II. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

Prior to this lawsuit being filed, EPA 

received a petition in February 2000 to 

add a plastic additive called diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP) to the Emergency 

Planning and Community Right-toKnow Act (EPCRA) section 313 toxic 

chemical list (i.e., the Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI)). EPA issued a proposed 

regulation to list DINP on the TRI on 

September 5, 2000. EPA published a 

Notice of Data Availability (NODA) with 

a revised hazard assessment for DINP in 

the Federal Register on June 14, 2005 

(70 FR 34437) and invited public 

comment on the revised assessment. 

Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on 

September 22, 2021, alleging that EPA’s 

failure to conclude the rulemaking it 

initiated in 2000 constitutes an 

unreasonable delay under Section 

706(1) of the Administrative Procedure 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 706(1). 

This proposed consent decree states 

that no later than January 31, 2023, EPA 

shall either sign a final rule that lists 

DINP on the TRI or sign a notice for 

publication in the Federal Register to 

withdraw the proposed rulemaking to 

list DINP on the TRI. The proposed 

consent decree further states that if the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) determines that a rule to list 

DINP warrants review under Executive 

Order 12866 at the supplemental 

proposal and/or final rule stage, the 

deadline shall be extended by 90 days 

for each stage of review that OMB 

initiates, for a total extension of 180 

days if OMB initiates review at both the 

supplemental proposal and the final 

rule stages. Court approval of this 

proposed consent decree would resolve 

all claims in this case except for any 

claim for the costs of litigation, 

including attorneys’ fees. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who are 

not named as parties to the litigation in 

question. EPA or the Department of 

Justice may withdraw or withhold 

consent to the proposed consent decree 

if the comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the APA or EPCRA. 

Unless EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent should be 

withdrawn, the terms of the proposed 

consent decree will be affirmed. 

III. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

Submit your comments, identified by 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OGC–2022– 

0343 via https://www.regulations.gov. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from this docket. 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit to 

EPA’s docket at https://

www.regulations.gov any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e., 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI or 

multimedia submissions, and general 

guidance on making effective 

comments, please visit https://

www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epadockets. For additional information 

about submitting information identified 

as CBI, please contact the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document. Note 

that written comments containing CBI 

and submitted by mail may be delayed 

and deliveries or couriers will be 

received by scheduled appointment 

only. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment. This ensures 

that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the https://

www.regulations.gov website to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. The electronic public docket 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, email address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments.

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: As required by the Clean Air 

Act, EPA has regulations establishing 

emission standards and other 

requirements for various classes of 

vehicles, engines, and evaporative 

emission components. These regulations 

require a manufacturer to demonstrate 

compliance prior to EPA granting it a 

‘‘Certificate of Conformity’’. EPA 

charges fees for administering this 

certification program. In 2004 and 

subsequently in 2008 the fees program 

was expanded to include nonroad 

categories of vehicles and engines, such 

as several categories of marine engines, 

locomotives, non-road recreational 

vehicles, many nonroad compressionignition and spark-ignition engines and 

evaporative emission components. 

Manufacturers and importers of covered 

vehicles, engines and components are 

required to pay the applicable 

certification fees prior to their 

certification applications being 

reviewed by the Agency. Under section 

208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 

7542(c)) all information, other than 

trade secret processes or methods, must 

be publicly available. Information about 

fee payments is treated as confidential 

information prior to certification. 

Form Numbers: 3520–29. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers or importers of passenger 

cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavyduty truck engines, nonroad vehicles or 

engines, and evaporative emission 

components are required to receive a 

certificate of conformity from EPA prior 

to selling or introducing these products 

into commerce in the U.S. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40 

CFR part 1027). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

579 (total). 

Frequency of response: An average of 

approximately nine responses per 

respondent per year. 

Total estimated burden: 1,022 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $77,444 (per 

year), includes $12,364 annualized 

capital or operation and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is a slight 

increase of three hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This slight increase is due to the 

variability in the number of certificates 

and, therefore, the number of fees paid 

from year to year. The estimate of the 

costs associated with the fees program 

have increased from $67,445 to $77,444 

due to wage estimate increases.
