Abstract: EPA adopted requirements for marine vessels operating in and around U.S. territorial waters to use reduced-sulfur diesel fuel. This requirement applies to 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 PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54185 communicating with affected companies and answering questions from the public or other industry participants regarding the waiver in question. The EPA Tier 4 standards now apply for engines installed on U.S. vessels. These standards generally require installation of selective catalytic reduction technology, which substantially increases the complexity of replacing the steam powerplant with one or more engines. We therefore don’t expect anyone to use the steamship exemption. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are those who are using the waiver provisions of 40 CFR 1043.95(b). 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. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
