Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 58 / Thursday, March 26, 2015 / Notices monitoring plan. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinations. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Secondary lead smelters. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart X). Estimated number of respondents: 14 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 13,038 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,651,633 (per year), includes $375,200 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 7,499 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. In this ICR renewal, we have made adjustments to reflect current rule requirements and remove duplicate items contained in previous ICRs. In addition, this ICR renewal reflects a decrease in the number of respondents from 16 to 14 due to facility closures. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Abstract: EPA has an ongoing program to evaluate the emission performance of in-use light-duty (passenger car and light truck) motor vehicles through surveillance and compliance testing, as well as special investigations in compliance with the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7541). This ICR involves light-duty surveys and vehicle testing, which is strictly voluntary. A group of 25 to 50 potential participants is identified from state vehicle registration records. Three of the respondent pool are asked survey questions concerning vehicle condition, operation and maintenance. Additional groups of potential participants may be contacted until a sufficient number of vehicles have been obtained. Owners verify the survey information when they deliver their vehicles to EPA, release the vehicle to EPA, voluntarily provide maintenance records for copying, receive a cash incentive and, if requested, a loaner car, then receive the vehicle from EPA at the conclusion of the testing. Form Numbers: 5900–304, 5900–305, 5900–306, 5900–307, 5900–308, 5900– 309. Respondents/affected entities: Vehicle owners. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.
