In accordance
with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for one
year with the following additional terms of clearance. Prior to the
resubmission of the collection, (1) EPA will review information
obtained through an on-going International Trade Data System (ITDS)
pilot program and the Cargo Time Release Study regarding the
utility of continuing this information collection and any potential
burden reducing initiatives that may be undertaken to streamline
these requirements. (2) In addition, the agency will review the
current burden estimates associated with the information collection
to accurately assess the burden estimate including the number of
respondents, burden hours, and costs associated with the
collection. The burden estimate should take into account the time
and cost expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency
consistent with 1320.3(b)(1).

This ICR covers the burden associated
with EPA Form 3520-21, a declaration form for importers of nonroad
vehicles or engines into the United States, which identifies the
regulated category of engine or vehicle and the regulatory
provisions under which the importation is taking place. In
addition, this ICR covers the possible burden of EPA Form 3520-8 if
it comes to be used to request final importation clearance for
Independent Commercial Importers of nonroad Compression Ignition
engines, who would have to bring the engines into compliance and
provide test results, comparable to the use of Form 3520-8 for
on-road vehicles and engines as covered by OMB 2060-0095. The
information is used by Agency enforcement personnel to verify that
all nonroad vehicles and engines subject to Federal emission
requirements have been declared upon entry or that the category of
exclusion or exemption from emissions requirements has been
identified in the declaration. The information is also used to
identify and prosecute violators of the regulations and to monitor
the program in achieving the objectives of the regulations. The
Forms are required before making customs entry; see 19 CFR 12.73
and 12.74.
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);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
