Terms of Clearance:
In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years with the following additional terms of clearance. Prior to the resubmission of the collection, (1) EPA will review information obtained through an on-going International Trade Data System (ITDS) pilot program and the Cargo Time Release Study regarding the utility of continuing this information collection and any potential burden reducing initiatives that may be undertaken to streamline these requirements. (2) In addition, the agency will review the current burden estimates associated with the information collection to accurately assess the burden estimate including the number of respondents, burden hours, and costs associated with the collection. The burden estimate should take into account the time and cost expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency consistent with 1320.3(b)(1).

Abstract:
This ICR will consolidate two separate ICRs (2060-0095 and 2060-0302) that currently individually cover EPA Declaration Forms 3520-1, 3520-21, and 3520-8. EPA Declaration Form 3520-1 is used by importers of on-highway vehicles and motorcycles and EPA Declaration Form 3520-21 is used by importers of nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment to help facilitate importation of products at U.S. Borders. Each form identifies the regulated category of engine or vehicle and the regulatory provisions under which the importation is taking place. In addition, this ICR covers the burden of EPA Form 3520-8 which is used to request final importation clearance for Independent Commercial Importers (ICIs) of on-highway vehicles who are required to bring the on-highway vehicles into compliance and provide test results. This form is currently covered by OMB 2060-0095. EPA is consolidating these two ICRS due to the effort being undertaken by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require electronic filing for all importers. Over the last several years, CBP has been developing the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for electronic filing. By the end of 2016, ACE will become the primary system the trade community and other importers will use to report imports and exports. Through ACE as the single window, manual processes will be streamlined and automated, and paper submissions (e.g. fillable PDFs) will essentially be eliminated. However, EPA will continue to maintain the forms on our website in fillable PDF format. EPA does not collect the forms, but rather makes them available to importers and CBP to facilitate entry of goods at the port. EPA may ask for them upon request to assist CPB and/or EPA enforcement personnel for any given import for which there are questions or issues. The forms are primarily used by CBP at the time of importation to assist CBP in making determination if entry should be allowed. CBP regulations require that the forms be submitted as applicable at the time of entry; see 19 CFR 12.73 and 12.74.

Short Statement:
EPA is establishing new burden estimates as we combine the burden estimates for the two separate ICRs that currently cover the forms. As with prior ICRs that covered these forms, this combined ICR bases the burdens on an estimate of the actual forms that may be filled in and provided to CBP by importers. Because EPA does not collect the forms, nor does CBP having a tracking system to count the actual number of paper forms they collect, the number of responses is being carried over from the previous approved ICRs. As CBP mandates electronic filing later this year, we expect to be able to more accurately estimate the information collection burden.
