Abstract:
This ICR covers five aspects of EPA's certification program for passenger cars, light-duty trucks, and highway motorcycles: 1) car and light truck fuel economy, 2) motorcycle certification, 3) the manufacturers' in-use testing program for cars and light trucks, 4) car and light truck emissions certification, and 5) defect and voluntary emission recall reports for cars, light trucks, and motorcycles. This renewal ICR reflects several changes approved in subsequent ICRs as well as other current testing burden data and adjustments.

Short Statement:
All elements of this collection have been reexamined and updated with the latest testing costs and labor estimations. The largest changes in this request are through 1) inclusion of costs and hours discussed in the fuel economy labeling rule but not included in the ICR at that time as falling outside the three-year ICR time horizon, 2) a more accurate estimate of the costs associated with testing for evaporative emissions in the emissions IC, and 3)adjusted testing levels based on query of MY 2007 certification data.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$11,140,000
