Abstract: This information collection is being conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPAs) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) pursuant to section 114 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act) to assist the Administrator of EPA in developing emissions standards and/or to inform future policy making decisions for aircraft gas turbine engines pursuant to section 231 of the Act. Under CAA section 231, the EPA is responsible for establishing standards for emissions from aircraft engines, and under CAA section 232, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for enforcing these standards. The EPA and the FAA traditionally work within the standard-setting process of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to establish international emission standards and related requirements, which individual nations later adopt into domestic law in fulfillment of their obligations under the Convention on International Civil Aviation (Chicago Convention). Historically, international emission standards have first been adopted by ICAO, and subsequently the EPA has initiated rulemakings under CAA section 231 to establish domestic standards that are at least as stringent as ICAOs standards.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is decrease of 217 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to one-time start-up costs to conduct nvPM measurements from jet engines that were included in the previous ICR renewal. The initial cost for manufacturers was capital and labor intensive. These one-time costs were incurred in the past 3 years and are not expected to need to be repeated for these engines now that the data has been collected. If manufacturers develop a new subsonic engine with a thrust greater than 26.7kN, the nvPM measurements will need to be verified by the FAA. The introduction of new aircraft engines does not happen on a very frequent basis. The EPA is estimating that each manufacturer may introduce one subsonic engine over 26.7kN over the next three years, for a total of 6 engines (compared to an estimated 33 engines in the previous ICR).
