Title: Exclusion Determinations for New Non-road Spark-Ignited
Engines, New Non-road Compression-Ignited Engines and New On-Road Heavy
Duty Engines (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1852.04, OMB Control No. 2060-0395.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2009.
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, and 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: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (Act), the
Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air
pollutant emissions from ``motor vehicles'' and ``non-road engines,''
as defined in the Act. Motor vehicles and non-road engines not meeting
the applicable definitions are excluded from compliance with current
regulations.
A manufacturer may make an exclusion determination by itself;
however, manufacturers and importers may routinely request EPA to make
such determination to ensure that their determination does not differ
from the Agency's. To request an exclusion determination, manufacturers
submit a letter with a description of the engine and/or vehicle (engine
type, horsepower rating, intended usage etc.) and sales brochures to
EPA. EPA uses this information to determine whether the engine or
vehicle is excluded from compliance with one or more emission
regulations. EPA then stores the data in its internal files, and makes
it available to environmental groups and the public upon request under
the Freedom of Information Act.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 6
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;
[[Page 8252]]
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: Light Truck and Utility Vehicle
Manufacturers; Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturers; Gasoline Engine and
Engine Parts Manufacturers; Construction Machinery Manufacturers;
Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery
Manufacturers; Marine Engine Manufacturers; Other Engine Equipment
Manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 12.
Frequency of Response: Annual and On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 69.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $6,254, which includes $116 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
Dated: February 18, 2009.
