SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov
or in person at the EPA Docket Center,
WJC West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave. NW., Washington,
DC. The telephone number for the
Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For
additional information about EPA’s
public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/
dockets.
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: For this ICR, EPA is seeking
a revision to an existing package with a
three year extension. Under ICR
2394.03, EPA collects information
regarding Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Standards and Fuel Efficiency
Standards for Medium- and Heavy-Duty
Engines and Vehicles.
Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7521 et seq.), EPA is charged
with issuing certificates of conformity
for motor vehicle designs and engines
that comply with applicable emission

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 232001

standards set under section 202(a)(1) of
the Act, such as those for CO2, N2O,
and CH4 in the final regulation. This
authority was clarified in the Supreme
Court’s decision State of Massachusetts
v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007) (holding
that greenhouse gases are pollutants
under the Clean Air Act). Under the
statutory authority of 49 U.S.C. 32902,
NHTSA is mandated to require
manufacturers comply with fuel
economy and consumption standards.
The manufacturers regulated under
this program must: (1) Submit
applications to certify vehicles; (2)
submit reports with early estimates to
demonstrate their compliance plans; (3)
conduct compliance testing; (4) label
certified vehicles; (5) provide final yearend-reports with compliance test
results; and (6) retain records of
information submitted to the agencies.
A manufacturer must send an
application for a certificate of
conformity and gain approval by EPA
before it can legally introduce any
vehicle or engine into commerce in the
U.S. To ensure compliance with the
CAA and EISA, EPA and NHTSA will
annually review a manufacturer’s
submitted information and compliance
test results. Manufacturer test results
will be used by EPA to perform
confirmatory testing on a sufficient
number of engines and vehicles to
confirm manufacturer-reported results.
Limited equipment testing and
modeling runs will also be performed by
NHTSA to confirm manufacturer test
results.
EPA’s emission certification programs
and NHTSA’s fuel efficiency programs
are statutorily mandated. EPA does not
have discretion to cease these functions.
Specifically, under Section 206(a) of the
CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521).
EPA and NHTSA also are establishing
an Average, Banking and Trading (ABT)
program, as outlined in 40 CFR
1036.701 and 1037.701, and in 49 CFR
535.7. Engine and vehicle
manufacturers covered by this HD
National Program have an option to
participate in this ABT program. The
agencies’ ABT programs, and others like
it, are designed to enhance compliance
flexibility and reduce the burden on
affected manufacturers, without
compromising the expected emissions
benefits derived from EPA’s emissions
standards and NHTSA’s fuel
consumption standards.
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. DECC uses this
information to ensure that

manufacturers are in compliance with
applicable regulations and the CAA.
The information may also be used by
EPA’s Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance and the
Department of Justice for enforcement
purposes. Most of the information is
collected in electronic format and stored
in CD’s databases.
Manufacturers are allowed to assert a
claim of confidentiality over
information provided to EPA.
Confidentiality is granted in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act
and EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2.
Non-confidential information may be
disclosed on OTAQ’s Web site or upon
request under the Freedom of
Information Act to trade associations,
environmental groups, and the public.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
manufacturers of Medium- and HeavyDuty Engines and Vehicles; owners of
heavy-duty truck fleets.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Engine manufacturers must respond to
this collection if they wish to sell their
products in the US, as prescribed by
Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C.
7521). Participation in ABT is
voluntary, but once a manufacturer has
elected to participate, it must submit the
required notifications and annual
reports (40 CFR 1036.730 and 1037.730).
If applicable to a particular engine
family, compliance programs reporting
is mandatory.
Estimated number of respondents: 34
(total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly,
Annually, On Occasion, depending on
the type of response.
Total estimated burden: 41,305 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,565,145 (per
year), includes $1,458,333 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change of hours in the total estimated
burden for ICR 2394.03 from the burden
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
Dated: August 27, 2014.

Director, Compliance Division, Office of
Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air
and Radiation.
