respondent is expected to be aware of
relevant aspects of the company’s
charging infrastructure and program if
such exists, such that the gathering of
information is not expected to be very
resource consuming. DOE will continue
to compile and issue an annual progress
update that would provide an update on
the Workplace Charging Challenge
program partners’ activities, as well as
report on metrics DOE is evaluating
related to energy consumption, costs,
numbers of employers in the program,
and best practices that can be identified
for the purpose of helping others take
steps to deploy charging infrastructure.
The following are reports and
documents available to date:
• Workplace Charging Challenge 2014
Progress Update: Employers Take
Charge
• Workplace Charging Challenge MidProgram Review: Employees Plug In
• Plug-In Electric Vehicle Handbook for
Workplace Charging Hosts
• Install and Manage Workplace
Charging
• Costs Associated With NonResidential Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment
The Challenge effort will continue to
rely on data the Partners will provide
via an online response tool. The data
collection would continue to address
the following topic areas: (1) Charging
infrastructure and use; (2) employee
PEV ownership and PEV knowledge;
and (3) feedback on the Challenge.
The data would continue to be
compiled for the purpose of assessing
and setting forth in the annual progress
updates the Workplace Charging
Challenge program’s impact in terms of
increasing both the number of
employers offering workplace charging
and the deployment of EVSEs and PEVs.
As is done presently, the data and
subsequent analyses will allow DOE to
compare historical records dynamically,
and provide the opportunity for DOE to
determine annual progress toward
Workplace Charging Challenge goals.
Calculation of progress and impacts will
continue to be undertaken on an annual
basis.
The Workplace Charging Challenge
program is targeted at U.S. employers.
Providing initial baseline information
for each participating employer, which
occurs only once, is expected to take 1.5
hours. Follow-up questions and
clarifications for the purpose of
ensuring accurate analyses may take up
to 3.5 hours; (5) Annual Estimated

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. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking
a revision to an existing package with a
three year extension. Title II of the
Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.;
CAA), charges the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing
certificates of conformity for those
engines that comply with applicable
emission standards. Such a certificate
must be issued before engines may be
legally introduced into commerce.
Under this ICR, EPA collects
information necessary to (1) issue
certificates of compliance with emission
statements, and (2) verify compliance
with various programs and regulatory
provisions pertaining to marine
compression-ignition engines with a
specific engine displacement at or above
30 liters per cylinder, also referred to as
Category 3 engines. To apply for a
certificate of conformity, manufacturers
are required to submit descriptions of
their planned production engines,
including detailed descriptions of
emission control systems and test data.
This information is organized by
‘‘engine family’’ groups expected to
have similar emission characteristics.
There are recordkeeping requirements of
up to eight years. The Act also mandates
EPA to verify that manufacturers have
successfully translated their certified
prototypes into mass produced engines,
and that these engines comply with
emission standards throughout their
useful lives.
Under the Production Line Testing
Program (‘‘PLT Program’’),
manufacturers of Category 3 engines are
required to test each engine at the sea
trial of the vessel in which the engine
is installed or within the first 300 hours
of operation, whichever comes first.
This self-audit program allows
manufacturers to monitor compliance
and minimize the cost of correcting
errors through early detection. In
addition, owners and operators of

PO 00000

Frm 00014

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

marine vessels with Category 3 engines
must record certain information and
send minimal annual notifications to
EPA to show that engine maintenance
and adjustments have not caused
engines to be noncompliant. From time
to time, EPA may test in-use engines to
verify compliance with emission
standards throughout the marine
engine’s useful life and may ask for
information about the engine family to
be tested.
The information requested is
collected by the Diesel Engine
Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance
Division (CD), Office of Transportation
and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation, EPA. Besides DECC and CD,
this information could be used by the
Office of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance and the Department of Justice
for enforcement purposes.
Proprietary information is kept
confidential in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
EPA regulations at 40 CFR parts 2 and
1042.915, and class determinations
issued by EPA’s Office of General
Counsel. Non-confidential business
information may be disclosed as
requested under FOIA. That information
may be used by trade associations,
environmental groups, and the public.
Most of the information is collected in
electronic format and stored in CD’s
databases.
Form Numbers: 5900–90 (Annual
Production Report); 5900–297 (PLT
CumSum Report); 5900–298 (PLT NonCumSum Report); 5900–124
(Application for Certification).
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Respondents are manufacturers of
marine compression-ignition engines
above 30 liters per cylinder and the
owners or operators of the vessels in
which those engines are installed,
within the following North American
Industry Classification System (NAICS)
codes: 333618 (Other Engine Equipment
Manufacturing), 336611 (Manufacturers
of Marine Vessels); 811310 (Engine
Repair and Maintenance); 483 (Water
transportation, freight and passenger).
Respondent’s Obligation to Respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Manufacturers must respond to this
collection if they wish to sell and/or
operate their Category 3 engines in the
U.S., as prescribed by Section 206(a) of
the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR
part 1042. Certification reporting is
mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42
U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR part 1042,
subpart C). PLT reporting is mandatory
(Section 206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR
part 1042, subpart D).

Estimated Number of Respondents:
201 (total, including engine
manufacturers, owners and operators).
Frequency of Response: Quarterly,
Annually, On Occasion, depending on
the type of response.
Total Estimated Burden: 24,813 hours
per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $1,931,765 (per
year), includes an estimated $734,588
annualized capital or maintenance and
operational costs.
Changes in Estimates: To date, there
are no changes in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB.
However, EPA is evaluating information
that may lead to a change in the
estimates. After EPA has evaluated this
information, burden estimates may
slightly decrease due to the fact that
EPA has received fewer applications for
certification of Category 3 engine
families than previously estimated. Cost
estimates may increase due to inflation
and labor rate changes.
