Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific examples. VerDate Mar<15>2010 13:41 Apr 29, 2010 Jkt 220001 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified under DATES. 7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to? Docket ID No.: EPA–HQ–OAR–2006– 0895. Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are manufacturers of on-highway heavy-duty engines, nonroad compression-ignition engines, spark-ignition engines, spark-ignition equipment components, marine engines, locomotives and locomotive engines. Title: Engine Emission Defect Information Reports and Voluntary Emission Recall Reports (Renewal). ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0282.15, OMB Control No. 2060–0048. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. 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: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air pollutant emissions from motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as defined in the CAA. Per Sections 207(d)(1) and 213 of the CAA, when a substantial number of properly maintained and used engines produced by a manufacturer do not conform to emission standards, the manufacturer is required to recall the engines. Engine manufacturers are required to submit Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if emission-related defects are found on PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22777 engines of the same model year that may cause the engines’ emissions to exceed the standards. EPA uses these reports to target potentially nonconforming classes of engines for future testing, to monitor compliance with applicable regulations and to order a recall, if necessary. Manufacturers can also initiate a recall voluntarily by submitting a Voluntary Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs and VERR updates allow EPA to determine whether the manufacturer conducting the recall is acting in accordance with the CAA and to examine and monitor the effectiveness of the recall campaign. The information is collected by the Heavy-Duty and Nonroad Engines Group (HDNEG), Compliance and Innovative Strategies Division (CISD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ), Office of Air and Radiation (OAR). Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 20 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 75. Frequency of response: DIRs and VERRs are submitted on occasion, whereas VERR updates are submitted quarterly by some respondents. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: Varies as needed. Estimated total annual burden hours: 19,877. Estimated total annual costs: $1,423,652. This includes an estimated cost of $1,859 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. E:\FR\FM\30APN1.SGM 30APN1 22778 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 83 / Friday, April 30, 2010 / Notices Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? To date, there are no changes in the number of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. However, estimates may change based on comments received from the public. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: April 23, 2010.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Docket ID No.: EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0895.
    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
manufacturers of on-highway heavy-duty engines, nonroad compression-
ignition engines, spark-ignition engines, spark-ignition equipment 
components, marine engines, locomotives and locomotive engines.
    Title: Engine Emission Defect Information Reports and Voluntary 
Emission Recall Reports (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0282.15, OMB Control No. 2060-0048.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 
2010. 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: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA), the 
Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air 
pollutant emissions from motor vehicles and nonroad engines, as defined 
in the CAA. Per Sections 207(d)(1) and 213 of the CAA, when a 
substantial number of properly maintained and used engines produced by 
a manufacturer do not conform to emission standards, the manufacturer 
is required to recall the engines. Engine manufacturers are required to 
submit Defect Information Reports (DIRs) if emission-related defects 
are found on engines of the same model year that may cause the engines' 
emissions to exceed the standards. EPA uses these reports to target 
potentially nonconforming classes of engines for future testing, to 
monitor compliance with applicable regulations and to order a recall, 
if necessary. Manufacturers can also initiate a recall voluntarily by 
submitting a Voluntary Emission Recall Report (VERR). VERRs and VERR 
updates allow EPA to determine whether the manufacturer conducting the 
recall is acting in accordance with the CAA and to examine and monitor 
the effectiveness of the recall campaign. The information is collected

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    To date, there are no changes in the number of hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR 
currently approved by OMB. However, estimates may change based on 
comments received from the public.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as 
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for 
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will 
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the 
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any 
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the 
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
