Title: EPA’s In-Use Vehicle and 

Engine Testing Programs (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0222.09, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0086. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on February 28, 2010. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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, 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: EPA has an ongoing 

program to evaluate the emission 

performance of in-use light-duty 

(passenger car and light truck) motor 

vehicles. This program operates in 

conjunction with testing of prototype 

vehicles prior to use (manufacturer and 

EPA confirmatory testing for 

certification) and the mandatory 

manufacturer’s in-use testing program 

(IUVP) for light-duty vehicles. They 

derive from the Clean Air Act’s charge 

that EPA insure that motor vehicles 

comply with emissions requirements 

throughout their useful lives. The 

primary purpose of the program is 

information gathering. Nevertheless, 

EPA can require a recall if it receives 

information, from whatever source, 

including in-use testing, that a 

‘‘substantial number’’ of any class or 

category of vehicles or engines, although 

properly maintained and used, do not 

conform to the emission standards, 

when in actual use throughout their 

useful life. 

The program can be broken down into 

three closely-related headings. The first 

is a surveillance program that selects 

approximately 50 classes of passenger 

cars and light trucks for in-use testing, 

at EPA’s testing facility, totaling 

approximately 150 vehicles (three in 

each class on average). In rare cases 

surveillance testing may be followed by 

compliance testing (only four such 

classes in the last five years). The 

purpose of a compliance phase is to 

develop additional information related 

to test failures observed in a class 

during surveillance testing. The second 

heading is testing of a subset of 

approximately 35 vehicles from the 

surveillance recruitment for operation of 

on-board diagnostics (OBD) systems. 

The third category is special 

investigations involving testing of 

vehicles to address specific issues. The 

number of vehicles procured under this 

category varies widely from year to year, 

but this request asks for approval of the 

information burden corresponding to 25 

such vehicles per year for the next three 

years. 

Participation in the light-duty 

surveys, as well as the vehicle testing, 

is strictly voluntary. A group of 25 to 50 

potential participants is identified from 

state vehicle registration records. They 

are asked to return a postcard indicating 

their willingness to participate and if so, 

to verify some limited vehicle 

information. Three of those who return 

the card are called and asked about a 

half dozen questions concerning vehicle 

condition, and operation and 

maintenance. Additional groups of 

potential participants may be contacted 

until a sufficient number of vehicles has 

been obtained. Owners verify the survey 

information when they deliver their 

vehicles to EPA, voluntarily provide 

maintenance records for copying, and 

receive a loaner car and/or a cash 

incentive. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average less than one hour 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 36 / Wednesday, February 23, 2011 / Notices 10025 

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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Individual and fleet owners of motor 

vehicles and engines. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 4,285 owners/lessees 

receive EPA’s solicitations to participate 

and approximately 164 do participate. 

Frequency of Response: On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

521. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$11,295, including $0 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 90 responses and 98 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This decrease is entirely due to removal 

of the heavy-duty and non-road portions 

of this ICR, which will henceforth be 

covered under a different information 

collection request (OMB Control 

Number 2060–0287).
