Engine manufacturers must obtain a certificate of compliance with applicable emission standards before the start of production. Manufacturers are required to submit a description of the engine families and emission test data to demonstrate compliance. The Averaging, Trading and Banking program allows manufacturers to earn emission credits on cleaner engine families and use them later to certify engine families with emission levels above the standards. Respondents are also required to conduct quality control audits (PLT) and in-use testing and are subject to be audited by EPA (SEAs).
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 benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
