Short
Characterization
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
engine
prototypes
that
comply
with
applicable
emission
standards.
Such
a
certificate
must
be
issued
before
engines
produced
after
these
prototypes
may
be
legally
introduced
into
commerce.
EPA
regulations
pertaining
to
spark­
ignition
engines
rated
at
or
below
19
kilowatts
(
small
SI
engines)
are
found
at
40
CFR
Part
90.

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
Productionline
Testing
(
PLT)
Program,
manufacturers
are
required
to
test
a
sample
of
engines
as
they
leave
the
assembly
line.
This
selfaudit
program
(
referred
to
as
the
"
PLT
Program")
allows
manufacturers
to
monitor
compliance
with
statistical
certainty
and
minimize
the
cost
of
correcting
errors
through
early
detection.
Through
Selective
Enforcement
Audits
(
SEAs),
EPA
verifies
that
test
data
submitted
by
engine
manufacturers
is
reliable
and
testing
is
performed
according
to
EPA
regulations.
Compliance
with
emission
regulations
throughout
the
useful
life
of
an
engine
is
verified
through
the
In­
use
Testing
Programs
(
In­
use)
under
which
manufacturers
test
small
SI
engines
after
a
number
of
years
of
use.

This
information
is
collected
by
the
Engine
Programs
Group
(
EPG),
Certification
and
Compliance
Division
(
CCD),
Office
of
Transportation
and
Air
Quality
(
OTAQ),
Office
of
Air
and
Radiation
(
OAR),
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
Besides
CCD,
this
information
could
be
used
by
the
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
(
OECA)
and
the
Department
of
Justice
for
enforcement
purposes.
Non­
confidential
portions
of
the
information
submitted
to
EPA
could
be
disclosed
in
a
public
database
and
over
the
Internet.
This
information
is
used
by
trade
associations,
­
3­
environmental
groups,
and
the
public.
Respondents
usually
submit
this
information
in
an
electronic
format
and
EPG
stores
it
in
a
database.

It
has
been
estimated
that
a
total
of
59
small
SI
engine
manufacturers
will
respond
to
this
collection
with
an
approximate
cost
of
$
1,591,487.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
EPA's
emission
certification
and
compliance
programs
are
statutorily
mandated;
the
agency
does
not
have
discretion
to
cease
these
functions.
Under
Section
206(
a)
of
the
CAA
(
42
USC
7521),
engine
manufacturers
may
not
legally
introduce
their
products
into
US
commerce
unless
EPA
has
certified
that
their
production
complies
with
applicable
emission
standards.
Section
213(
d)
extends
all
emission
certification
and
compliance
provisions
to
nonroad
engines
and
vehicles.

Section
206(
b)(
1)
of
the
Act
authorizes
EPA
to
inspect
and
require
testing
of
new
vehicles
and
engines
to:
(
1)
verify
that
manufacturer's
final
product
actually
complies
with
EPA
standards;
(
2)
assure
that
the
correct
parts
are
installed
correctly
in
each
engine;
and
(
3)
audit
the
manufacturer's
testing
process
to
ensure
testing
is
being
done
correctly.
The
small
SI
Production
Line
Testing
Program
(
PLT,
codified
at
40
CFR
90,
Subpart
H)
and
the
Selective
Enforcement
Audit
Program
(
SEA,
codified
at
40
CFR
90,
Subpart
F)
fulfill
these
requirements
by
inspecting
and
testing
engines
taken
directly
from
the
assembly
line
and
by
auditing
the
engine
manufacturer's
testing
procedures
and
facilities.

Section
207(
b)
of
the
Acts
mandates
the
establishment
of
methods
and
testing
procedures
to
ascertain
whether
certified
engines
in
actual
use
in
fact
comply
with
applicable
emission
standards
throughout
their
useful
lives.
The
In­
use
Testing
Program's
(
In­
use)
procedures
for
small
SI
engines
are
codified
at
40
CFR
90,
Subparts
B
and

Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
EPA
uses
the
information
requested
to
support
various
enforcement
actions
as
mandated
by
the
CAA.
This
information
collection
enables
EPA
to
ensure
that
small
SI
engine
manufacturers
are
complying
with
applicable
emission
regulations,
­
4­
measure
the
impact
of
nonroad
engines'
emissions
on
air
quality,
and
take
corrective
actions
as
needed.

