Title: Non-road Compression-ignition

Engine and On-road Heavy Duty Engine

Application for Emission Certification,

and Participation in the Averaging,

Banking, and Trading Program, EPA ICR

Number 1851.01, Previous OMB Control

Number 2060–0104, expiration date:

08–31–98.

Abstract: Under Title II of the Clean

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

the Act), EPA is charged with issuing

certificates of conformity for those

engines which 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 test data. This information

is organized by ‘‘engine family’’ groups

expected to have similar emission

characteristics. There are also

recordkeeping and labeling

requirements.

Those manufacturers electing to

participate in the Averaging, Banking,

and Trading Program for Non-road CI

engines at or below 37 kilowatts and for

On-road heavy duty engines are also

required to submit information

regarding the calculation of projected

and actual generation and usage of

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

reports are used for certification and

enforcement purposes. Manufacturers

will also maintain records for eight

years on the engine families included in

the program.

Title: Exclusion Determination for

New-Nonroad Spark-ignited Engines At

and Below 19 Kilowatts and

Compression-ignited Engines at or

Above 37 Kilowatts, New Marine

Engines, and On-road Heavy Duty

Engines, EPA ICR Number 1852.01,

Previous OMB Control Number 2060–

0124, expiration date: 07–31–98.

Abstract: Some types of engines are

excluded from compliance with current

regulations. A manufacturer may make

an exclusion determination by itself;

however, manufacturers and importers

may routinely request EPA to make such

determination to ensure that their

determination does not differ from

EPA’s. Only needed information such as

engine type, horsepower rating,

intended usage, etc., is requested to

make an exclusion determination.

Title: Reporting and Record Keeping

Requirements for Non-road Sparkignition Engine Selective Enforcement

Auditing, EPA ICR Number 1674.01,

OMB Control Number 2060–0295,

expiration date: 01–01–98.

Abstract: As part of the Non-road SI

Selective Enforcement Auditing (SEA)

Program, authorized by section 213 (d)

of the CAA, manufacturers are required

to submit periodic reports and

information from Selective Enforcement

Audits. This information is evaluated to

determine if production non-road

engines comply with the Act.

All the information requested by these

collections is required for various

programs implementation and activities,

and is collected by the Engine

Compliance Programs Group, Engine

Programs and Compliance Division,

Office of Mobile Sources, Office of Air

and Radiation. Information submitted

by manufacturers is held as confidential

until the specific engine to which it

pertains is available for purchase.

Confidentiality to proprietary

information is granted in accordance

with the Freedom of Information Act,

EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2, and

class determinations issued by EPA’s

Office of General Counsel. 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 EPA would like to solicit

comments to:
20626 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 80 / Monday, April 27, 1998 / Notices

(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.

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request; NSPS for

Sewage Treatment Plant Incineration

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this document announces

that the following Information

Collection Request (ICR) has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval: NSPS Subpart O, Sewage

Treatment Plant Incineration, OMB

control Number 2060–0035, expires

June 30, 1998. The ICR describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected cost and burden; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 27, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

a copy of the ICR, call Sandy Farmer at

EPA, by phone at (202) 260–2740, by EMail at Farmer.Sandy@epamail.epa.gov

or download off the Internet at http://

EPA ICR No.1063.07

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart O: Sewage

Treatment Plant Incineration, OMB

Control Number 2060–0035, ICR

1063.07, expiring June 30, 1998. This is

a request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains record

keeping and reporting requirements that

are mandatory for compliance with 40

CFR Part 60.150, et seq., Subpart O,

New Source Performance Standards

(NSPS) for sewage sludge treatment

plant incinerators. This information

notifies EPA when a source becomes

subject to the regulations, informs the

Agency if a source is in compliance

when it begins operation, and informs

the Agency if the source remained in

compliance during any period of

operation. In the Administrator’s

judgment, particulate matter emissions

from sewage treatment plant

incinerators cause or contribute to air

pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Therefore, NSPS were

promulgated for this source category.

The control of emissions of

particulate matter from sewage

treatment plant incinerators requires not

only the installation of properly

designed equipment, but also the

operation and maintenance of that

equipment. Particulate matter emissions

from sewage treatment plant

incinerators are the result of the

physical and chemical characteristics of

the sludge feed and fuel use, the excess

air rate, the temperature profile within

the incinerator, the pressure drop across

the control device, and operating

procedures. These standards rely on the

reduction of particulate matter

emissions by wet scrubbers.

In order to ensure compliance with

these standards, adequate record

keeping is necessary. In the absence of

such information, enforcement

personnel would be unable to determine

whether the standards, that are

protective of public health, are being

met on a continuous basis, as required

by the Clean Air Act.
