Short
Characterization
The
Clean
Air
Act
authorizes
EPA
to
adopt
emission
standards
for
new
nonroad
engines.
We
need
information
to
verify
that
manufacturers
comply
with
emission
standards
 
before
production
begins,
during
production,
and
after
units
have
been
placed
into
service.
We
require
manufacturers
to
generate
or
retain
information
to
demonstrate
that
engines
comply
with
emission
standards.

Manufacturers
generally
send
us
the
data
they
collected
and
keep
these
records
and
other
pertinent
information.
We
may
request
to
see
any
of
these
records.
We
and
the
regulated
companies
will
use
the
data
exclusively
to
ensure
compliance
with
emission
standards.
Emission
rates
for
specific
pollutants
and
total
numbers
of
engines
built
are
examples
of
what
we
require.

This
ICR
is
a
revision
to
the
existing
information
collection
approved
under
OMB
control
number
2060­
0460.
The
revisions
generally
include
new
standards,
testing,
and
reporting
requirements
for
nonroad
diesel
engines.

2.
Need
For
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a).
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
data
we
require
in
this
ICR
is
necessary
to
comply
with
Title
II
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended
in
1990.
The
Act
directs
us
to
adopt
regulations
for
nonroad
engines
if
we
determine
those
engines
contribute
significantly
to
air
pollution
in
the
U.
S.
Now
that
we
have
made
this
determination,
the
Act
directs
us
to
set
emission
standards
for
any
category
of
nonroad
engines
that
contributes
to
air
quality
nonattainment
in
two
or
more
areas
in
the
U.
S.
We
can
only
meet
the
requirements
of
the
Act
by
collecting
data
from
the
regulated
industry.
Also,
we
will
only
have
an
effective
program
if
we
know
that
these
engines
maintain
their
certified
emission
level
throughout
their
operating
lives.

2(
b).
Use/
Users
of
the
Data
We
will
oversee
the
certification
process
and
maintain
the
program
database.
We
will
use
the
2
data
items
to
verify
compliance
with
the
following
requirements
associated
with
the
new
emission
standards:

Determine
whether
or
not
a
prototype
engine
may
adequately
represent
an
engine
family.

Ensure
compliance
of
production­
line
engines.

Issue
a
recall
to
correct
a
noncompliant
family
of
engines.

Confirm
actual
emission
benefits
gained
by
the
program.

Ensure
proper
maintenance
and
setting
of
physically
adjustable
parameters.

Aid
in
the
production
projections
to
randomly
select
the
engines
which
are
to
undergo
testing.

Determine
whether
a
prototype
or
freshly
manufactured
engine
should
be
issued
a
certificate
of
conformity.

Ensure
that
durability
of
emission
controls
is
consistent
with
the
manufacturer's
stated
useful
life.

Ensure
control
of
emissions
across
the
range
of
engine
operation
expected
in
the
normal
course
of
its
lifetime

Manage
the
importation
of
engines
that
meet
requirements

Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a).
Nonduplication
State
and
local
governments
have
not
adopted
emission
standards
comparable
to
those
we
are
adopting.
The
information
requested
under
this
ICR
is
therefore
not
available
from
other
sources.

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
We
published
a
proposed
rulemaking
in
the
Federal
Register
regarding
emission
standards
for
nonroad
diesel
engines
on
May
23,
2003.
We
received
comments
on
several
issues
related
to
information
collection.
These
comments
are
summarized
in
the
following
table.

EMA
Identifying
the
worst­
case
engine
configuration
in
an
engine
family
is
overly
burdensome.
Manufacturers
are
responsible
to
use
"
good
engineering
judgment"
in
selecting
the
worstcase
engine.
This
is
consistent
with
their
ongoing
liability
for
meeting
the
emission
standards
for
all
engine
configurations.

Yanmar
Manufacturers
should
be
able
to
choose
between
the
C1
and
the
G2
duty
cycles
for
testing
engines
below
19
kW.
We
proposed
to
specify
the
G2
duty
cycle
instead
of
the
C1
duty
cycle
for
testing
engines
below
19
kW.
We
agree
with
the
commenter,
but
only
for
engines
that
the
manufacturer
will
sell
into
applications
that
run
at
intermediate
speeds,
which
is
appropriate
for
the
C1
duty
cycle.

EMA
EPA
should
not
change
the
smoke
test.
We
proposed
to
rely
on
the
new
international
procedure
for
measuring
smoke.
However,
since
smoke
testing
will
continue
only
for
those
engines
that
do
not
have
PM
aftertreatment,
we
agree
with
manufacturers
that
it
is
not
worth
investing
in
new
measurement
equipment
and
procedures
for
smoke.

