Abstract: Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA) charges 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. 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. There are also recordkeeping requirements. The Act also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass produced engines. This is accomplished under the Production Line Testing (PLT). Selective Enforcement Audits provide verification that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations. Manufacturers must also keep records.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase of 21,741 hours in the total estimated burden for ICR 2345.03 from the burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to better accounting and an adjustment of estimates, not a change in the program. The primary reason for the change is that the hour burden in the previous ICR did not account for an annual records audit that vessel owners have to perform and the annual report they have to submit (first rows of table 5 in the Excel file). The previous ICR only accounted for owner and rebuilder's recordkeeping requirements (see table 6 on 2345.02). There are 187 respondents that are suppose to prepare that report; so even though the burden is only 99 hours per respondent, the total comes out high (at 18,813 hours). Second, regarding the burden to engine manufacturers, this ICR accounts for PLT testing and reporting (5,276 hours - see table 3) and SEAs (table 4), which was not done in the previous ICR. The previous ICR only accounts for certification (table 5 on 2345.02 vs table 2 in 2345.03).
