HQ–OAR–2007–0904, which is
available for online viewing at https://
www.regulations.gov, or in person
viewing at the Air Docket in the EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West,

Title: Emissions Certification and
Compliance Requirements for Marine
Spark-ignition Engines (Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1722.05,
OMB Control No. 2060–0321.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on January 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
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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: Under Title II of the Clean
Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA),
EPA is charged with issuing certificates
of conformity for certain spark-ignition
(SI) engines used to propel marine
vessels that comply with applicable
emission standards. Such a certificate
must be issued before engines may be
legally introduced into commerce. To
apply for a certificate of conformity,
manufacturers are required to submit
descriptions of their planned
production line, including descriptions
of the emission control system, and
engine emission test data. This
information is organized by ‘‘engine
family.’’ An engine family is a group of
engines expected to have similar
emission characteristics. There are also
record-keeping requirements. Under the
regulations governing marine SI
engines, manufacturers must use the
Averaging, Banking, and Trading
Program (ABT) and must submit
information regarding the calculation,
actual generation, and usage of emission
credits in a certification application, an
end-of-the-year report, and final report.
These reports are used for certification
and enforcement purposes. The Act also
mandates EPA to verify that
manufacturers have successfully
translated their certified prototype
engines into mass produced engines,
and that these engines comply with
emission standards throughout their
useful lives. Under the Production-Line
Testing (PLT) Program, manufacturers
are required to test a sample of engines
as they leave the assembly line. This
self-audit program increases efficiency
and reduces the cost of correcting
misbuilds and other errors made in the
assembly line. Under the In-use Testing
Program (In-use), manufacturers are
required to test engines after a number
of years of use to verify that they
comply with emission standards
throughout their useful lives.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 154 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
E:\FR\FM\23JAN1.SGM
23JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 15 / Wednesday, January 23, 2008 / Notices
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:
Entities potentially affected by these
actions are manufacturers of marine
spark-ignition engines.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12.
Frequency of Response: Annual,
quarterly, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
26,546.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,608,844, includes $219,223
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 13,747 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to an
adjustment in the total estimated
number of responses. Under the
previous ICR, manufacturers could
request a waiver from most compliance
requirements (PLT, In-use, etc.) for
engine families with technology that
was already in existence as of 1997 if
they agreed to completely phase these
families out by 2005. Since the phase
out date already passed, manufacturers
are no longer producing those engine
families.
