1In
recent
years,
participation
in
the
NCP
program
has
included
only
one
manufacturer
and
only
one
family
each
year.
The
projection
of
six
participating
engine
families
each
year
is
a
result
of
the
more
stringent
emission
standards
that
are
being
implemented
in
upcoming
model
years
and
the
expected
increased
use
of
NCPs
by
manufacturers.

1(
b)
Short
Characterization
Nonconformance
penalties
(
NCP)
provisions
allow
a
manufacturer
to
introduce
into
commerce
heavy­
duty
engines(
HDEs)
or
heavy­
duty
vehicles
(
HDVs),
including
light­
duty
trucks(
LDTs),
which
fail
to
conform
with
certain
emission
standards,
upon
payment
of
a
monetary
penalty.

The
information
collection
activities
for
the
NCP
program
include
the
collection
of
periodic
reports
and
other
information
which
the
manufacturer
creates
and
submits
to
the
Certification
and
Compliance
Division
(
CCD),
Office
of
Transportation
and
Air
Quality
(
OTAQ),
Office
of
Air
and
Radiation
(
OAR),
of
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
CCD
uses
this
information
to
ensure
that
manufacturers
are
in
compliance
with
the
regulations
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
Act)
and
paying
the
appropriate
penalties.
The
information
submitted
in
the
manufacturers'
NCP
reports
is
stored
in
CCD's
computer
tracking
system
to
ensure
accurate
accounting
of
NCP
payments.

Since
nonconformance
penalties
and
associated
PCAs
are
an
option
elected
by
manufacturers,
EPA
cannot
be
certain
how
many
engine
families
manufacturers
will
request
to
be
included
in
the
NCP
program
each
year.
Likewise,
we
cannot
be
certain
of
the
number
of
PCAs
that
will
be
conducted
each
model
year.
However,
EPA
estimates
for
ICR
purposes,
that
six
engine
families
will
be
included
in
the
NCP
program
each
model
year.

This
information
is
collected
by
the
Engine
Programs
Group
(
EPG)
in
CCD.
Besides
CCD,
this
information
could
be
used
by
the
Office
of
Enforcement
and
Compliance
Assurance
(
OECA)
and
the
Department
of
­
2­
Justice
for
enforcement
purposes.
Non
Confidential
Business
Information(
CBI)
information
is
also
disclosed
in
a
public
database
and
over
the
Internet.
It
is
used
by
trade
associations,
environmental
groups,
and
the
public.
The
information
is
usually
submitted
in
an
electronic
format,
and
it
is
stored
in
EPG's
certification
database.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
collection
Under
Title
II
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
(
42
USC
7521
et
seq.),
EPA
is
charged
with
issuing
certificates
of
conformity
for
those
vehicles
and
engines
that
comply
with
applicable
emission
standards.
Such
certificates
must
be
issued
before
vehicles
or
engines
are
legally
introduced
into
commerce.
To
ensure
compliance
with
these
statutes,
EPA
reviews
product
information
and
manufacturers'
test
results;
EPA
also
tests
some
vehicles
and
engines
to
confirm
manufacturers'
results.

EPA's
emission
certification
programs
are
statutorily
mandated;
the
agency
does
not
have
discretion
to
cease
these
functions.
Under
Section
206(
g)(
1)
of
the
Act
as
amended
(
42
USC
7525):

In
the
case
of
any
class
or
category
of
heavy­
duty
vehicles
or
engines
to
which
a
standard
promulgated
under
section
202(
a)
of
this
Act
applies,
except
as
provided
in
paragraph
(
2),
a
certificate
of
conformity
shall
be
issued
under
subsection
(
a)
and
shall
not
be
suspended
or
revoked
under
subsection
(
b)
for
such
vehicle
or
engines
manufactured
by
a
manufacturer
notwithstanding
the
failure
of
such
vehicles
or
engines
to
meet
such
standard
if
such
manufacturer
pays
a
nonconformance
penalty
as
provided
under
regulations
promulgated
by
the
Administrator
after
notice
and
opportunity
for
public
hearing.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
EPA
uses
the
data
to
ensure
manufacturers
are
complying
with
the
regulations
and
that
appropriate
nonconformance
penalties
are
being
paid
by
the
participants.

The
information
will
be
received
and
used
by
EPG,
CCD,
OTAQ,
OAR.
Non­
confidential
portions
of
the
information
submitted
to
EPG
are
available
to
and
used
by
manufacturers,
engine
users,
environmental
groups,
members
of
the
public
and
state
and
local
government
organizations.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
information
requested
under
this
ICR
is
required
by
statute.
Because
of
its
specialized
(
and
sometimes
confidential)
nature,
and
the
fact
that
it
must
be
submitted
to
EPA
prior
to
the
start
of
­
3­
production,
the
information
collected
is
not
available
from
any
other
source.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
the
public
comment
period
for
this
ICR
renewal
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
May
31,
2005
(
70
FR
30943).
No
comments
were
received.
A
copy
of
the
FR
notice
can
be
found
in
Appendix
A.

