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);

If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
