In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.11, OMB is not approving this ICR at this time.
However, OMB notes that the agency has not properly completed this
ICR request. Submissions associated with proposed rules must report
the expected change in burden due to the proposed rule as part of
the reported burden in ROCIS. This ICR reports only a change in the
number of responses, but no change in burden. The supporting
statement does not provide enough information to understand the
derivation of the agency's reported burden estimates. For example,
there is one IC with a total cost burden of $1.3M, but the
supporting statement suggests that the burden of the ICR should be
$1.7M.

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. In the rulemaking we require
manufacturers to generate or retain information to demonstrate that
engines comply with emission standards. Manufacturers generally
send us the data they collect 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. Information such as
engine family, total numbers of engines built, and emission rates
for specific pollutants, are examples of what we require. This ICR
is a revision to the existing information collection approved under
OMB control number 2060-0392. The revisions generally include new
standards, testing, and reporting requirements for nonroad diesel
engines.
We are proposing emission
standards for locomotives and locomotive engines. This information
collection request updates the estimated burden to reflect the
additional effort required to meet the new standards and
consolidates all the various recordkeeping and reporting items for
these engines.
