### 69451 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 223 / Monday, November 19, 2012 / Notices

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: 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 locomotives, locomotive engines, and locomotive remanufacturing kits (collectively referred to here as ‘‘engines’’ for simplicity). 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. Those manufacturers electing to participate in the Averaging, Banking and Trading (AB&T) Program are also required to submit information regarding the calculation, actual generation and usage of credits in an initial report, end-of-the-year report and final report. These reports are used for certification and enforcement purposes. Manufacturers must maintain records for eight years on the engine families included in the AB&T Program.

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 are required to test a sample of engines as they leave the assembly line. This self-audit program
allows manufacturers to monitor compliance with statistical certainty and minimize the cost of correcting errors through early detection. A similar audit program exists for the installationof locomotive remanufacturing kits. Inuse testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with emission standards throughout the locomotive’s useful life. Through Selected Enforcement Audits, (SEAs), EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations.

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 Justicefor enforcement purposes. Nonconfidential business information submitted by respondents to this information collection may be disclosed
over the Internet. That information is used by trade associations, environmental groups, and the public. Under this ICR, most of the information
is collected in electronic format and
stored in CD’s databases.

Form Numbers: 5900–125 (ABT template); 5900–135 (PLT/Installation Audit template), 5900–90 (Annual Production Report template)

Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are manufacturers of nonroad equipment and engines within the following North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes: 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), 336510 (Railroad Rolling Stock manufacturing), and 482111 (Line-haul Railroads).

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Manufacturers must respond to this collection if they wish to sell their locomotives, locomotive engines and locomotive remanufacturing kits in the US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR Part 1033. Certification reporting is mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart C). PLT/Installation Audit reporting is mandatory (Section 206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart D). Participation in ABT is voluntary, but once a manufacturer has elected to participate, it must submit the required information (40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart H). In-Use reporting is mandatory (40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart F).

Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).

Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion, depending on the program.

Total estimated burden: 21,129 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)

Total estimated cost: Estimated total annual costs: $2,349,724 (per year), includes an estimated $1,365,299 annualized capital or maintenance and operational costs.

Changes in Estimates: To date, there are no changes in the number of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in 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, estimates may rise due to
an increase in the number of respondents.

Dated: November 8, 2012.
Byron J. Bunker, Acting Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of
Air and Radiation.

number.

**DATES :**  Comments must be submitted on or before January 18, 2013.

**ADDRESSES :**  Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– OECA–20009–0494, online using www. regulations.gov (our preferred method), by email to docket.oeca@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460.

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

Abstract: The EPA tips and complaints web form is intended to provide an easy and convenient means by which members of the public can supply information to EPA regarding suspected violations of environmental law. The decision to provide a tip or complaint is entirely voluntary and use of the webform when supplying a tip or complaint is also entirely voluntary. Tippers need not supply contact information or other personal identifiers. Those who do supply such information, however, should know that this information may be shared by EPA with appropriate administrative, law enforcement, and judicial entities engaged in investigating or adjudicating the tip or complaint.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are expected to be members of the general public as well as employees of any company subject to federal environmental regulation. There is no specific industry or group of industries about which EPA expects tips or complaints.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 630 per month (total).

Frequency of response: generally, a one-time response.

Total estimated burden: 3,780 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $75,146 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in estimates: There is expected to be an increase in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase would reflect an increase in the number of tips and complaints being filed, not an increase
in the time or burden associated with filing each tip or complaint. Growing awareness of the ease with which tips and complaints can be filed using the tips and complaints webform is expected to result in, perhaps, a 20% increase in usage.
