Abstract: Under Section 206(a) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C.
7521), on-highway engine and vehicle manufacturers may not legally
introduce their products into U.S. commerce unless EPA has certified
that their production complies with applicable emission standards. Per
section 207(a), original vehicle manufacturers must warrant that
vehicles are free from defects in materials and workmanship that would
cause the vehicles not to comply with emission regulations during their
useful life. Section 207(a) directs EPA to provide certification to
those manufacturers or builders of automotive aftermarket parts that
demonstrate that the installation and use of their products will not
cause failure of the engine or result in the vehicle not complying with
emission standards. An aftermarket part is any part offered for sale
for installation in or on a motor vehicle after such vehicle has left
the vehicle manufacturer's production line (40 CFR 85.2113(b)).
Participation in the aftermarket certification program is voluntary.
Due to the fact that EPA has received only two aftermarket part
certification applications since 1989, the Agency does not expect to
receive any applications in the next three years. The purpose of this
ICR renewal is to preserve EPA's authority to receive such an
application in the event that one is submitted. Consequently, for the
purposes of this information collection request, EPA has assumed that
one manufacturer will apply for aftermarket part certification during
the three-year period covered by this collection.
Aftermarket part manufacturers or builders (manufacturers) electing
to participate conduct emission and durability testing as described in
40 CFR part 85, subpart V, and submit data about their products and
testing procedures. Any information submitted to the Agency for which a
claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies
set forth in CFR title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2).
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or builders of
automotive aftermarket parts.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit (Clean Air Act.)
Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 547 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $37,208 (per year), which includes $1,955
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
