    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

    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.
