SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Nonconforming Marine Engines, OMB Control Number 2060-0320, EPA ICR No. 
1723.03, expiring September 30, 2001. This is a request for extension 
of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Individuals and businesses importing marine engines, 
including outboard engines and personal water craft, request approval 
for engine importations. The collection of this information is 
mandatory (40 CFR 89.601 et seq. & 91.701 et seq. and Clean Air Act 
Sections 203 and 208) in order to ensure compliance of nonconforming 
engines with Federal emissions requirements. Joint EPA and Customs 
regulations at 40 CFR 89.601 et seq., 40 CFR 91.701 et seq., and 19 CFR 
12.74 promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act Sections 203 and 
208 give authority for the collection of information. This authority 
was extended to nonroad engines under section 213(d). The information 
is used by program personnel to ensure that all Federal emission 
requirements concerning imported nonconforming engines are met. Any 
information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of 
confidentiality is made, is safeguarded according to policies set forth 
in Title 40, Chapter I, Part 2, Subpart B--Confidentiality of Business 
Information (see 40 CFR 2), and the public is not permitted access to 
information containing personal or organizational identifiers. 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. The Federal Register 
document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this 
collection of information was published on May 8, 2001; no comments 
were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.5 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.
    Respondents/Affected entities: Individuals and businesses importing 
marine engines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency of Response: 3.1 responses per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1550.
    Estimated Total Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $77,500.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