The
information
will
be
received
and
used
by
EPG/
CCD/
OTAQ/
OAR.
Non­
confidential
portions
of
the
information
submitted
to
EPG
is
available
to
and
used
by
importers,
environmental
groups,
members
of
the
public
and
local,
state
and
federal
government
organizations.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
information
requested
under
this
ICR
is
required
by
statute.
Because
of
its
specialized
nature,
the
information
collected
is
not
available
from
any
other
source.
Furthermore,
some
of
the
information,
such
as
projected
US
sales
volume,
is
claimed
as
confidential
business
information
(
CBI)
by
manufacturers;
therefore
EPA
can
only
obtain
it
if
manufacturers
submit
it.

3(

Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
For
practical
reasons,
PLT
reports
are
submitted
on
a
quarterly
basis.
Manufacturers
are
required
to
test
up
to
one
percent
of
their
production
at
random
to
ensure
that
mass
produced
engines
comply
with
emission
requirements.
If
a
problem
is
found,
manufacturers
must
correct
it
and
might
need
to
recall
engines
that
have
already
been
sold.
Engine
manufacturing
companies
update
their
internal
production
volume
reports
every
quarter.
By
conducting
this
quality
control
testing
also
on
a
quarterly
basis,
manufacturers
are
able
to
learn
about
and
address
any
problems
early,
before
the
start
of
the
next
quarter's
production,
thus
minimizing
costs.

In­
use
testing
reports
must
be
submitted
annually,
within
three
months
of
the
completion
of
the
required
testing.
Providing
this
information
to
EPA
at
a
less
frequent
interval
would
compromise
the
Agency's
ability
to
expeditiously
evaluate
the
emissions
results
and
determine,
in
a
timely
manner,
whether
inuse
small
SI
engines
conform
to
emission
standards.
Any
delay
in
making
such
a
determination
reduces
the
universe
of
engines
which
will
be
reached
by
a
potential
recall
because
both
engine
scrappage
and
owners'
unwillingness
to
participate
in
recalls
increase
with
the
age
of
the
engine.

SEA
information
is
only
collected
on
occasion,
when
EPA
has
reason
to
believe
that
an
audit
of
a
particular
manufacturer
is
in
order.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
According
to
40
CFR
90.121(
a)(
2),
all
In­
use
related
records
must
be
maintained
for
eight
years,
except
for
routine
emission
test
data
such
as
those
reporting
the
condition
of
the
test
cells.
Such
data
need
to
be
kept
for
one
year
only
(
90.121(
b)).
However,
"
records
may
be
kept
in
any
format
and
on
any
media,
provided
that,
at
the
Administrator's
request,
organized,
written
records
in
English
are
promptly
supplied
by
the
manufacturer"
(
40
CFR
90.121(
c)).
This
requirement
stems
from
the
CAA
mandate
that
manufacturers
recall
engines
failing
to
meet
emission
standards
throughout
their
useful
lives.

Under
this
information
collection,
manufacturers
are
required
to
submit
confidential
business
information
such
as
sales
projections.
Furthermore,
certain
sensitive
technical
and
proprietary
information
submitted
during
the
certification
process
could
be
used
during
SEAs.
This
information
is
kept
confidential
­
6­
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.

No
other
general
guideline
is
exceeded
by
this
information
collection.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
Manufacturers
are
allowed
to
assert
a
claim
of
confidentiality
over
information
provided
to
EPA.
Confidentiality
is
provided
in
accordance
with
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act
and
EPA
regulations
at
40
CFR
Part
2.

Respondents
and
Information
Requested
4(
a)
Respondents/
NAICS
Codes
Respondents
are
manufacturers
of
nonroad
engines
within
the
following
North
American
Industry
Classification
System
(
NAICS)
code:

333618

Manufacturing
4(
b)
Information
Requested
Information
requested
under
this
information
collection
consists
mainly
of
test
results,
a
description
of
the
engines
tested
and
the
conditions
under
which
the
tests
took
place.