3(
c)
Consultations
Under
the
existing
ICR,
only
one
manufacturer
has
elected
to
participate
in
the
NCP
program.
Given
this
low
level
of
activity,
EPA
did
not
attempt
to
contact
potential
respondents,
and
chose
instead
to
use
the
burden
estimates
provided
by
the
respondents
under
the
existing
ICR.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
The
CAA
states
that
emission
certification
must
be
done
on
a
yearly
basis
(
CAA
206(
a)(
1)),
coinciding
with
the
industry's
"
model
year."
Major
product
changes
typically
occur
at
the
start
of
a
model
year.
For
these
reasons,
a
collection
frequency
of
less
than
a
model
year
is
not
possible.
However,
EPA
only
requires
the
collection
of
PCA
information
when
a
manufacturer
elects
to
pay
a
nonconformance
penalty
and
conduct
a
PCA.
EPA
requires
that
the
NCP
payment
and
associated
report
be
submitted
quarterly
to
EPA.
If
the
payment
and
accompanying
report
were
submitted
less
frequently,
a
nonconforming
manufacturer
could
gain
a
competitive
advantage
over
a
conforming
manufacturer
by
having
the
use
of
the
penalty
funds.
The
Act
requires
EPA
to
remove
such
an
advantage.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
EPA
requires
a
manufacturer
that
elects
to
pay
an
NCP
to
conduct
a
Production
Compliance
Audit
(
PCA)
on
those
engines
or
vehicles.
Selection
of
engines
or
vehicles
for
PCA
testing
must
be
initiated
no
later
than
5
days
after
the
start
of
assembly
line
production
of
the
specified
engine
family.
The
manufacturer
must
agree
to
pay
the
NCP
calculated
as
a
result
of
PCA
testing.
The
manufacturer
must
agree
to
recall
any
engines
or
vehicles
introduced
into
commerce
if
the
compliance
level
of
the
engine
or
vehicle
exceeds
the
upper
limit
as
determined
by
the
PCA.

Manufacturers
are
required
to
establish,
maintain
and
retain
specific
records
under
the
regulation
pertaining
to
all
equipment
used
to
test
engines
or
vehicles,
individual
test
results,
information
and
test
data,
and
a
complete
record
of
all
emission
tests
performed.
Required
records
shall
be
maintained
by
the
manufacturer
for
a
period
of
six
years.
The
six­
year
recordkeeping
requirement
stems
from
the
CAA
mandate
that
manufacturers
recall
engines
failing
to
meet
emission
standards
throughout
their
useful
lives.
Records
may
be
retained
as
hard
copy
or
reduced
to
microfilm,
ADP
film,
etc.,
depending
on
the
manufacturer's
record
retention
­
4­
procedure,
provided
that
in
every
case
all
the
information
contained
in
the
hard
copy
is
retained.

Manufacturers
are
required
to
submit
confidential
business
information
such
as
sales
data
and
certain
sensitive
technical
descriptions
(
Please
see
section
4(
b)(
i)
for
reference).
This
information
is
kept
confidential
in

Act,
EPA
regulations

40
CFR
Part
2,
and
class
determinations
issued
by
EPA's
Office
of
General
Counsel.
Also,
nonproprietary
information
submitted
by
manufacturers
is
held
as
confidential
until
the
specific
vehicle
or
engine
to
which
it
pertains
is
available
for
purchase.

No
other
general
guideline
is
exceeded
by
this
information
collection.

Information
Requested
All
manufacturers
electing
to
pay
an
NCP
must
describe
their
product(
s)
and
supply
test
data
to
verify
compliance.
This
­
5­
information
is
organized
by
"
engine
family"
groups
expected
to
have
similar
emission
characteristics.
Manufacturers
must
also
retain
needed
records.

The
burden
for
a
given
engine
family
is
reduced
after
the
model's
first
production
year,
because
data
and
information
from
previous
years
can
be
"
carried
over"
when
no
significant
changes
have
occurred.
For
instance,
an
engine
family
certified
in
model
year
2005
can
be
certified
in
the
2006
model
year
by
"
carry
over"
of
data
and
paperwork
from
the
2005
model
year
if
no
significant
changes
have
occurred
to
the
engine
family
between
model
years.
Allowing
manufacturers
to
carry
over
data
and
paperwork
saves
manufacturers
the
burden
of
duplication
of
data
and
paperwork
which
would
occur
in
the
absence
of
such
provisions.
Carry
over
reduces
the
need
to
conduct
a
PCA
for
each
engine
family
on
an
annual
basis
as
PCA
data
may
be
carried
over
to
subsequent
model
years
when
appropriate.

The
Information
Collected­­
Agency
Activities,
Collection
Methodology,
and
Information
Management
5(
a)
Agency
Activities
A
significant
portion
of
EPA's
NCP
activity
is
spent
reviewing
the
application,
verifying
that
the
correct
engines
have
been
selected
and
appropriately
tested,
determining
the
applicable
compliance
level
and
corresponding
nonconformance
penalty,
ensuring
applicable
fees
are
paid,
storing
the
data
and
answering
manufacturers'
questions.
A
part
of
the
NCP
process
involves
determining
if
"
carry
over"
of
data
from
a
previous
model
year
is
appropriate
or
if
new
testing
will
be
required.
The
agency
also
analyzes
requests
for
confidentiality
and
provides
appropriate
protection.

