Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 68 / Monday, April 11, 2005 / Notices
In order for technicians to service or
maintain MVACs, they must pass a
certification test as stipulated in Section
609 of the Act. In the interest of
providing national harmony in
promoting technician awareness in the
proper handling of refrigerant, the
Agency is charged through Section 609
with the establishment of minimum
national standards for technician
certification. The SPD uses the
information submitted by technician
certification programs to determine if
programs meet the standards established
by the Agency. In addition, the SPD
uses the information to insure that the
programs are at least as stringent as the
SAE J standards of the Society of
Automotive Engineers.
The information requested for all
entities that service MVACs is required
by Section 609(d) of the Act with regard
to the following:
(1) Technician certification programs:
Proposed automotive technician
certification programs are required to be
approved by EPA in accordance with
Section 609(b)(4);
(2) Business certification
requirements: Section 609(b)(2)(A)
requires EPA approval of independent
laboratories that certify equipment for
the extraction and reclamation of
refrigerant from MVACs;
(3) Manufacturers’ certification of
recovery equipment: The submission of
data for EPA determination of
substantially identical equipment is
addressed by Section 609(b)(2)(B)
(substantially identical equipment is
equipment certified before the proposal
of regulations under Section 609 that is
substantially identical to equipment
currently meeting EPA’s standards);
(4) Recordkeeping requirements: The
recordkeeping requirements for the
motor vehicle recycling program are
derived from Section 114 of the Act.
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 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
EPA would like to solicit comments
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.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average eight (8) minutes
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; 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: New
and used motor vehicle dealers, gasoline
service stations, truck rental and leasing
without drivers, passenger car rental,
top, body, upholstery repair and paint
shops, general automotive repair shops
and automotive repair shops not
elsewhere classified.
Estimated number of respondents:
24,012.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
6,882.
Estimated Total Annualized Cost:
$129,631.
