Abstract:
As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA has regulations establishing emission standards and other requirements for various classes of vehicles, engines, and evaporative emission components. These regulations require a manufacturer to demonstrate compliance prior to EPA granting it a Certificate of Conformity. EPA charges fees for administering this certification program. In 2004 and subsequently in 2008 the fees program was expanded to include nonroad categories of vehicles and engines, such as several categories of marine engines, locomotives, non-road recreational vehicles, many nonroad compression-ignition and spark-ignition engines and evaporative emission components. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, engines and components are required to pay the applicable certification fees prior to their certification applications being reviewed by the Agency. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 USC 7542(c)) all information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as confidential information prior to certification.

Short Statement:
There is a slight increase of three hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This slight increase is due to the variability in the number of certificates and, therefore, the number of fees paid from year to year. The estimate of the costs associated with the fees program have increased from $67,445 to $77,444 due to wage estimate increases.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$248,551