It
is
important
to
note
that,
although
test
information
requested
generally
refers
to
a
single
test
engine,
some
of
the
information
refers
to
the
engine
family
to
which
that
engine
belongs.
An
`
engine
family'
is
a
group
of
engines
expected
to
have
similar
characteristics.
Section
90.116
contains
criteria
used
to
group
engines
into
engine
families.
Each
engine
family
may
contain
more
than
one
engine
model
or
configuration.
Engine
emission
tests
are
used
as
a
representation
of
the
emission
­
7­
performance
of
the
entire
engine
family.
For
example,
when
a
family
is
audited
under
the
SEA
Program,
a
number
of
engines
from
that
engine
family
is
tested
to
establish
with
statistical
certainty
the
engine
family's
emissions
performance.
If
a
significant
number
of
engines
from
a
family
(
regardless
of
engine
model
or
configuration)
fail
the
audit,
the
certificate
of
conformity
with
emission
standards
issued
to
the
corresponding
family
is
suspended.
This
affects
all
engine
models
within
the
family.

Engine
families
need
to
be
certified
each
model
year.
A
`
model
year'
refers
to
"
the
manufacturer's
annual
new
model
production
period"
(
section
90.3),
or
a
calendar
year
if
the
manufacturer
does
not
have
a
model
year.
Manufacturers
may
make
changes
to
one
or
more
engine
models
within
a
family
at
any
time
during
the
model
year.
These
changes
may
significantly
affect
the
engine
model's,
and
therefore,
the
engine
family's
emission
levels.
For
this
reason,
all
small
SI
engine
programs
run
on
a
model
year
basis.

Some
of
these
data

and
submitted
only
upon
request.

A.
Production­
Line
Testing
(
PLT)
Program
Only
Phase
2
small
SI
engines
are
subject
to
PLT
requirements.
Phase
2
refers
to
a
second,
more
stringer
tier
of
emission
regulations
for
small
SI
engines.
The
different
provisions
in
these
and
other
small
SI
emission
control
programs
are
design
to
ease
manufacturers'
transition
from
Phase
1
to
Phase
2
standards.

Participation
in
PLT
is
optional
for
small
volume
engine
manufacturers
and
small
volume
engine
families
(
see
section
5(
c)
for
details).
Engine
families,
regardless
of
size,
for
which
the
manufacturer
opts
to
conduct
In­
use
testing
are
exempt
from
PLT
requirements.
All
manufacturers
and
engine
families,
however,
remain
subject
to
SEAs.

Each
calendar
quarter,
participating
manufacturers
must
test
a
sample
of
SI
engines
taken
directly
from
the
assembly
line.
These
tests
must
be
performed
according
to
40
CFR
Subpart
E,
unless
EPA
approves
a
variation.

Per
90.704(

EPA
can
require
manufacturers
to
submit
or

Selective
Enforcement
Auditing
(
SEAs)

All
small
SI
engine
manufacturers
are
subject
to
be
audited
by
EPA.
EPA
collects
the
information
needed
for
SEAs
in
two
stages:
First,
a
limited
number
of
manufacturers
is
asked
to
submit
their
production
plans
for
a
specified
period
of
time,
as
described
below.
EPA
uses
this
"
pre­
audit"
information
to
efficiently
determine
which
manufacturers
and
engine
models
to
audit.
After
a
manufacturer
has
been
chosen,
EPA
issues
a
test
order
specifying
which
engine
models
and
configurations
will
be
tested.
When
all
required
testing
in
completed,
manufacturers
submit
a
report
containing
all
testing
results.
This
"
audit"
information
is
then
used
to
determine
compliance
with
applicable
emission
standards.

Per
90.505
(
d),
EPA
can
request
manufacturers
to
submit
additional
SEA
information
or
keep
records
not
specifically
listed
in

Collection
Methodology
and
Management
EPA
currently
makes
extensive
use
of
electronic
media
in
gathering
and
evaluating
information
from
small
SI
engine
manufacturers.
Manufacturers
submit
PLT
and
In­
use
data
in
­
19­
electronic
formats.
SEA
reports
can
be
submitted
electronically;
however,
it
is
up
to
the
manufacturer
to
decide
how
to
submit
it.

Once
the
data
is
received,
the
information
is
entered
into
a
database
and
reviewed
for
completeness.
If
the
manufacturer
chooses
to
make
hard
copy
submittals,
then
EPA
manually
enters
the
information
into
the
database.
The
certification
reviewer
analyses
the
information
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
CAA
and
applicable
regulations.

