Abstract: This ICR covers the burden associated with EPA Form 3520-21, a declaration form for importers of nonroad vehicles or engines into the United States, which identifies the regulated category and the provisions under which the importation is taking place. In addition, this ICR covers the possible burden of EPA Form 3520-8 if it comes to be used to request final importation clearance for Independent Commercial Importers of nonroad compression ignition engines, who would have to bring the engines into compliance and provide test results, comparable to the use of Form 8 for on-road vehicles as covered by OMB 2060-0095.
