Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are proposing Phase 2 standards to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption in the medium- and heavy-duty (HD) trucking sector. As a result of these proposed standards, HD engine and HD vehicle manufacturers would be subject to new testing, reporting, recordkeeping, and labeling requirements. The paperwork and cost burdens associated with these requirements are identified in this ICR, which is an extension of a currently approved ICR that covers the HD Phase 1 program. The cost burden is also adjusted to account for amendments made to the Phase 1 program which reduce final reporting provisions.
