What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply to?
‘‘Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–
0548.’’
Affected Entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are individual
private owners of light-duty vehicles,
including passenger cars and light
trucks.
Title: Exhaust Emissions of Light-duty
Vehicles in Metropolitan Detroit.
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2363.01,
OMB Control No. 2060–NEW.
ICR Status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor,
and a person is not required to respond
to, a collection of information, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for
EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR,
after appearing in the Federal Register
when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9. In addition, they are displayed
either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means,
such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: In response to
recommendations from the National
Research Council of the National
Academy of Sciences, the EPA is
initiating a systematic data collection
designed to improve the methods and
tools used by the Agency to estimate
exhaust emissions as vehicles age. Data
to be collected include vehicle type,
vehicle characteristics, and
measurement of exhaust emissions.
One of the main issues in the study
of vehicle emissions is the difficulty in
acquiring representative results. Major
challenges include the diversity of
technology, the highly variable nature of
emissions, the complexity and expense
of measurement, difficulty in acquiring
and retaining engines or vehicles, and
the array of external variables that
influence emissions, ranging from
temperature to driver behavior. In
combination, these factors tend to limit
the numbers of vehicles that can be
included in a given study. Limited
sample sizes in combination with high
variability make emissions data
challenging to interpret.
The collection is a test program, to be
conducted by the Office of
Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ)
in the Office of Air and Radiation
(OAR). This study will be designed to
develop and test novel screening,
sampling and measurement procedures.
These approaches promise to
substantially reduce the cost of exhaust

emissions measurement as well as to
improve the accuracy of resulting
estimates.
An innovative feature of this project
will be the use of roadside remotesensing measurements to construct a
pool of vehicles from which vehicles
can be sampled for purposes of
recruitment and measurement using
portable emissions measurement
systems (PEMS). The acquisition of
remote-sensing measurements for
hydrocarbons, carbon-monoxide, and
oxides of nitrogen will provide an index
of emissions for all vehicles prior to
sampling and recruitment for more
intensive measurement. The index is
expected to facilitate recruitment of
vehicles with an emphasis on rare subpopulations such as high-emitting
vehicles, and provide a means to
appropriately relate measured vehicles
to the overall fleet.
Research questions for the project
include: (1) Can remote-sensing be used
as a reliable index of emissions across
the range of emissions? (2) Can PEMS
measure accurate emissions time series
for very clean vehicles, such as Tier 2
(Bins 2 and 3) or LEV–II (ULEV,
SULEV)? (3) How can portable
instruments be used to measure start
emissions? and (4) Can the emissions
index used for recruitment also serve as
a means to estimate potential nonresponse bias?
We plan to collect remote-sensing
measurements on approximately 30,000
vehicles, and from this pool, to recruit
approximately 100 vehicles for
measurement using PEMS. Participation
in the program will be voluntary. The
target population for the project will
include light-duty cars and trucks
certified to Tier 2 (Bins 5, 3 and 2) or
equivalent LEV–II standards (LEV,
ULEV or SULEV), respectively.
The information collection will
involve 250 respondents, requiring 360
hours to complete at a total cost to those
respondents of $9,500. For the Agency,
the collection will require 3,200 hours
to complete at a total cost of $250,000.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1.45 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal Agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to
respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 250.
Frequency of response: On Occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: One.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
360.
Estimated total annual costs: $9,500.
This includes an estimated burden
cost of $9,500 and an estimated cost of
$0 for capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
What Is the Next Step in the Process for
This ICR?
EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