EMA
The
thresholds
for
investigating
and
reporting
defects
are
too
low.
We
have
adjusted
the
investigation
and
reporting
thresholds
to
reduce
the
recordkeeping
burden,
as
described
in
the
Summary
and
Analysis
of
Comments.

EMA
Manufacturers
should
not
have
to
make
production
engines
available
to
EPA
for
testing.
From
the
beginning
of
EPA
emission
standards,
we
have
reserved
the
right
to
procure
and
test
manufacturers'
production
engines.
While
this
is
not
a
frequent
occurrence,
we
believe
it
is
an
important
element
of
our
effort
to
ensure
compliance
with
emission
standards.

EMA
EPA
should
allow
for
treating
all
information
from
manufacturers
as
confidential,
not
just
information
EMA
sends
to
EPA.
The
proposed
regulatory
provisions
related
to
confidential
information
do
not
limit
manufacturers'
ability
to
identify
information
as
confidential,
whether
that
information
comes
from
site
visits,
inspections,
special
testing,
or
other
means.

Respondents
and
Information
Requested
(

Data
Items
6
Manufacturers
must
send
us
an
application
for
certification,
including
emission
data
and
other
descriptive
information.
In
addition,
manufacturers
create
engine
labels
and
send
us
information
in
some
cases
regarding
engines
that
are
exempt
from
emission
standards
or
other
specific
requirements.

(
ii)
Respondent
Activities
Companies
retain
records
as
hard
copy
and
may
also
reduce
the
information
to
microfilm,
computer
disks,
etc.
We
require
very
little
submission
of
information
to
process
applications
for
certification.
This
reduces
the
resource
burden,
both
for
the
industry
and
for
us.
However,
because
we
don't
have
the
information
on
file,
we
depend
on
manufacturers
to
retain
the
records
to
allow
us
to
verify
compliance
throughout
the
useful
life
of
the
engines.
Eight
years
is
sufficient
time
for
this
information
for
most
engines.
Any
investigation
of
in­
use
engines
generally
does
not
start
until
three
or
more
years
after
the
manufacturer
completes
the
application
for
certification.

Manufacturers
must
send
us
an
application
for
certification
with
extensive
information
about
their
engines.
For
example,
this
includes
the
following
things:

"
Data
showing
an
engine's
emission
level
of
various
regulated
pollutants
for
comparison
to
the
emission
standards.
We
also
require
manufacturers
to
send
data
regarding
CO
2
emissions
so
that
we
can
verify
their
calculations.
Emission
data
generally
relates
to
new
engines
or
to
engines
that
have
been
operated
for
an
extended
period
to
allow
for
estimating
the
performance
of
the
emission­
control
system
after
accounting
for
deterioration
over
the
full
useful
life.

"
A
description
of
all
their
emission­
related
components
and
emission­
control
strategies
and
how
they
tested
their
engines.

"
Maintenance
instructions
for
users.

"
Installation
instructions
for
equipment
manufacturers.

"
Information
related
to
adjustable
parameters.

"
Instructions
related
to
reading
information
from
the
engine's
onboard
computer.

"
Projected
production
volumes.

We
sometimes
exempt
engines
from
current
emission
standards,
but
require
manufacturers
to
meet
less
stringent
emission
standards
as
a
condition
of
the
exemption.
In
these
cases,
manufacturers
must
generally
use
engines
that
are
identical
to
those
they
have
already
certified.
If
they
can't
make
engines
that
are
identical
to
previously
certified
engines,
we
require
them
to
generate
the
same
information
that
they
would
need
to
certify,
but
stop
short
of
requiring
them
to
submit
the
data
and
apply
for
a
certificate
of
conformity.

Some
manufacturers
also
participate
in
emission­
credit
programs,
in
which
they
produce
some
engines
with
emissions
above
the
standard
and
others
with
emissions
below
the
standard
and
report
annually
to
show
that
they
have
sufficient
credits
to
meet
applicable
requirements.
This
is
an
optional
program,
so
we
don't
include
specific
estimates
related
to
any
additional
reporting
or
recordkeeping
for
generating
or
using
emission
credits.
7
As
part
of
the
requirements
related
to
certification,
manufacturers
must
label
all
their
engines
to
show
their
status
relative
to
certification.
Most
engines
will
have
a
label
describing
how
the
engine
is
certified.
Some
engines
need
a
label
describing
how
they
are
exempt
from
current
emission
standards.
In
some
cases,
engine
manufacturers
need
to
send
additional
labels
for
equipment
manufacturers
to
apply
to
equipment
after
installing
the
engine
to
alert
operators
to
any
particular
engine
requirements
related
to
fuel
quality.
Manufacturers
may
also
need
to
send
duplicates
of
their
certification
label
to
equipment
manufacturers
who
find
that
the
original
label
is
obscured
once
the
engine
is
installed
in
the
equipment.

