2See section 6(d) for details. Frequency refers to the number of times a respondent performs each task per year. In most instances, this is tied to the number of certification applications in each category, except when in one-time tasks or tasks that apply all applicactions, such as reviewing regulations.
















3Some manufacturers, usually large companies with many engine families, invest in in-house testing laboratories for compliance testing as well as research & development.
















4 Some manufacturers, usually smaller companies, hire outside laboratories for testing.
















5Carry over applications are generally a copy of the previous year application except for the first letter of the engine family name. The submittal of certification applications is already accounted for in the certification ICR.

(1) Includes phone calls to procure locomotives, testing and the expense of stopping a locomotive for testing, among others expenses, annualized. See section 6(b)(iii) for details.











(2) Manufacturers must test one engine family per year. For new engine families, a minimum of two locomotives must be tested (but only one per carry-over family).











Engine families of less than 10 locomotives need not be tested. Sixteen of 30 new families have over 10 locomotives.











(3) Lab maintenance costs are not included here because they were accounted for in the certification burden table (Table 1).
