Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to determine if the required testing has been performed and the required emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified emissions standards throughout its useful life. 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 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Form Numbers: Highway Motorcycle HC+NOx Average Exhaust Emissions Model Year Report (5900–339); Manufacturer Production Report for Engine/Equipment Manufacturers— Heavy-Duty, Nonroad, and Highway Motorcycles (5900–90); List of Emissions Related Components (5900– NEW); Catalyst Information (5900–464). VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Mar 27, 2020 Jkt 250001 Respondents/Affected Entities: Onhighway motorcycle manufacturers and importers. Estimated Number of Respondents: 55. Frequency of Response: Quarterly and annually. Total estimated burden: 15,420 hours (per year). Total estimated cost: $741,499 (per year), includes $182,560 annualized operation & maintenance costs, $97,644 annualized capital/startup costs. Changes in the estimates: These estimates reflect updated assumptions about the number of manufacturers that will maintain their own testing and certification facility. Since the previous ICR was submitted, more manufacturers have been using contract test facilities and utilizing carry over data to meet certification and compliance requirements.

Abstract: EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle labeling, and reporting requirements for lightduty vehicle manufacturers. This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): (1) Fuel Economy; (2) Manufacturers’ In-Use VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Mar 27, 2020 Jkt 250001 Verification Program; (3) Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; (4) Defect Reports and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; (5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, (6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards. This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and information submitted during and after production. Processing and review of this information is conducted by the LightDuty Vehicle Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation US EPA. Information collected consists of descriptions of motor vehicles (including vehicle specifications, i.e. weight and road load forces, required for testing and emission control system components), test results, defect and recall reports, and sales data (used to determine compliance with fleet average standards). EPA performs tests to confirm the emission and fuel economy results which have been generated by the manufacturer at their test facilities. EPA performs confirmatory testing on 10% to 15% of all the vehicle tests the manufacturers perform. All of these data are electronically submitted to the Agency. This ICR covers the information that affected respondents must provide to the Agency. Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies set forth in CFR title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B— Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2).

    Abstract: EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas 
emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty 
trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean 
Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the 
results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel 
economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy 
label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test 
procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle 
labeling, and reporting requirements for light-duty vehicle 
manufacturers.
    This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): (1) 
Fuel Economy; (2) Manufacturers' In-Use Verification Program; (3) 
Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; (4) Defect Reports 
and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; (5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, 
(6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards.
    This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle 
manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and 
information submitted during and after production. Processing and 
review of this information is conducted by the Light-Duty Vehicle 
Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, 
Office of Air and Radiation US EPA.
    Information collected consists of descriptions of motor vehicles 
(including vehicle specifications, i.e. weight and road load forces, 
required for testing and emission control system components), test 
results, defect and recall reports, and sales data (used to determine 
compliance with fleet average standards). EPA performs tests to confirm 
the emission and fuel economy results which have been generated by the 
manufacturer at their test facilities. EPA performs confirmatory 
testing on 10% to 15% of all the vehicle tests the manufacturers 
perform. All of these data are electronically submitted to the Agency.
    This ICR covers the information that affected respondents must

which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to 
policies set forth in CFR title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2).

    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of light-duty 
passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles 
and some heavy-duty vehicles.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required in order to obtain or

    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 16,138 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