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
EPA
currently
makes
extensive
use
of
computers
in
evaluating
information
from
vehicle
and
engine
manufacturers.
Most
manufacturers
use
the
electronic
format
provided
by
EPA
to
submit
their
NCP
applications
and
PCA
data.
Once
the
diskette
containing
the
­
7­
application
is
received,
the
application
is
entered
into
the
Database
and
reviewed
for
completeness.
If
the
manufacturer
chooses
to
submit
the
application
and/
or
PCA
data
in
hard
copy,
EPA
enters
the
information
in
our
database.
The
certification
reviewer
analyses
the
application
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
CAA
and
applicable
regulations.
Non
confidential
parts
of
the
application
can
be
accessed
by
the
public
by
contacting
the
EPG
or
through
the
"
Engine
Certification
Information
Center"
at
http://
www.
epa.
gov/
otaq/
certdata.
htm.

The
quarterly
report
can
be
submitted
in
hard
copy
form
or
electronically
via
computer
disk
or
email.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
There
is
no
small
entity
flexibility
specific
to
the
NCP
requirements.
However,
small
on­
highway
engine
manufacturers
may
use
optional
procedures
outlined
in
86.098­
14
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
general
standards
and
specific
emission
requirements.

The
information
being
requested
is
considered
to
be
the
minimum
needed
to
effectively
conduct
and
maintain
integrity
of
the
NCP
program.

5(
d)
Collection
Schedule
Required
data
must
be
submitted
for
each
engine
family
on
a
yearly
basis
for
each
"
model
year"
that
a
manufacturer
intends
to
build
(
or
import)
an
engine
model.
Taking
these
considerations
into
account,
manufacturers
normally
submit
information
on
an
annual
basis
and
submit
their
applications
at
their
earliest
convenience.

Nonconformance
penalties
must
be
paid
by
specified
quarterly
due
dates
or
according
to
such
schedule
as
the
Administrator
may
approve
based
on
a
manufacturer
request.
The
manufacturer
must
submit
corporate
identification,
identification
and
quantity
of
engines
or
vehicles
subject
to
the
NCP,
certificate
identification
number
and
date,
NCP
payment
calculations,
and
a
statement
of
compliance
with
requirements
and
endorsement.

Given
this
low
level
of
activity,
EPA
did
not
attempt

used
the
mean
hourly
wage
estimates
developed
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS)
for
Transportation
Equipment
Manufacturing
(
NAICS
Subsector
336)
and
adjusted
the
rates
to
account
for
overhead.
The
mean
hourly
rate
estimated
by
BLS
for
management
occupations
(
SOC

is
$
45.24,
resulting
in
a
rate
of
$
95.00
after
adding
overhead/
benefits
at
110%.
The
mean
hourly
rate
for
Secretaries,
Except
Legal,
Medical,
and
Executive
(
SOC

is
$
13.83,
resulting
in
a
rate
of
$
29.04
after
adding
overhead/

at

Using
these
standard
BLS
labor
rates
rather
than
the
rates
developed
in
the
existing
ICR
in
consultation
with
the
affected
industry
results
in
a
substantial
reduction
in
overall
labor
costs.
The
estimate
of
burden
hours,
however,
remains
the
same.

In
estimating
respondent
burden
for
the
NCP
program,
time
was
allocated
for
regulation
review,
training,
records
maintenance,
quarterly
reporting
and
production
compliance
auditing.

the
PCA
includes
hours
for
engine

EPA
anticipates
receiving
6
requests
for
separate
engine

to
participate
in
the
NCP
program
annually.
Two
manufacturers
are
expected
to
participate
annually.
Currently,
only
one
manufacturer
participates
with
a
single
engine
family
annually.
On
an
annual
basis
it
is
expected
that
three
of
the
engine
families
will
be
new
families
that
require

Three
of
the
families
will
be

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
burden
hours
remain
the
same
as
those
in
the
existing
ICR.
There
is
a
very
slight
increase
in
labor
costs,
due
to
the
use
of
current
wage
rates
for
this
ICR.

6(
g)
Burden
Statement
For
the
two
participating
highway
engine
manufacturers,
the
burden
associated
with
requesting
NCP
certificates
of
conformity
for
their
annual
production
is
estimated
to
average
1,178
hours
total.
This
equals
589
hours
per
respondent
for
three
engine
families
each.
The
associated
burden
on
a
per
engine
family
basis
is
196
hours.

These
estimates
include
time
to
review
applicable
regulations
and
guidance
documents,
train
personnel,
generate
and
gather
the
necessary
PCA
information,
submit
applications
and
reports,
and
maintain
records.

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
­
11­
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.
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.

To
comment
on
the
Agency's
need
for
this
information,
the
accuracy
of
the
provided
burden
estimates,
and
any
suggested
methods
for
minimizing
respondent
burden,
including
the
use
of
automated
collection
techniques,
