30-day FR Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 26, 2013 / Notices
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in the total estimated burden as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is not due to any program
changes. The increases in burden,
including labor hours, labor costs, and
O&M costs reflect an increase in the
number of respondents. The new
number of respondents accounts for the
one new source that is subject to the
rule since the last ICR period. In
addition, this ICR uses updated labor
rates to calculate burden costs, which
results in an increase in labor costs for
both the respondents and the Agency.

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 also

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-theyear 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 CAA 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
(PLT) Program, manufacturers are
required to test a sample of engines as
they leave the assembly line. This selfaudit 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. In-use 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.
Confidential business information
(CBI) is kept confidential in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act,
EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, and
class determinations issued by EPA’s
Office of General Counsel. Nonproprietary information submitted by
manufacturers is held as confidential
until the specific locomotive or
locomotive engine to which it pertains
is available for purchase.

Subpart C). PLT/Installation Audit
reporting is mandatory (Section
206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR Part 1033,

adjustment to the estimates (an increase
on the number of respondents).
