Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory under Clean Water Act Section 308(a). Estimated number of respondents: 5,500 (total). Frequency of response: Annually, On occasion. Total estimated burden: 36,300 hours (per year) hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: $5,368,055 (per year), includes $3,375,790 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,320 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a slight decrease of NPDES major permit holders over the last three years. Non-labor costs for obtaining performance evaluation samples increased.

Abstract: The Clean Air Act requires that on-highway vehicles and motorcycles, and nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment imported into the U.S. either comply with applicable emission requirements or qualify for an applicable exemption or exclusion. The Compliance Division (CD) in the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation maintains and makes available instruments to importers to help facilitate importation of products at U.S. Borders. EPA Form 3520–1 is used by importers of onhighway vehicles and motorcycles, and EPA Form 3520–21 is used by importers PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17875 of nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment. For most imports, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations require that EPA Declaration Forms 3520–1 and 3520–21 be filed with CBP at the time of entry. EPA makes both forms available on our website in fillable PDF format (https:// www.epa.gov/importing-vehicles-andengines/publications-and-formsimporting-vehicles-and-engines). While EPA does not require that the forms be submitted directly to EPA, the forms are primarily used by CBP to facilitate the importation process at U.S. borders. In 2016, CBP deployed the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). ACE has become the primary system through which the trade community and other importers report imports and exports. Through ACE as the single point of submission, manual processes have been streamlined and automated, and paper submissions (e.g. fillable PDFs) have been significantly reduced. During the development of ACE, EPA worked with CBP to incorporate the information detailed on both EPA Declaration Forms 3520–1 and 3520–21 into ACE which effectively eliminates the forms as unique individual documents that are to be filled in and filed with CPB. Rather, importers will log into ACE and check boxes that correspond to information elements currently found on the forms. Filers using the ACE interface will also receive transaction information that will be kept by the filer. However, EPA will continue to maintain the forms on our website in fillable PDF format. Although importers are expected to use the ACE interface to submit information, the PDF versions of the form can also be submitted directly into ACE by importers. EPA also makes available upon request EPA Form 3520–8 for onhighway vehicles. This form is used by independent commercial importers (ICIs) to request final admission of nonconforming vehicles. Form Numbers: 3520–1, 3520–21, 3520–8. Frequency of response: Once per entry. (One form per shipment may be used.) Respondents/affected entities: Individual importers, or companies who import and/or manufacture on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required for any importer to legally import on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment into the U.S. Estimated number of respondents: 14,810. E:\FR\FM\31MRN1.SGM 31MRN1 17876 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 62 / Tuesday, March 31, 2020 / Notices Total estimated burden: 81,985 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $4,244,699 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: The increase in burden hours results from an increase in the estimated number of forms being filed. With the deployment of the ACE system, we are now able to have a much more accurate count of the number of forms that are being filed. There is a decrease in the burden costs because the only O&M costs associated with this ICR are incurred by ICIs during the required certification process, which is covered by 2060–0104. Therefore, with the renewal of this ICR, we are zeroing out the capital and O&M costs in this ICR. The burden totals have been updated accordingly.