In
the
future,
the
public
will
be
able
to
access
nonconfidential
portions
of
the
testing
reports
by
contacting
the
EPG
or
through
the

manufacturers'
and
`
small
volume
engine
families'.
A
`
small
volume
engine
manufacturer'
is,
as
defined
at
section
90.3,
"
for
non­
handheld
engines,
any
engine
manufacturer
whose
total
eligible
production
of
non­
handheld
engines
[
is]
projected
at
the
time
of
certification
of
a
given
model
year
to
be
no
more
than
10,000
non­
handheld
engines."
For
handheld
engines,
the
term
`
small
volume
engine
manufacturer'
means
"
any
engine
manufacturer
whose
total
eligible
production
of
handheld
engines
[
is]
projected
at
the
time
of
certification
to
be
no
more
than
25,000
handheld
engines."
`
Small
volume
engine
family'
is
any
family,
non­
handheld
or
handheld,
with
an
eligible
production
in
any
given
model
year
of
no
more
than
5,000
engines.

Under
the
Phase
I
In­
use
Testing
Program,
EPA
has
provided
flexibility
to
engine
manufacturers
with
even
larger
production
volumes.
Manufacturers
whose
total
US
projected
annual
production
for
any
given
model
year
is
75,000
engines
or
less
may
test
a
minimum
of
two
engines.
This
provision,
found
at
90.113(
b)(
2),
reduces
the
cost
of
the
program
for
manufacturers
with
limited
production.
Manufacturers
with
larger
production
volumes
calculate
the
minimum
amount
of
engines
they
need
to
test
by
following
criteria
found
at
Section
90.113(
b)(
1).

Further
reductions
in
burden
are
achieved
by
allowing
engine
manufacturers
with
annual
sales
of
less
than
50,000
engines
to
obtain,
with
EPA
approval,
in­
use
engines
from
sources
associated
with
itself
or
its
equipment
manufacturers.
Other
engine
manufactures
must
procure
engines
form
sources
outside
of
their
and
their
equipment
manufacturers'
control.

Under
the
other
programs
included
in
this
ICR
(
SEA
and
Phase
2
In­
use
testing),
the
information
being
requested
is
considered
­
20­
to
be
the
minimum
needed
to
effectively
maintain
the
programs'
integrity
and
comply
with
the
requirements
of
the
Clean
Air
Act.
Further
measures
to
simplify
reporting
requirements
for
small
businesses
do
not
appear
prudent
or
necessary.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
PLT
reports
are
submitted
quarterly,
as
required
by
40
CFR
90.709(
e).
SEA
reports
are
submitted
on
occasion,
after
EPA
has
concluded
an
audit.

Under
the
In­
use
testing
program,
Phase
1
engine
manufacturers
must
submit,
by
January
30
of
each
calendar
year,
all
emission
test
results
generated
from
in­
use
testing.
Phase
2
manufacturers
need
to
submit
their
reports
within
90
days
of
having
completed
all
in­
use
testing
for
a
given
engine
family.
They
have,
however,
up
to
three
years
to
complete
such
testing.

Section
3(
d)
elaborates
on
the
reasons
for
this
collection
schedule.

associated
with
this
information
collection
include
diskettes,
photocopying,
postage
and
other
shipping
expenses,
calls,
maintenance
of
emission
laboratories,
and
testing
costs.
Diskettes
are
used
by
manufacturers
to
submit
their
electronic
applications
and
to
keep
records.

Capital
costs
(
associated
with
building
emission
testing
facilities)
were
incurred
by
manufacturers
when
the
small
SI
engine
industry
became
regulated
for
the
first
time.
Therefore,
capital
costs
are
excluded
from
this
ICR.
EPA
does
not
expect
any
new
engine
manufacturers
to
enter
the
US
market
in
the
next
three
years
and
build
its
own
emission

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
the
number
of
emission
certification
applications
received
for
model
year
2003,
there
are
32
Phase
1
small
SI
engine
manufacturers
and
39
Phase
2
small
SI
engine
manufacturers
in
the
US
market
today.
The
burden
estimates
for
this
information
collection
are
based
on
the
information
they
have
submitted
to
EPA.
­
23­
To
estimate
the
financial
burden
of
engine
testing
several
factors
were
taken
into
account:
(
1)
whether
a
manufacturer
is
capable
of
performing
emission
testing
in­
house
(
has
its
own
equipment)
or
contracts
an
independent
facility,
and
(
2)
the
number
of
tests
needed
to
demonstrate
compliance.
The
number
of
tests
depends
on
the
requirements
of
each
program,
the
manufacturer's
projected
US
production
per
engine
family,
and
total
number
of
engine
families.

