*Title:*                     Motor Vehicle and Engine Compliance Program Fees (Renewal).                 

*ICR numbers:*                     EPA ICR No. 2080.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0545.                 

                    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2007. 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 charges user fees for administering its vehicle and engine certification programs. In 2004 the fees were extended to include certification applications for recently regulated categories of off-road vehicles and engines. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles and engines are required to pay the applicable certification fee prior to their certification applications being reviewed. This involves submitting payments along with a filing form identifying the engine family to be covered by the fee. There are also correction and refund forms. This ICR estimates the paperwork burden of submitting these fees and associated forms. This information collection covers the entire certification fees program, both on-road and off-road.                 

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.3 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.                 

*Respondents/Affected Entities:*                     Manufacturers or importers of passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy duty truck engines, and non-road vehicles or engines required to receive a certificate of conformity from EPA prior to selling or introducing these products into commerce in the U.S.                 

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     419.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     On occasion.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     694.8.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $46,198, including $11,028 in O&M costs and no startup or capital costs.                 

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase of 65.8 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to use of actual counts, rather than projections, of fee forms submitted, and to an increase in the estimated time required to process reduced fee and refund requests.
