of participation.

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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. 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.

Abstract: Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides general guidelines for the recovery and recycling of motor vehicle air conditioners. It states that ‘‘no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for consideration may perform any service on a motor vehicle air conditioner involving the refrigerant for such air conditioner without properly using approved refrigerant recovery and/or recovery and recycling equipment (hereafter referred to as ‘‘refrigerant handling equipment’’) and no such person may perform such service unless such person has been properly trained and certified.’’ In 1992, EPA developed regulations under section 609 that were published in 57 FR 31240, and codified at 40 CFR Subpart B (Section 82.30 et
seq. ). The information required to be collected under the Section 609 regulations is: Approved refrigerant handling equipment; approved independent standards testing organizations; technician training and certification; and certification, reporting and recordkeeping.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: The following is a list of NAICS codes for organizations potentially affected by the information requirements covered under this ICR. It is meant to include any establishment that may service or maintain motor vehicle air conditioners.
4411 Automobile Dealers 4413 Automotive Parts, Accessories, and Tire Stores 44711 Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores 45299 All Other General Merchandise Stores 811198 All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance Other affected groups include: —Independent Standards Testing

Organizations —Organizations with Technician

Certification Programs Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 82.36, 82.38, 82.40, 82.42).

Estimated number of respondents: 52,616 per year.

Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 4,523 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $208,307.40 per year, includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates: The Agency anticipates that the total estimated respondent burden will stay substantially the same, or decrease compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The Agency anticipates a decrease in the respondent burden for new equipment certifications due to adjustments in the calculation to estimate the burden resulting from required submissions. The Agency also anticipates the respondent burden for updates to certification programs to increase slightly, while the number of new technician certification programs compiling documents for submission to EPA for verification of the program is expected to stay the same.
