Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 208 / Monday, October 28, 2013 / Notices 64209 

extraordinary circumstances resulting 

from the lapse in Federal appropriations 

in October 2013 and the resulting 

postponement of the EM SSAB Chairs’ 

meeting, which originally was 

scheduled for October 16–17, 2013. 

Rescheduling for the dates of November 

5–6, 2013, is necessary in order to 

accommodate participation by senior 

management and to avoid conflicts with 

the scheduled committee meetings of 

this federal advisory board. The EM 

SSAB Chairs have not had a face-to-face 

meeting in over a year, and these 

meetings constitute the full board 

meetings of the EM SSAB, fulfilling 

Federal Advisory Committee Act 

(FACA) requirements. Arrangements 

and meeting costs agreed upon for the 

postponed meeting will be extended by 

the vendors if the meeting is held 

within this timeframe. A later date at 

this Ohio venue is inadvisable due to 

inclement weather concerns. 

Minutes: Minutes will be available by 

writing or calling Catherine Alexander 

at the address or phone number listed 

above. Minutes will also be available at 

the following Web site: http://

ssabchairs.aspx.

Abstract: Under the provisions of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator 

is required to promulgate regulations to 

control air pollutant emissions from 

motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as 

defined in the CAA. Per Sections 

207(c)(1) and 213 of the CAA, when a 

substantial number of properly 

maintained and used engines produced 

by a manufacturer do not conform to 

emission standards, the manufacturer is 

required to recall the engines. Engine 

manufacturers are required to submit 

Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if 

emission-related defects are found on 

engines of the same model year that may 

cause the engines’ emissions to exceed 

the standards. EPA uses these reports to 

target potentially nonconforming classes 

of engines for future testing, to monitor 

compliance with applicable regulations 

and to order a recall, if necessary. 

Manufacturers can also initiate a recall 

voluntarily by submitting a Voluntary 

Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs 

and VERR updates allow EPA to 

determine whether the manufacturer 

conducting the recall is acting in 

accordance with the CAA and to 

examine and monitor the effectiveness 

of the recall campaign. 

Forms: The forms associated with this 

ICR are available in the docket (EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2006–0895). 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers of heavy-duty highway 

and nonroad engines. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under 40 CFR parts 85, 89, 

90, 91, 92, 94, 1035, 1039, 1042, 1045, 

1048, 1051, 1054, 1068. 

Estimated number of respondents: 40 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Quarterly. 

Total estimated burden: 15,084 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $1,042,252 (per 

year), includes $9,800 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 11,479 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due to a 

significant decrease in the estimated 

number of respondents. This decrease is 

due to adjustments EPA has made to its 

estimates.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
