Abstract: The requirements described in this ICR apply to marine compression-ignition (‘marine CI’) engines above 30 liters per cylinder, also known as ‘Category 3’ engines. Category 3 engines are used primarily for propulsion power on ocean-going vessels. Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.; CAA), EPA is charged with issuing certificates of conformity for engines that comply with applicable emission standards. Such a certificate must be issued before engines may be legally introduced into commerce. Category 3 marine CI engine manufacturers must obtain this certificate by demonstrating compliance with the requirements set forth at 40 CFR Part 1042. If the vessel in which the engine is to be installed will travel outside US waters, the engine manufacturer must also obtain a certificate of conformity under 40 CFR Part 1043, also known as an ‘IMO certificate.’ By traveling outside of US waters, the vessel and the engine become subject to the ‘MARPOL Protocol’ , an international treaty to which the United States is a signatory party. 40 CFR Part 1043 implements MARPOL’s Annex VI in the United States. In addition, engines installed in vessels fueled with volatile liquid fuels other than diesel may also be subject to evaporative requirements found at 40 CFR Part 1060. To apply for a certificate of conformity, engine manufacturers are required to submit descriptions of their planned production, including detailed descriptions of emission control systems and test data. This information is organized by "engine family" groups expected to have similar emission characteristics and is submitted every year, at the beginning of the model year. There are also recordkeeping requirements. The CAA also mandates EPA to verify that manufacturers have successfully translated their certified prototype engines into mass produced engines, and that these engines comply with emission standards throughout their useful lives. Under the Production-line Testing (PLT) Program, manufacturers of marine CI Category 3 engines are required to test each engine either at its vessel’s sea trial or within the first 300 hours of operation, whichever comes first. To verify that marine CI engines compliance with emission standards throughout their useful lives, EPA may perform in-use testing on any engine.

(c) It reduces burden on small entities;

(d) It uses plain, coherent, and unambiguous language that is understandable to respondents;

(e) Its implementation will be consistent and compatible with current reporting and recordkeeping practices;

(f) It indicates the retention periods for recordkeeping requirements;

(g) It informs respondents of the information called for under 5 CFR 1320.8 (b)(3) about:

(i) Why the information is being collected;

(ii) Use of information;

(iii) Burden estimate;

(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);

(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;

(h) It was developed by an office that has planned and allocated resources for the efficient and effective management and use of the information to be collected.
