    Title: Exclusion Determinations for New Non-road Spark-Ignited 
Engines, New Non-road Compression-Ignited Engines and New On-Road Heavy 
Duty Engines (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1852.04, OMB Control No. 2060-0395.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2009. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Under the provisions of the Clean Air Act (Act), the 
Administrator is required to promulgate regulations to control air 
pollutant emissions from ``motor vehicles'' and ``non-road engines,'' 
as defined in the Act. Motor vehicles and non-road engines not meeting 
the applicable definitions 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 the Agency's. To request an exclusion determination, manufacturers 
submit a letter with a description of the engine and/or vehicle (engine 
type, horsepower rating, intended usage etc.) and sales brochures to 
EPA. EPA uses this information to determine whether the engine or 
vehicle is excluded from compliance with one or more emission 
regulations. EPA then stores the data in its internal files, and makes 
it available to environmental groups and the public upon request under 
the Freedom of Information Act.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 6 
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 which have subsequently 
changed; 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: Light Truck and Utility Vehicle 
Manufacturers; Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturers; Gasoline Engine and 
Engine Parts Manufacturers; Construction Machinery Manufacturers; 
Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery 
Manufacturers; Marine Engine Manufacturers; Other Engine Equipment 
Manufacturers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 12.
    Frequency of Response: Annual and On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 69.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $6,254, which includes $116 annualized 
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
