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 U.S.C. 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.
Form Numbers: 3520-29.
Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of
passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy-duty truck engines,
nonroad vehicles or engines, and evaporative emission components are
required to receive a certificate of conformity from EPA prior to
selling or introducing these products into commerce in the U.S.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit (40 CFR part 1027).
Estimated number of respondents: 579 (total).
Frequency of response: An average of approximately nine responses
per respondent per year.
Total estimated burden: 1022 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $77,444 (per year), includes $12,364
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: 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.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
