Abstract: EPA is finalizing more stringent vehicle emissions standards and reduced sulfur content of gasoline beginning in 2017, as part of a systems approach to addressing the impacts of motor vehicles and fuels on air quality and public health. The final gasoline sulfur standard (see ICR 2459.01) would make emission control systems more effective for both existing and new vehicles, and would enable more stringent vehicle emissions standards. The final vehicle standards, which are the subject of this ICR, would reduce both tailpipe and evaporative emissions from passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles, and some heavy-duty vehicles. These final vehicle standards are intended to harmonize with California’s Low Emission Vehicle Program – LEVIII standards, thus creating a federal vehicle emissions program that would allow automakers to sell the same vehicles in all fifty states. The final vehicle standards would be implemented over the same timeframe as the greenhouse gas/fuel efficiency standards for light-duty vehicles, as part of a comprehensive approach toward regulating emissions from motor vehicles.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden change is from new capital and operations and maintenance costs and labor hours associated with implementing the new programs detailed in this draft ICR. The increase in burden is due largely to new testing, an increase in the estimated (high estimate) cost of information system upgrades for industry, and familiarization. There is also a slight increase in the reporting burden associated with the new rule.
