SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents which explain in
detail the information that the EPA will
be collecting are available in the public
docket for this ICR. The docket can be
viewed online at www.regulations.gov

DC. The telephone number for the
Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For
additional information about EPA’s
public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/
dockets.
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting 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. 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. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.

Requirements for Importation of
Nonconforming Vehicles (Renewal);
EPA ICR No. 0010.13, OMB Control No.
2060–0095
Abstract: Importers into the U.S. of
light duty vehicles, light duty trucks,
and on-road motorcycles, or the
corresponding engines, are required to
report and keep records regarding the
imports. The collection of this
information is mandatory to insure
compliance with Federal emissions
requirements. Joint EPA and U.S.
Customs Service regulations at 40 CFR
85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 1273, and 19
CFR 1774, promulgated under the
authority of Clean Air Act sections 203
and 208, give authority for the
collection of this information. The
information is used by program
personnel to ensure that all Federal
emissions requirements are met, and by
State regulatory agencies, businesses,
and individuals to verify whether
vehicles are in compliance. Any
information submitted to the Agency for
which a claim of confidentiality is made
is safeguarded according to policies set
forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information (see 40 CFR part 2), and the
public is not permitted access to
information containing personal or
organizational identifiers.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 3520–1
EPA Form 3520–8.
Respondents/affected entities:
Importers (including Independent
Commercial Importers) into the U.S. of
light duty vehicles, light duty trucks,
and on-road motorcycles, or the
corresponding engines.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40
CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73, and
19 CFR 12.74).
Estimated number of respondents:
10,000 (total).
Frequency of response: Occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 8040 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b)
Total estimated cost: $141,493 (per
year), which includes $42,523
annualized capital and operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 152 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease
in the number of vehicles imported
under the ‘‘mod and test’’ and
Independent Commercial Importer
programs.

Evaporative Emissions From New and
In-Use Portable Gasoline Containers
(Renewal), ICR 2213.04, OMB 2060–
0597
Abstract: EPA is required under
Section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to
regulate Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) emissions from the use of
consumer and commercial products.
Under regulations promulgated on
February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428)
manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers are required to obtain
certificates of conformity with the Clean
Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This
ICR covers the burdens associated with
this certification process. EPA reviews
information submitted in the
application for certification to
determine if the container design
conforms to applicable requirements
and to verify that the required testing
has been performed. The certificate
holder is required to keep records on the
testing and collect and keep warranty
and defect information for annual
reporting on in-use performance of their
products. The respondent must also
retain records on the units produced,
apply serial numbers to individual
containers, and track the serial numbers
to their certificates of conformity. Any
information submitted for which a claim
of confidentiality is made is safeguarded
according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR
2.201 et seq.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers of new portable gasoline
containers from 0.25 to 10.0 gallons in
capacity.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory 40 CFR part 59, subpart F.
Estimated number of respondents: 8
(total).
Frequency of response: Yearly for
warranty reports; at least once every five
years for certificate renewals.
Total estimated burden: 179 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $23,170 (per
year), includes $12,552 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is a
decrease of 33.8 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to minor
adjustments detailed in the draft
Supporting Statement, which is
included in this docket.

EPA–HQ–OAR–2013–0019, Motor
Vehicle and Engine Compliance
Program Fees (Renewal), EPA ICR
2080.05, OMB Control No. 2060–0545
Abstract: As required by the Clean Air
Act, EPA has regulations establishing
emission standards and other
requirements for various classes of
vehicles, engines, and evaporative
emissions. These regulations require
that compliance be demonstrated prior
to EPA granting a ‘‘Certificate of
Conformity’’. EPA charges fees for
administering this certification program.
In 2004 the fees program was expanded
to include non-road categories of
vehicles and engines, such as several
categories of marine engines,
locomotives, non-road recreational
vehicles, and many non-road
compression-ignition and spark-ignition
engines. In 2008 the fees program was
further expanded to include fees for
certification of evaporative system
components (primarily fuel lines and
fuel tanks). Manufacturers and
importers of covered vehicles, engines
and components are required to pay the
applicable certification fees prior to
their certification applications being
reviewed. Under section 208 of the
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c)) all
information, other than trade secret
processes or methods, must be publicly
available. Information about fee
payments is treated as confidential
information prior to certification.
Form Numbers: EPA Forms 3520–29.
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers or importers of passenger
cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy
duty truck engines, non-road vehicles or
engines, and evaporative emissions
components required to receive a
certificate of conformity from EPA prior
to selling or introducing these products
into commerce in the U.S.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit (40
CFR Part 1027).
Estimated number of respondents:
583.
Frequency of response: Yearly and
occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 1513 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $112,873 (per
year), which includes $24,673
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is
increase of 306 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to an
adjustment of the estimate entirely due
to the increased number of fee forms
