SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Exclusion Determination for New Nonroad Spark-ignited
Engines At or Below 19 Kilowatts, New Compression-ignited Engines at or
Above 37 Kilowatts, New Marine Engines, and New On road Heavy Duty
Engines, EPA ICR Number 1852.01, Previous OMB Control Number 2060-0124,
expiration date: 01/31/99. 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 Compliance Programs Group, Engine Programs and
Compliance Division, Office of Mobile Sources, 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 at 63 FR 80
(4/27/98); no comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.6
hours per respondent. 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 and importers.
