    Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Importation of 
Nonroad Engines and Recreational Vehicles (Renewal)
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1723.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0320.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if

applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Individuals and businesses importing on and off-road 
motor vehicles, motor vehicle engines, or nonroad engines, including 
nonroad engines incorporated into nonroad equipment or nonroad 
vehicles, report and keep records of vehicle and engine importations, 
request prior approval for vehicle and engine importations, or request 
final admission for vehicles and engines conditionally imported into 
the U.S. The collection of this information is mandatory in order to 
ensure compliance of nonroad vehicles and engines with Federal 
emissions requirements. Joint EPA and Customs regulations at 40 CFR 
85.1501 et seq., 89.601 et seq., 90.601 et seq., 91.703 et seq., 92.803 
et seq., 94.803 et seq., 1068.301 et seq., and 19 CFR 12.73 and 12.74 
promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act Sections 203 and 208 
give authority for the collection of information. This authority was 
extended to nonroad engines and vehicles under section 213. The 
information is used by program personnel to help ensure that all 
Federal emission requirements concerning imported motor vehicles and 
nonroad engines are met. Any information submitted to the Agency for 
which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according 
to policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2.201 et seq.). The 
public is not permitted access to information containing personal or 
organizational identifiers.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Individual importers and companies 
who import, or import and manufacture, nonroad engines and recreational 
vehicles.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,801.
    Frequency of Response: Once per entry. (One form per shipment may 
be used.) .
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,029.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $299,481. This includes an estimated 
burden cost of $261,479 and an estimated cost of $38,002 for capital 
investment or maintenance and operational costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the number of 
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that 
identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. Form 3520-21 has 
remained relatively unchanged since the previous renewal and therefore 
the burden for filling in the form remains unchanged.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
