Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for Importation of
Nonroad Engines and Recreational Vehicles (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1723.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0320.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2008. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: Individuals and businesses importing on and off-road
motor vehicles, motor vehicle engines, or nonroad engines, including
nonroad engines incorporated into nonroad equipment or nonroad
vehicles, report and keep records of vehicle and engine importations,
request prior approval for vehicle and engine importations, or request
final admission for vehicles and engines conditionally imported into
the U.S. The collection of this information is mandatory in order to
ensure compliance of nonroad vehicles and engines with Federal
emissions requirements. Joint EPA and Customs regulations at 40 CFR
89.601 et seq., 90.601 et seq., 91.703 et seq., 92.803 et seq., 94.803
et seq., 1068.301 et seq., and 19 CFR 12.73 and 12.74 promulgated under
the authority of Clean Air Act Sections 203 and 208 give authority for
the collection of information. This authority was extended to nonroad
engines and vehicles under section 213. The information is used by
program personnel to help ensure that all Federal emission requirements
concerning imported motor vehicles and nonroad engines are met.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Individual importers and companies
who import, or import and manufacture, nonroad engines and recreational
vehicles.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,801.
Frequency of Response: Upon importation.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,029.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $372,541, which includes $36,002
annualized capital and O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 80,107 hours in
the total estimated burden. This decrease is due to a more accurate
estimate of the number of import declaration forms (Form 3520-1)
received. The burden for nonroad CI use (Form 3520-8) has been reduced
to a placeholder, as this program is not currently in use.
Dated: March 13, 2008.
