SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Exclusion Determinations for New Non-road Spark-ignited 
Engines at and Below 19 Kilowatts, New Non-road Compression-ignited 
Engines, New Marine Engines, and New On-road Heavy Duty Engines, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0395, EPA ICR Number 1852.02, expiration date 6/30/
2002. This is a request for extension of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Some types of engines are excluded from compliance with 
current regulations. A manufacturer may make an exclusion determination 
by itself; however, manufacturers and importers may routinely request 
EPA to make such determination to ensure that their determination does 
not differ from EPA's. Only needed information such as engine type, 
horsepower rating, intended usage, etc., is requested to make an 
exclusion determination.
    Responses to this collection are voluntary. The information is 
collected by the Engine Programs Group, Certification and Compliance 
Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and 
Radiation. Confidentiality to proprietary information is granted in 
accordance with the Freedom of Information Act, EPA regulations at 40 
CFR part 2, and class determinations issued by EPA's Office of General 
Counsel.
    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 3/08/2002; 
no comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average seven 
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: Engine manufacturers, equipment 
manufacturers and importers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 69 hours.
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $116.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please 
refer to EPA ICR No. 1852.02 and OMB Control No. 2060-0395 in any 
correspondence.
