Frequency of response: Variable depending on type of information collected (once every three years; annually; on occasion or as necessary; or, only once). Total estimated burden: From 376,097 to 514,987 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: From $17,103,064 to $23,173,945 of labor costs per year, and $263,520 of operations and maintenance costs per year. There are no annualized capital costs. Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 226,040 hours in the total upper estimates of respondent burden compared with the combined burden of the three ICRs currently approved by OMB and consolidated in this ICR. This decrease reflects adjustments made to the EPA’s burden estimates based on experience gained since the previous ICRs were approved. Dated: June 6, 2018. Deborah G. Nagle, Acting Director, Office of Science and Technology.

ACTION: Notice. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an information collection request (ICR), ‘‘Fuel Use Requirements for Great Lakes Steamships’’ (EPA ICR No. 2458.03, OMB Control No. 2060–0679) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:11 Jun 14, 2018 Jkt 244001 accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through August 31, 2018. 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. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 14, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alan Stout, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Environmental Protection Agency, 2565 Plymouth Road, Ann Arbor, MI 48105; 734–214–4805; stout.alan@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents explaining in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 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. Abstract: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adopted requirements for marine vessels operating in and around U.S. territorial waters to use reduced-sulfur diesel fuel. This requirement does not apply for steamships, but it would apply for steamships that are converted to run on diesel engines. A regulatory provision allows vessel owners to qualify for a waiver from the fuel-use requirements for a defined period for such converted vessels. One condition of the exemption from the fuel standard is that engines meet current emission standards. EPA uses the data to oversee compliance with regulatory requirements, including communicating with affected companies and answering questions from the public or other industry participants regarding the waiver in question. Since the IMO Tier III NOX standards apply for Category 3 engines installed on U.S. vessels, we don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: 0. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain a benefit (40 CFR 1043.95). Estimated number of respondents: 0. Frequency of response: One time for a new notification. Total estimated burden: 0 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $0. Changes in Estimates: The burden estimate decreases from the current estimate of 14 hours per year in the total estimated respondent burden currently approved by OMB. Since the IMO Tier III NOX standards apply for Category 3 engines installed on U.S. vessels, we don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption. Dated: June 4, 2018. William J. Charmley, Director, Assessment and Standards Division. [FR Doc. 2018–12912 Filed 6–14–18; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P E:\FR\FM\15JNN1.SGM 15JNN1
