Abstract: 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 information 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 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 is unchanged from the current estimate in the total estimated respondent burden currently approved by OMB. Since the IMO Tier III NOx standards now apply for engines installed on U.S. vessels, we don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption.