Abstract: Information collected under this rulemaking is necessary to implement the requirements of the Significant New Alternatives Policy (SNAP) program for evaluating and regulating substitutes for ozonedepleting substances (ODS) being phased out under the stratospheric ozone protection provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and globally under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. Under CAA Section 612, EPA is authorized to identify and restrict the use of substitutes for class I and class II ODS (listed in 40 CFR part 82, subpart A, appendices A and B) where EPA determines other alternatives are available or potentially available that reduce overall risk to human health and the environment. Any producer of a DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 new substitute must submit a notice of intent to introduce a substitute into interstate commerce 90 days prior to such introduction. The producer must also provide EPA with information covering a wide range of health and environmental factors. The SNAP program, based on information collected from the manufacturers, formulators, and/or sellers of such substitutes, identifies acceptable substitutes. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory under Section 612 for anyone who sells or, in certain cases, uses substitutes for an ODS after April 18, 1994, the effective date of the final rule. Measures to protect confidentiality of information collected under the SNAP program are based on EPA’s confidentiality regulations (40 CFR 2.201 et seq., or Subpart B). Submitters may designate all or portions of their forms or petitions as confidential. EPA requires the submitters to substantiate their claim of confidentiality. Under CAA Section 114(c), emissions information may not be claimed as confidential. To develop the lists of acceptable and unacceptable substitutes, the Agency must assess and compare ‘‘overall risks to human health and the environment’’ posed by use of substitutes in the context of particular applications. EPA requires submission of information covering a wide range of health and environmental factors. These include intrinsic properties such as physical and chemical information, atmospheric effects including ozone depleting potential and global warming potential, toxicity, and flammability, and usespecific data such as substitute applications, process description, environmental release data, exposure data during use of a substitute, environmental fate and transport, and cost information of the substitute. Once a completed submission has been received, the SNAP program will commence its review. Any substitute which is a new chemical must also be submitted to the Agency under the Premanufacture Notice program under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). Alternatives that will be used as sterilants must be filed jointly with EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs and with SNAP. Form Numbers: 1265–14. Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers, importers, formulators and processors of substitutes for ODS. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 82.176). Estimated number of respondents: 180 (per year). Frequency of response: Annual. E:\FR\FM\31MRN1.SGM 31MRN1

    Abstract: The Clean Air Act requires that on-highway vehicles and 
motorcycles, and nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment imported into 
the U.S. either comply with applicable emission requirements or qualify 
for an applicable exemption or exclusion. The Compliance Division (CD) 
in the EPA's Office of Air and Radiation maintains and makes available 
instruments to importers to help facilitate importation of products at 
U.S. Borders. EPA Form 3520-1 is used by importers of on-highway 
vehicles and motorcycles, and EPA Form 3520-21 is used by importers of 
nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment.
    For most imports, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 
regulations require that EPA Declaration Forms 3520-1 and 3520-21 be 
filed with CBP at the time of entry. EPA makes both forms available on 
our website in fillable PDF format (https://www.epa.gov/importing-vehicles-and-engines/publications-and-forms-importing-vehicles-and-engines). While EPA does not require that the forms be submitted 
directly to EPA, the forms are primarily used by CBP to facilitate the 
importation process at U.S. borders.
    In 2016, CBP deployed the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). 
ACE has become the primary system through which the trade community and 
other importers report imports and exports. Through ACE as the single 
point of submission, manual processes have been streamlined and 
automated, and paper submissions (e.g. fillable PDFs) have been 
significantly reduced. During the development of ACE, EPA worked with 
CBP to incorporate the information detailed on both EPA Declaration 
Forms 3520-1 and 3520-21 into ACE which effectively eliminates the 
forms as unique individual documents that are to be filled in and filed 
with CPB. Rather, importers will log into ACE and check boxes that 
correspond to information elements currently found on the forms. Filers 
using the ACE interface will also receive transaction information that 
will be kept by the filer. However, EPA will continue to maintain the 
forms on our website in fillable PDF format. Although importers are 
expected to use the ACE interface to submit information, the PDF 
versions of the form can also be submitted directly into ACE by 
importers.
    EPA also makes available upon request EPA Form 3520-8 for on-
highway vehicles. This form is used by independent commercial importers 
(ICIs) to request final admission of nonconforming vehicles.
    Form Numbers: 3520-1, 3520-21, 3520-8.
    Frequency of response: Once per entry. (One form per shipment may 
be used.)
    Respondents/affected entities: Individual importers, or companies 
who import and/or manufacture on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and 
nonroad engines, vehicles, and equipment.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required for any importer to 
legally import on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and nonroad engines, 
vehicles, and equipment into the U.S.
    Estimated number of respondents: 14,810.

[[Page 17876]]

    Total estimated burden: 81,985 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,244,699 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The increase in burden hours results from an 
increase in the estimated number of forms being filed. With the 
deployment of the ACE system, we are now able to have a much more 
accurate count of the number of forms that are being filed. There is a 
decrease in the burden costs because the only O&M costs associated with 
this ICR are incurred by ICIs during the required certification 
process, which is covered by 2060-0104. Therefore, with the renewal of 
this ICR, we are zeroing out the capital and O&M costs in this ICR. The 
burden totals have been updated accordingly.
