In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, OMB approves for
one year this information collection request regarding the
Heavy-Duty Engine Selective Enforcement Auditing Program (OMB
Number 2060-0131). We propose a change in the collection
requirements of 40 CFR 86, Subpart K (see 5 CFR 1320.14) to
eliminate Section 86.1005-84 mandating the submission to EPA of
manufacturer's internal quality audit data. We understand that EPA
will soon submit a NPRM which eliminates this requirement. However,
since NPRMs typically tak several years to become final and because
the change is minor, we expect, in accordance with 5 CFR
1320.14(g), a draft notice of proposed rulemaking to be submitted
for E.O. 12291 review within 120 days. Please refer to OMB Number
2060-0131 in any correspondence dealing with this ICR.
