SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. 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 Paperwork Reduction Act, 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 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: For this ICR, EPA is seeking a revision to an existing package with a three-year extension. Title II of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), charges the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing certificates of conformity for those engines and vehicles that comply with applicable emission requirements. Such a certificate must be issued before those products may be legally introduced into commerce. To E:\FR\FM\27JAN1.SGM 27JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 18 / Friday, January 27, 2023 / Notices apply for a certificate of conformity, manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned production, detailed descriptions of emission control systems and test data. This information is organized by ‘‘families,’’ groups of engines/vehicles expected to have similar emission characteristics. The emission values achieved during certification testing may also be used in the Averaging, Banking, and Trading (ABT) Program. The program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is voluntary. The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass produced engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through ‘Compliance Programs’ which include Production Line Testing (PLT), In-use Testing and Selective Enforcement Audits, (SEAs). Not all programs apply to all industries included in this ICR. PLT, which only applies to marine engines, is a self-audit program that allows engine manufacturers to monitor their products’ emissions profile with statistical certainty and minimize the cost of correcting errors through early detection. In-use testing allows manufacturers and EPA to verify compliance with emission standards throughout an engine family’s useful life. Through SEAs, EPA verifies that test data submitted by engine manufacturers is reliable and testing is performed according to EPA regulations. Under the Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM), NRCI equipment manufacturers were able to delay compliance with Tier 4 standards for up to seven years as long as they comply with certain limitations. The program, which has ended, sought to ease the impact of new emission standards on equipment manufacturers as they often need to redesign their products to accommodate changes in engine design. Although TPEM is no longer available, EPA keeping reporting forms for the duration of this collection. There are varying recordkeeping and labeling requirements under all programs. The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division (CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their programs under 49 U.S.C. 32902. EPA’s and NHTSA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance 5335 and the Department of Justice may use the information for enforcement purposes. Most of the information is collected in electronic format and stored in CD’s databases. Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 2. Non-confidential information may be disclosed on OTAQ’s website or upon request under the Freedom of Information Act to trade associations, environmental groups, and the public. Form Numbers: Most of the information in this request is collected electronically through EPA’s Engines and Vehicles Compliance Information System (EV–CIS). EV–CIS uses webforms to collect most certification and some compliance data. Data related some programs is collected through Excel-based templates that are then uploaded into different components of EV–CIS. Table 2 lists the forms currently used in this collection in addition to EPA’s database for engine and vehicle certification (EV–CIS). Some forms, such as the notification and application forms related to TPEM and TPEM hardship relief will be discontinued as those programs have expired. EPA is working on amendments to the PLT Report for Marine CI forms and the Replacement Engine Exemption Report to reflect recent regulatory changes.

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 
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 who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or

program allows engine manufacturers to bank credits for engine families 
that emit below the standard and use the credits to certify engine 
families that emit above the standard. They may also trade banked 
credits with other manufacturers. Participation in the ABT program is 
voluntary.
    The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have 
successfully translated their certified prototypes into mass produced 
engines; and that these engines comply with emission standards 
throughout their useful lives. EPA verifies this through `Compliance

    The information requested is collected by the Compliance Division 
(CD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and 
Radiation, EPA. CD uses this information to issue certificates of 
conformity and ensure that manufacturers comply with applicable 
regulations and the CAA. Some HD data is also used by the National 
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to implement their 
programs under 49 U.S.C. 32902. EPA's and NHTSA's Office of Enforcement 
and Compliance Assurance and the Department of Justice may use the 
information for enforcement purposes. Most of the information is 
collected in electronic format and stored in CD's databases.
    Manufacturers may assert a claim of confidentiality over 
information provided to EPA. Confidentiality is granted in accordance 
with the Freedom of Information Act and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 
2. Non-confidential information may be disclosed on OTAQ's website or 
upon request under the Freedom of Information Act to trade 
associations, environmental groups, and the public.
    Form Numbers: Most of the information in this request is collected 
electronically through EPA's Engines and Vehicles Compliance 
Information System (EV-CIS). EV-CIS uses webforms to collect most 
certification and some compliance data. Data related some programs is 
collected through Excel-based templates that are then uploaded into 
different components of EV-CIS. Table 2 lists the forms currently used 
in this collection in addition to EPA's database for engine and vehicle 
certification (EV-CIS). Some forms, such as the notification and 
application forms related to TPEM and TPEM hardship relief will be 
discontinued as those programs have expired. EPA is working on 
amendments to the PLT Report for Marine CI forms and the Replacement 
Engine Exemption Report to reflect recent regulatory changes.
