Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 87 / Friday, May 7, 2021 / Notices
International Civil Aviation Chicago Convention.1 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. The renewal of this ICR will ensure all the necessary information is gathered for inproduction engines in order to support and inform any possible future policy making decisions.
The EPA is not proposing to collect any additional data or apply this reporting to any additional respondents.
However, the EPA is expanding the scope of this ICR to include supersonic aircraft engines in addition to subsonic aircraft engines. When this ICR was established and previously renewed, the only aircraft engines that were in production, in development, or in use were subsonic engines. Thus, the EPA
only included subsonic engines and only referred to subsonic test procedures. Yet, standards in 40 CFR
part 87 Control of Air Pollution from Aircraft and Aircraft Engines apply to both subsonic and supersonic aircraft engines.
Recently, there has been significant renewed interest in the development of supersonic aircraft and engines. Thus, the EPA is expanding this ICR to apply equally to all engines subsonic and supersonic aircraft engines that are required to meet standards under Part 87. The EPA is not expecting any supersonic engines to be certified by the FAA in the next three years, but the EPA wants to ensure it has access to this new emissions information in an expeditious manner so that the agency can understand the environmental impacts and inform any appropriate future standard setting activities under CAA section 231. The inclusion of supersonic engines would not expand the number of respondents; nor would it place any additional burden on the manufactures because the EPA is only requesting data related to standards under Part 87.
Form Numbers: EPA Form 5900223.
Respondents/affected entities:
Respondents affected by this action are the manufacturers of aircraft gas turbine engines subject to 40 CFR part 87. Table 1 below presents some examples of potentially affected entities according to NAICS code. Table 1 is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide for respondents regarding
facilities likely to be affected by this ICR.

Respondents obligation to respond:
Mandatory pursuant to section 114 of the Clean Air Act.
Estimated number of respondents: 7
total.
Frequency of response: Annual.
Total estimated burden: 456 hours 152 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03b.
Total estimated cost: $42,005
$14,002 per year, includes $0
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 1,050 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to the fact that one-time start-up costs to conduct nvPM measurements from jet engines 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 doesnt 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. The estimated time manufacturers need to collect and report this data to the EPA remains the same.
