Normally, comments will be posted 

within a few days of being submitted. 

However, if large volumes of comments 

are being processed simultaneously, 

your comment may not be viewable for 

up to several weeks. Please keep the 

comment tracking number that 

Regulations.gov provides after you have 

successfully uploaded your comment. 

Submitting Comments via Email, Hand 

Delivery/Courier, or Mail 

Comments and documents submitted 

via email, hand delivery, or mail also 

will be posted to Regulations.gov. If you 

do not want your personal contact 

information to be publicly viewable, do 

not include it in your comment or any 

accompanying documents. Instead, 

provide your contact information in a 

cover letter, including your first and last 

names, email address, telephone 

number, and optional mailing address. 

The cover letter will not be publicly 

viewable as long as it does not include 

any comments. 

Include contact information each time 

you submit comments, data, documents, 

and other information to DOE. If you 

submit via mail or hand delivery/

courier, please provide all items on a 

CD, if feasible. It is not necessary to 

submit printed copies. No facsimiles 

(faxes) will be accepted. 

Comments, data, and other 

information submitted to DOE 

electronically should be provided in 

PDF (preferred), Microsoft Word or 

Excel, WordPerfect, or text (ASCII) file 

format. Provide documents that are not 

secured, that are written in English, and 

that are free of any defects or viruses. 

Documents should not contain special 

characters or any form of encryption 

and, if possible, they should carry the 

electronic signature of the author. 

Campaign Form Letters 

Please submit campaign form letters 

by the originating organization in 

batches of between 50 to 500 form 

letters per PDF or as one form letter 

with a list of supporters’ names 

compiled into one or more PDFs. This 

reduces comment processing and 

posting time. 

Confidential Business Information 

According to 10 CFR 1004.11, any 

person submitting information that he 

or she believes to be confidential and 

exempt by law from public disclosure 

should submit via email, postal mail, or 

hand delivery/courier two well-marked 

copies: one copy of the document 

marked confidential including all the 

information believed to be confidential, 

and one copy of the document marked 

non-confidential with the information 

believed to be confidential deleted. 

Submit these documents via email or on 

a CD, if feasible. DOE will make its own 

determination about the confidential 

status of the information and treat it 

according to its determination. 

Factors of interest to DOE when 

evaluating requests to treat submitted 

information as confidential include: (1) 

A description of the items; (2) whether 

and why such items are customarily 

treated as confidential within the 

industry; (3) whether the information is 

generally known by or available from 

other sources; (4) whether the 

information has previously been made 

available to others without obligation 

concerning its confidentiality; (5) an 

explanation of the competitive injury to 

the submitting person which would 

result from public disclosure; (6) when 

such information might lose its 

confidential character due to the 

passage of time; and (7) why disclosure 

of the information would be contrary to 

the public interest. 

It is DOE’s policy that all comments 

may be included in the public docket, 

without change and as received, 

including any personal information 

provided in the comments (except 

information deemed to be exempt from 

public disclosure).

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

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 ensures 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 40 classes of passenger 

cars and light trucks for in-use testing, 

at EPA’s testing facility, totaling 

approximately 120 vehicles (three in 

each class on average). In some cases 

surveillance testing may be followed by 

compliance testing. The purpose of a 

compliance phase is to develop 

additional information related to test 

failures observed in a class during 

surveillance testing. This program that 

selects approximately 3 classes of 10 

passenger cars and light trucks for inuse testing, at EPA’s testing facility, 

totaling approximately 30 vehicles. The 

second heading is testing of a subset of 

vehicles from the surveillance 

recruitment for operation of on-board 

diagnostics (OBD) systems. EPA does 

not currently recruit vehicles for OBD 

testing but includes the testing in this 

ICR in the event that OBD testing is 

resumed. 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 10 

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 form 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 several 

survey questions concerning vehicle 

condition, and operation and 

maintenance. Additional groups of 

potential participants may be contacted 

until a sufficient number of vehicles 

have been obtained. Owners verify the 

survey information when they deliver 

their vehicles to EPA, release the 

vehicle to EPA, voluntarily provide 

maintenance records for copying, 

receive a cash incentive and, if 

requested, a loaner car, then receive the 

vehicle from EPA at the conclusion of 

the testing. 

Form Numbers: 5900–304, 5900–305, 

5900–306, 5900–307, 5900–308, 5900– 

309 

Frequency of response: On Occasion. 

Respondents/affected entities: A 

group of 25 to 50 potential participants 

is identified from state vehicle 

registration records. They are asked to 

return a form 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 several questions 

concerning vehicle condition, and 

operation and maintenance. Additional 

groups of potential participants may be 

contacted until a sufficient number of 

vehicles have been obtained. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

Approximately 3917 owners/lessees 

receive EPA’s solicitations to participate 

and approximately 160 do participate. 

Total estimated burden: 505 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $11,277. This 

includes an estimated burden cost of 

$11,277 and an estimated cost of $0 for 

capital investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 368 responses and 16 hours 

in the total estimated respondent 

burden compared with that identified in 

the ICR currently approved by OMB. 

This decrease is due to an adjustment of 

testing estimates based on the number 

and type of testing that has been 

conducted in this program over the past 

few years.