Over
the
course
of
the
year,
manufacturers
must
amend
their
application
for
certification
if
they
change
their
engines
or
add
new
engines
under
an
existing
certificate.
They
must
also
notify
us
in
certain
cases
if
they
change
their
maintenance
instructions
for
users.
Manufacturers
must
annually
report
their
production
volumes,
divided
by
certain
characteristics.

We
may
require
manufacturers
to
test
their
engines
at
the
production
line
in
a
selective
enforcement
audit.
This
involves
testing
several
engines
to
show
that
the
meet
emission
standards.
Similarly,
we
may
require
manufacturers
to
supply
us
with
production
engines
for
our
testing.

Manufacturers
must
also
report
to
us
if
they
learn
that
a
substantial
number
of
their
engines
have
emission­
related
defects.
This
is
normally
not
a
requirement
to
collect
information,
but
if
manufacturers
learn
that
there
is
or
might
be
a
substantial
number
of
emission­
related
defects,
then
they
must
send
us
information
describing
the
defects.

Many
companies
import
engines.
First,
some
companies
import
engines
that
are
not
subject
to
emission
standards;
they
must,
however,
fill
out
a
form
documenting
the
status
of
their
engine
and
the
reason
for
their
exemption.
Since
most
engines
are
now
covered
by
emission
standards,
this
has
become
much
less
common.
It
is
now
generally
limited
to
engines
used
for
stationary,
underground
mining,
and
hobby
applications.
Second,
some
companies
import
engines
as
Independent
Commercial
Importers,
meaning
that
they
do
their
own
testing
instead
of
importing
engines
that
have
been
certified
by
engine
manufacturers.

We
have
also
adopted
special
provisions
that
allow
equipment
manufacturers
to
sell
equipment
with
uncertified
engines
(
or
engines
certified
to
less
stringent
standards).
This
involves
a
one­
time
notification
before
using
this
flexibility
and
annual
reporting
to
document
compliance
with
these
provisions.
This
is
a
voluntary
program
that
substantially
reduces
the
costs
of
compliance
for
engine
manufacturers,
so
we
have
not
included
specific
costs
related
to
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
activities
here.

All
reports,
submissions,
notifications,
and
requests
for
approval
must
be

Agency
Activities,
Collection
Methodology,
and
Information
Management
5
(
a)
Agency
Activities
Our
certification
and
tracking
process
involves
reviewing
applications
and
emission
data
from
engine
and
vehicle
manufacturers.
From
this
data,
we
issue
certificates
of
conformity,
and
may
confirm
that
production
and
in­
use
engines
continue
to
comply
with
standards.
We
may
also
select
families
to
be
tested
in
a
given
production
year
and
require
additional
testing,
based
on
an
analysis
of
the
submitted
data.

5
(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
We
currently
use
computers
extensively
to
collect
information
from
vehicle
manufacturers.
Based
on
this
approach
as
a
model,
much
routine
information
(
test
results,
projections)
can
be
electronically
transmitted
directly
from
the
manufacturers
to
our
computer
database.
We
expect
to
publish
this
information
on
our
website
once
certified
engines
go
into
production
(
www.
epa.
gov/
otaq/).

5
(
c)
Small­
Entity
Flexibility
We
have
included
provisions
to
ease
the
compliance
burden
on
small
businesses.
For
instance,
some
small
manufacturers
of
nonroad
diesel
engines
will
be
allowed
the
option
to
delay
compliance
with
emission
standards.
For
small
manufacturers
of
nonroad
diesel
equipment,
we
also
permit
the
installation
of
a

number
of
engines
that
meet
less

Collection
Schedule
The
principal
reporting
requirements
are
associated
with
certification
to
the
emission
standards,
which
begin
to
apply
in
2008.
Reporting
requirements
therefore
do
not
begin
until
the
end
of
the
preceding
year
at
the
earliest.
Annual
reporting
is
based
on
the
beginning
of
the
model
year,
which
can
vary
for
each
manufacturer
and
for
each
engine
family.

