Title:
Emission
Control
System
Performance
Warranty
Regulations
and
Voluntary
Aftermarket
Part
Certification
Program
(
Renewal)

Abstract:
Per
sections
207(
a)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
manufacturers
or
builders
of
automotive
aftermarket
parts
may
seek
emissions
compliance
certification
if
they
can
demonstrate
that
their
product
is
comparable
in
emission
performance
and
durability
to
the
original
parts
they
replace.
To
apply
for
a
certificate
of
conformity,
manufacturers
submit
descriptions
of
their
product
and
emission
and
durability
test
results,
among
other
information
items.

The
information
is
collected
by
the
Outreach
and
Planning
Group,
Certification
and
Compliance
Division,
Office
of
Transportation
and
Air
Quality,
Office
of
Air
and
Radiation.

Confidentiality
of
proprietary
information
submitted
by
manufacturers
is
granted
in
accordance
with
the
Freedom
of
Information
Act,
EPA
regulations
at
40
CFR
part
2,
and
class
determinations
issued
by
EPA's
Office
of
General
Counsel.

An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
4
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
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.

Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
258
hours
per
respondent.
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;
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
automotive
aftermarket
parts
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
1
Frequency
of
Response:
On
occasion
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
258
Estimated
Total
Annual
Cost:
$
12,000
includes
$
0
annualized
capital/
startup
costs,

$
1,000
annual
O&
M
costs
and
$
11,000
annual
labor
costs.

Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
1464
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
is
due
to
a
change
in
the
estimated
number
of
responses.
The
decrease
in
burden
is,
therefore,
due
to
an
5
adjustment
to
the
estimates.
