Title: Motor Vehicle Emissions and 

Fuel Economy Compliance: Light Duty 

Vehicles, Light Duty Trucks, and 

Highway Motorcycles (Renewal) 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0783.54, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0104 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2008. 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: Under the Clean Air Act (42 

U.S.C. 7521 et seq.), manufacturers of 

light duty vehicles (passenger cars), 

light trucks, and highway motorcycles 

must have a certificate of conformity 

issued by EPA covering any vehicle they 

intend to offer for sale. In addition, light 

duty vehicles and light truck 

manufacturers must also submit fuel 

economy information and reports 

required by the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act (49 U.S.C. 32901 et 

seq.). EPA reviews vehicle information 

and test data to determine if the vehicle 

design conforms to applicable 

requirements and to verify that the 

required testing has been performed. 

After certification, features of these 

programs covered by this ICR include 

the Manufacturers’ In-Use Testing 

Program for light-duty vehicles, and 

submission of Defect Reports and 

Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports for 

light-duty vehicles and highway 

motorcycles to EPA. Until a vehicle is 

available for purchase, information is 

confidential. Some proprietary 

information is permanently 

confidential. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 335 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 of light duty vehicles, 

light duty trucks, and highway 

motorcycles for sale in the United 

States. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

160. 

Frequency of Response: yearly and 

occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

645,259. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$57,764,535, which includes $5,348,350 

in capital and start-up costs, 

$14,364,735 in O&M costs, and 

$38,051,450 in labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 2,685 hours in the total 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 191 / Wednesday, October 1, 2008 / Notices 57095 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This change is the result of 

many corrections, with a moderate 

increase in light-duty emissions hours 

and smaller increases in the fuel 

economy, motorcycle, and defectreporting programs offset by a moderate 

decrease in IUVP hours reflecting 

efficiencies in that program due to the 

completion of EPA audits of 

manufacturer IUVP procedures and the 

maturing of the program, which was a 

startup at the time of the last renewal. 

Dated: September 25, 2008.

What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested In? 

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

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection. 

What Should I Consider When I 

Prepare My Comments for EPA? 

You may find the following 

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as
