Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 140 / Friday, July 20, 2018 / Notices
Conditioners (MVACs) retrofitted to use
a SNAP substitute refrigerant include
basic information on a label to be
affixed to the air conditioner. The label
includes the name of the substitute
refrigerant, when and by whom the
retrofit was performed, environmental
and safety information about the
substitute refrigerant, and other
information. This information is needed
so that subsequent technicians working
on the MVAC system will be able to
service the equipment properly,
decreasing the likelihood of significant
refrigerant cross-contamination and
potential failure of air conditioning
systems and recovery/recycling
equipment.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: New
and used car dealers, gas service
stations, top and body repair shops,
general automotive repair shops,
automotive repair shops not elsewhere
classified, including air conditioning
and radiator specialty shops.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under 40 CFR 82.180.
Estimated number of respondents: 13
(total).
Frequency of response: Once per
retrofit of a motor vehicle air
conditioner.
Total estimated burden: 1 hour (per
year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $15 (per year),
includes $1 (per year) annualized
capital or operation and maintenance
costs.
Changes in estimates: There is a
decrease of 8 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB (per year). This decrease is based
on the decline of MVACs in service
today using chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs),
specifically CFC–12. After 1994, new
cars in the U.S. were no longer
manufactured with CFC–12 MVACs.
The number of MVACs originally
designed to use CFC–12 as well as the
number of those retrofitted has been
decreasing every year and EPA
estimates a continued reduction in the
number of CFC–12 MVAC retrofits will
occur during the next three years. EPA
estimates that in 2017 there were 18,000
MVACs originally designed to use CFC–
12 operating in the U.S., and estimates
that in 2018, 2019 and 2020 the number
of cars originally designed to use CFC–
12 will decrease to 8,200, 3,500 and
1,500, respectively. Of these, EPA
estimates that approximately 0.1% will
be retrofitted annually to use alternative
refrigerants. Therefore, EPA estimates
that in 2018, 2019 and 2020 the number
of MVACs to be retrofitted are 8, 4 and

MVAC retrofits over the three years of
this ICR.

the Board published a notice in the
Federal Register (83 FR 12762)
requesting public comment for 60 days
on the extension, with revision, of the

the FR Y–3F form and instructions in
order to improve the clarity of the
required information; obtain additional
information necessary to evaluate the
statutory factors; reflect the impact of
new laws, regulations, capital
requirements and accounting rules; and
increase transparency regarding the

a proposal. The revisions are intended
to reduce the need for subsequent
information requests, which delay the
Board’s consideration of a filing and
create additional burden for filers. The

receive any comments. Accordingly, the
revisions will be implemented as
proposed.
