be collecting are available in the public docket for this ICR. The

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.)
manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a
certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they
intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of
conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all
applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of
conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to
determine if the required testing has been performed and the required
emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of
conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional
information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified
emissions standards throughout its useful life.

Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are on-highway motorcycle manufacturers and importers.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 86).
Estimated number of respondents: 95 (total).
Frequency of response: Annual, unless otherwise specified under 40
CFR part 86, subpart E.
Total estimated burden: 5,832 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,124,869 (per year), includes $31,998
annualized capital and $342,565 operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 379 hours but a
decrease of $63,760 in the total estimated cost from the previous ICR.
This increase in hours but decrease in total estimated cost is
primarily due to the inclusion of electric motorcycle manufacturers who
must certify their engine families but are not subject to exhaust or
evaporative emissions testing requirements.

Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air
