Abstract: The Diesel Emissions Reduction Act program (DERA) is authorized by Title VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58), as amended by the Diesel Emissions Reduction Act of 2010 (Pub. L. 111– 364), codified at 42 U.S.C. 16131 et seq. DERA provides the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with the authority to award grants, rebates or low-cost revolving loans on a competitive basis to eligible entities to fund the costs of projects that significantly reduce diesel emissions from mobile sources through implementation of a certified engine configuration, verified technology, or emerging technology. Eligible mobile sources include buses (including school buses), medium heavy-duty or heavy heavy-duty diesel trucks, marine engines, locomotives, or nonroad engines or diesel vehicles or equipment used in construction, handling of cargo (including at ports or airports), agriculture, mining, or energy production. In addition, eligible entities may also use funds awarded for programs or projects to reduce longduration idling using verified technology involving a vehicle or equipment described above. The objective of the assistance under this program is to achieve significant reductions in diesel emissions in terms of tons of pollution produced and reductions in diesel emissions exposure, particularly from fleets operating in areas designated by the Administrator as poor air quality areas. EPA uses approved procedures and forms to collect necessary information to operate its grant and rebate programs as authorized by Congress under the DERA program. EPA collects information from applicants to the DERA rebate program. Information collected is used to ensure eligibility of VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Oct 29, 2015 Jkt 238001 applicants and engines to receive funds under DERA, and to calculate estimated and actual emissions benefits that result from activities funded with rebates as required in DERA’s authorizing legislation. Form Numbers: 2060–0686. Respondents/affected entities: Entities interested in applying for a rebate under EPA’s Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) Rebate Program and include but are not limited to the following NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes: 23 Construction; 482 Rail Transportation; 483 Water Transportation; 484 Truck Transportation; 485 Transit and Ground Passenger Transportation; 48831 Port and Harbor Operations; 61111 Elementary and Secondary Schools; 61131 Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools; 9211 Executive, Legislative, and Other Government Support; and 9221 Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 500–1,000 (total). Frequency of response: Voluntary as needed. Total estimated burden: 2,827 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $100,592.58 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,933 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to a higher level of interest in the rebate program than originally anticipated. The revised burden of 2,827 hours reflects an updated estimate of 771 applicants (respondents) and is based on the number of applications submitted under previous rebate funding opportunities. In the ICR currently approved by OMB, EPA estimated an annual burden of 894 hours for 120 applicants. EPA received over 1,000 applications for the 2012 pilot program and over 500 applications for the 2014 funding opportunity. Courtney Kerwin, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