Testing
equipment
is
used
for
a
variety
of
purposes
other
than
to
respond
to
this
information
collection,
such
as
Research
and
Development,
and
US
and
foreign
certification­
related
testing.
The
total
cost
of
maintaining
these
laboratories
have
been
estimated
at
$
60,000
per
year.
This
estimate
includes
the
cost
of
test
fuels,
calibration
gases
and
equipment.
The
full
amount
was
included
in
the
small
SI
certification
ICR
(
OMB
Number
2060­
0338),
and
therefore
excluded
from
this
ICR
to
avoid
duplication.

The
number
of
tests
manufacturers
need
to
perform
under
the
PLT
program
depends
on
several
factors
described
at
90.706.
However,
per
90.706(
b)(
8),
the
sample
size
need
not
exceed
the
lesser
of
(
1)
30
engines
per
engine
family,
or
(
2)
one
percent
of
the
projected
annual
US
production
for
that
engine
family.
The
frequency
of
testing
expressed
in
each
burden
table
reflects
those
limits.

Twenty­
seven
manufacturers
participate
in
the
PLT
program
(
Phase
2
only).
Twenty­
six
of
them
own
testing
facilities.
Together,
they
account
for
329
engine
families
(
13
engine
families
per
manufacturer)
and
perform,
in
average,
about
171
tests
per
engine
family
to
comply
with
PLT
requirements.
Only
one
manufacturer
hires
an
independent
laboratory
for
PLT
testing
and
performs
about
30
tests
per
model
year
(
one
engine
family).
EPA
has
estimated
the
cost
of
these
tests
to
be
$
2,750
per
test
(
30
*
$
2750
=
$
82,500).

In­
use
Program's
requirements
are
different.
For
Phase
1,
manufacturers
whose
total
projected
US
production
volume
does
not
exceed
75,000
engines
need
to
test
a
minimum
of
2
engines
per
model
year
(
90.113(
b)(
2)).
Those
whose
total
projected
US
production
exceeds
75,000
engines,
follow
the
instruction
at
90.113(
b)(
1)
to
determine
the
minimum
number
of
engines
they
need
to
test.
Based
on
model
year
2003
data,
EPA
has
calculated
that
a
total
of
26
manufacturers
with
US
production
of
less
than
75,000
engines
participate
in
the
In­
use
program.
Nine
of
them
contract
out
testing
services.
Also,
EPA
estimates
that
only
six
manufacturers
have
projected
US
production
in
excess
of
75,000
engines.
They
need
to
perform,
in
average,
16
tests
per
model
year
to
comply.

Phase
2
manufacturers
only
need
to
test
a
minimum
of
three
engines
per
engine
family
and
can
include
up
to
20%
of
their
­
24­
engine
families
in
the
program.
EPA
estimates
that
two
engine
manufacturers
will
participate
with
three
engine
families
each.

Regarding
SEAs,
EPA
has
not
conducted
small
SI
audits
in
recent
years.
However,
EPA
could
conduct
approximately
12
SEAs
within
the
next
three
years.
An
approximate
number
of
test
orders
per
manufacturer
was
calculated
in
accordance
with
90.503(
f)(
1).

Reasons
for
change
in
burden
The
total
burden
associated
with
small
SI
engine
emissions
compliance
programs
has
decreased
significantly
from
the
previous
ICR.
There
are
several
reasons
for
this
change.
First,
the
learning
curve
accounted
for
in
the
previous
ICR
has
been
eliminated.
The
programs
contained
in
this
collection
request
have
been
in
place
for
a
number
of
years
and
by
now
manufacturers
know
EPA
requirements
well.
They
have
also
developed
their
own
compliance
plans
and
procedures.
Second,
EPA
has
streamlined
its
reporting
requirements
and
receives
reports
electronically.
All
manufacturers
use
now
electronic
ways
to
communicate
with
EPA
and
to
process
data,
significantly
reducing
the
time
it
takes
to
gather
and
keep
needed
information,
prepare
and
submit
reports.

6(

Burden
Statement
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
is
estimated
to
average
529
hours
per
respondent
for
the
Production
Line
Testing
Program,
354
hours
per
respondent
for
the
In­
use
Testing
Programs
and
127
hours
per
respondent
for
the
Selective
Enforcement
Auditing
Program.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
­
26­
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
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
