Title: Control of Air Pollution; Emission Standards for New Nonroad
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Comment filed on proposed rule and continue	Conclusion Date: 05/21/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 01/28/1998
Terms of Clearance: This information collection request is not approved, pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.11. This ICR was received by OMB on 1/28/98, after the publication of the associated NPRM in the Federal Register on 1/27/98 (63 FR 3949). EPA is reminded that section 1320.11(b) requires submission to OMB not later than the date of publication in the Federal Register. Furthermore, EPA's notice within the NPRM of the ICR's submission to OMB did not conform to the requirements in 1320.5(a)(iv) that the Agency set forth the title and summary of the proposed collection, a brief description of the need for the information and proposed use of the information, a description of the likely respondents, and an estimate of the total annual burden for each collection.__As a matter of compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and to ensure that the public has sufficient information to provide meaningful comment on collections, EPA should ensure that future submissions of ICRs to OMB are in compliance with part 1320 and applicable OMB guidance. Prior to submission of the ICR associated with the final rule for nonroad SI engines below 19 kilowatts, EPA should recalculate the Agency burden in the ICR supporting statement using appropriate loaded wage rates. In addition, EPA should clarify the record retention requirements in the ICR, and explain why retention beyond three years is necessary. OMB is concerned that this requirement may lack practical utility and that the Agency has not demonstrated a substantial need for exceeding the three-year record retention limit specified at 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2)(iv). EPA should also address the need for a bench test of class 1 and class 2 engines after the useful life of those engines. EPA shall address these issues and any comments received on the proposed rule that pertain to its information collection aspects in the preamble of the final rule and in the supporting statement of the associated ICR. The Agency should also clarify the following issues prior to resubmitting this ICR to OMB in conjunction with the final rule: 1) the basis for the wage rates used in calculating respondent burden; 2) the Agency's estimation of the respondent universe and total burden and costs; and 3) the changes that have been made from the previous collection under this control number. In addition, EPA should provide a description in the supporting statement of the various engine classes and categories referenced in the ICR.