6.
Estimating
Burden
and
Cost
of
the
Collection
Engine
manufacturers
comply
with
emission
standards
by
submitting
an
application
for
certification,
which
obligates
them
to
do
a
certain
amount
of
testing
to
show
they
comply
with
the
standards.
The
following
discussion
develops
burden
and
cost
estimates
for
the
first
three
years
of
the
program.

6
(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
9
The
estimates
of
respondent
burden
utilize
data
from
the
affected
industries
or
commercially
available
databases.
Burden
hours
per
engine
family
are
based
upon
established
hour
amounts
for
engine
families,
as
published
in
the
"
Application
for
Motor
Vehicle
Emission
Certification
and
Fuel
Economy
Labeling"
(
OMB
No.
2060­
0104).

The
burden
for
certification
testing
is
generally
based
on
conducting
four
engine
tests
for
each
engine
family,
then
using
that
test
data
for
several
years.
The
estimated
cost
for
full
certification
testing,
including
durability
demonstration
testing,
is
$
15,000
per
engine
test
(
combining
labor
and
O&
M
expenses).
The
manufacturer's
application
for
certification
involves
an
extensive
effort
the
first
year,
followed
by
relatively
little
effort
in
subsequent
years.
We
estimate
that
manufacturers
will
conduct
new
certification
testing
every
five
years;
the
costs
have
been
estimated
on
an
annual
average
basis.

In
addition
to
testing,
manufacturers
must
prepare
the
application
for
certification
and
maintain
appropriate
records.
We
have
estimated
the
cost
of
these
combined
activities,
which
include
engineering
and
clerical
effort,
to
be
$
10,000
per
engine
family
per
certification
cycle.
As
with
the
testing
costs,
we
are
presenting
annual
average
costs.

Manufacturers
are
also
expected
to
conduct
testing
on
their
production
engines
in
a
selective
enforcement
audit.
We
base
the
estimated
costs
on
testing
10
engine
families
annually,
at
approximately
$
80,000
per
family.
This
allows
for
testing
multiple
engines
in
each
family.

The
estimated
burden
also
takes
into
account
the
manufacturers'
need
to
investigate
and
report
emission­
related
defects.
The
analysis
bases
this
estimate
on
a
scenario
in
which
10
percent
of
engine
families
trigger
the
defect­
investigation
threshold.
We
estimate
that
each
of
these
families
would
require
on
average
126
hours
of
effort
to
perform
the
investigation
and
submit
the
required
reports.

These
burden
estimates
apply
equally
whether
the
manufacturer
conducts
the
required
activities,
or
if
the
manufacturer
hires
a
third
party
for
some
of
these
activities.

Technical
labor
is
$
42.89/
hr,
managerial
labor
is
$
65.19/
hr,
clerical
labor
is
$
27.11/
hr.
Labor
rates
were
multiplied
by
1.5
to
account
for
fringe
benefits
and
other
overhead
expenses.

(
ii)
Estimating
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
Operation
and
maintenance
costs
include
expenses
related
to
engine
testing.
Costs
are
for
10
laboratory
time,
the
use
of
test
equipment,
engine
parts,
fuel
and
other
supplies,
and
fabrication
of
test
tools
and
fixtures.
Direct
labor
costs
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
combine
for
the
total
test
costs
described
above.

(
iii)
Capital/
Start­
up
Costs
Companies
required
to
conduct
testing
generally
either
have
testing
facilities
or
are
expected
to
conduct
testing
at
a
contractor's
laboratory.
Thus,
no
capital
or
startup
costs
are
anticipated
for
purchasing
emission
testing
equipment.

(
iv)
Annualizing
Capital
Costs
With
no
estimated
capital
or
start­
up
costs,
there
is
no
need
to
annualize
these
costs.

6
(

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
Our
Engine
Programs
Compliance
Group
administers
emission
certification
programs.
This
group
has
approximately
17
full­
time
employees.
We
project
50
hours
per
week
of
staff
time
(
at
$
40
per
hour,
loaded)
to
manage
engine
compliance
programs
related
to
new
emission
standards.
This
comes
to
approximately
2,500
hours
or
$
100,000
per
year
to
oversee
the
requirements
of
the
final
rule.

Estimating
the

shows
the
labor
and
other
costs
associated
with
meeting
the
new
requirements
for
each
engine
family.
This
includes
certification
costs,
plus
the
cost
of
any
additional
testing.
Per­
family
costs
are
multiplied
by
the
number
of
engine
families
and
added
to
estimated
capital
costs
to
arrive
at
an
