This collection
is approved for three years. Prior to resubmitting this collection
to OMB for approval, EPA should be careful to re-evaluate the
number of vehicle air conditioners likely to be retrofitted during
the requested approval period for that ICR. At that time, EPA
should also ensure that the collection uses applicable and properly
loaded wage rates to estimate the labor costs associated with the
collection.

The purpose of this Information
Collection Request (ICR) is to estimate the burden associated with
the 40 CFR Part 82 require- ment that service technicians label
mobile air conditioners with information about new refrigerants
when they retrofit a system. The label will alert service
technicians and car owners that the car has been retrofitted to use
non-CFC refrigerant. The label will provide essential information
to technicians about the specific refrigerant used in the air
conditioning system. The information will assist the technician in
avoiding service prac- tices that might result in
cross-contamination and system failure
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
