Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 223 / Monday, November 19, 2012 / Notices
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: Title II of the Clean Air Act,
(42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), charges
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) with issuing certificates of
conformity for those engines that
comply with applicable emission
standards. Such a certificate must be
issued before engines may be legally
introduced into commerce. Under this
ICR, EPA collects information necessary
to (1) issue certificates of compliance
with emission statements, and (2) verify
compliance with various programs and
regulatory provisions pertaining to
locomotives, locomotive engines, and
locomotive remanufacturing kits
(collectively referred to here as
‘‘engines’’ for simplicity). To apply for
a certificate of conformity,
manufacturers are required to submit
descriptions of their planned
production engines, including detailed
descriptions of emission control systems
and test data. This information is
organized by ‘‘engine family’’ groups
expected to have similar emission
characteristics. There are recordkeeping
requirements. Those manufacturers
electing to participate in the Averaging,
Banking and Trading (AB&T) Program
are also required to submit information
regarding the calculation, actual
generation and usage of credits in an
initial report, end-of-the-year report and
final report. These reports are used for
certification and enforcement purposes.

Manufacturers must maintain records
for eight years on the engine families
included in the AB&T Program.
The Act also mandates EPA to verify
that manufacturers have successfully
translated their certified prototypes into
mass produced engines, and that these
engines comply with emission
standards throughout their useful lives.
Under the Production Line Testing
Program (‘‘PLT Program’’),
manufacturers are required to test a
sample of engines as they leave the
assembly line. This self-audit program
allows manufacturers to monitor
compliance with statistical certainty
and minimize the cost of correcting
errors through early detection. A similar
audit program exists for the installation
of locomotive remanufacturing kits. Inuse testing allows manufacturers and
EPA to verify compliance with emission
standards throughout the locomotive’s
useful life. Through Selected
Enforcement Audits, (SEAs), EPA
verifies that test data submitted by
engine manufacturers is reliable and
testing is performed according to EPA
regulations.
The information requested is
collected by the Diesel Engine
Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance
Division (CD), Office of Transportation
and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation, EPA. Besides DECC and CD,
this information could be used by the
Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance and the Department of Justice
for enforcement purposes. Nonconfidential business information
submitted by respondents to this
information collection may be disclosed
over the Internet. That information is
used by trade associations,
environmental groups, and the public.
Under this ICR, most of the information
is collected in electronic format and
stored in CD’s databases.
Form Numbers: 5900–125 (ABT
template); 5900–135 (PLT/Installation
Audit template), 5900–90 (Annual
Production Report template)
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents are manufacturers of
nonroad equipment and engines within
the following North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) codes:
333618 (Other Engine Equipment
Manufacturing), 336510 (Railroad
Rolling Stock manufacturing), and
482111 (Line-haul Railroads).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Manufacturers must respond to this
collection if they wish to sell their
locomotives, locomotive engines and
locomotive remanufacturing kits in the
US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of
the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR
Part 1033. Certification reporting is

mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42
U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR Part 1033,
Subpart C). PLT/Installation Audit
reporting is mandatory (Section
206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR Part 1033,
Subpart D). Participation in ABT is
voluntary, but once a manufacturer has
elected to participate, it must submit the
required information (40 CFR Part 1033,
Subpart H). In-Use reporting is
mandatory (40 CFR Part 1033, Subpart
F).
Estimated number of respondents: 10
(total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly,
Annually, On Occasion, depending on
the program.
Total estimated burden: 21,129 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: Estimated total
annual costs: $2,349,724 (per year),
includes an estimated $1,365,299
annualized capital or maintenance and
operational costs.
Changes in Estimates: To date, 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.
However, EPA is evaluating information
that may lead to a change in the
estimates. After EPA has evaluated this
information, estimates may rise due to
an increase in the number of
respondents.
