Abstract: The ICR covers 11 information collections: two required projection reports (pre-model year and mid-model year reports), eight additional compliance submissions that are required to be submitted under certain circumstances, and one information collection for a petition process that is required to receive a benefit. NHTSA is requesting approval for the modification of the ICR to cover proposed changes in its notice of proposed rulemaking, including both additions and removals to required reporting. Specifically, the modifications include: (1) amending reporting elements related to vehicle classification on the pre-model year and mid-model year reports; (2) removing data elements related to AC and OC fuel consumption incentive values (FCIVs), in line with the AC and OC FCIV alternative pathways ending with MY 2026; (3) removing reporting requirements for credit trading in line with NHTSA’s proposal to end credit trading with MY 2027, which includes credit trade contracts, credit allocation plans, credit transaction requests, and credit value reports; and (4) updating the pre-model year and mid-model year reporting templates to align with revised requirements. NHTSA is also removing reporting related to fuel consumption incentive values earned by full-size pickup trucks, which ended in MY 2024. As a result of these changes, NHTSA now estimates the total annual burden associated with this ICR to be 4,576 hours, which is a decrease of 285 hours from the previous estimate of 4,861 hours. This reduction reflects the combined effects of the reporting modifications proposed in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) stage of the Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule III for Model Years 2022–2031 Passenger Cars and Light Trucks as well as certain requirements having been phased out by previous rulemakings.
