Abstract: Section 609 of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Act) provides general guidelines for the servicing of motor vehicle air conditioners (MVACs). It states that ‘‘no person repairing or servicing motor vehicles for consideration may perform any service on a motor vehicle air conditioner involving the refrigerant for such air conditioner without properly using approved refrigerant recycling equipment and no such person may perform such service unless such person has been properly trained and certified.’’ In 1992, EPA developed regulations under section 609 that were published in 57 FR 31240 and codified at 40 CFR part 82 subpart B (section 82.30 et seq.). The information required to be collected under the section 609 regulations is: approved refrigerant PO 00000 Frm 00066 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 handling equipment; approved independent standards testing organizations; technician training and certification; and certification, reporting and recordkeeping. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: The following is a list of NAICS codes for organizations potentially affected by the information requirements covered under this ICR. It is meant to include any establishment that may service or maintain motor vehicle air conditioners. 4411 Automobile Dealers 4413 Automotive Parts, Accessories, and Tire Stores 44711 Gasoline Stations with Convenience Stores 8111 Automotive Repair and Maintenance 811198 All Other Automotive Repair and Maintenance Other affected groups include independent standards testing organizations and organizations with technician certification programs. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 82.36, 82.38, 82.40, 82.42). Estimated number of respondents: 53,147. Frequency of response: On occasion, biennially, only once. Total estimated burden: 4,666.5 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) hours (per year). Total estimated cost: $250,163.29 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of about 502 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB (EPA–HQ–OAR–2021–0040). This increase is due to a revision in the estimate of the total annual number of technicians certified under 40 CFR part 82 (40,000/year in 2021 to 47,000/year in 2024), and an increase in the number of motor vehicle repair establishments in the United States (165,800 in 2021 to about 170,000 in 2024).
