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.
These estimates reflect an
update to the previous cost estimates for on-highway motorcycles
previously culled and compiled for the current ICR for highway
motorcycle certification and compliance. Previously, we may have
provided estimates that were not accurately compiled for the ICR.
In an effort to provide accurate calculations, this ICR has revised
the number of responses to accurate reflect the total sum of
required for all respondents.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
