Requirements for On-Highway Light-Duty Vehicles, Light-Duty Trucks, and
Heavy-Duty Engines; Large Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines; and
Nonroad Spark-ignition Engines at and Below 19 Kilowatts
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this notice announces that EPA is planning to submit the
following proposed and/or continuing Information Collection Request
(ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Before submitting
the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on
specific aspects of the proposed information collection as described
below.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 12, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Engine Programs and Compliance Division, 401 M Street, SW
(6403J), Washington, DC 20460. Interested persons may request a copy of
the ICR, without charge, by writing, faxing, or phoning the contact
person below.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Gezelle, Office of Mobile
Sources, Engine Programs and Compliance Division, (202) 233-9267, (202)
233-9596 (fax).
Affected Entities
Entities potentially affected by this action are manufacturers of
on-highway light-duty vehicles, light-duty trucks, and heavy-duty
engines; and manufacturers of small nonroad spark-ignition engines and
large nonroad compression-ignition engines.
Title
Selective Enforcement Auditing Reporting and Record keeping
Requirements for On-Highway Light-Duty Vehicles, Light-Duty Trucks, and
Heavy-Duty Engines; Large Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines; and
Small Nonroad Spark-ignition Engines. (OMB #: 2060-0064, approved
through 3/31/96).
Abstract
Manufacturers of on-highway light-duty vehicles (LDVs), light-duty
trucks (LDTs), and heavy-duty engines (HDEs); and manufacturers of
small nonroad spark-ignition engines (SIEs) and large nonroad
compression-ignition engines (CIEs) will report and keep records of
production information, Selective Enforcement Audit information, test
data, audit reports, and laboratory information. Manufacturers will
submit production reports at the beginning of each model year,
voluntarily submit production line test data acquired from a
manufacturer's own testing program, and submit audit information at the
conclusion of a Selective enforcement Audit. EPA will use this
information to plan audits and to verify that production line engines
are in compliance with emission standards.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
EPA would like to solicit comments 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;
[[Page 5398]]
(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.
