Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPAs proposed rule to revise greenhouse gas (GHG) standards for model year (MY) 2027 and promulgate new GHG standards for heavy-duty vehicles starting in MYs 2028 through 2032 (the Heavy-Duty GHG Phase 3 proposal). This proposed rule also includes updates to the advanced technology incentive program for electric vehicles (EVs), to eliminate the last MY of this program (2027) for certain types of electric heavy-duty vehicles. The Agency is also proposing additional revisions and clarifying and editorial amendments to certain highway heavy-duty vehicle provisions of 40 CFR part 1037 and certain test procedures for heavy-duty engines in 40 CFR part 1065. Finally, EPA is proposing to revise its regulations addressing preemption of state regulation of new locomotives and new engines used in locomotives at 40 CFR 1074. The proposed new standards would apply to manufacturers beginning with MY 2028. Data would be submitted annually, consistent with EPAs existing certification program requirements. Information activities associated with the proposed rule are largely covered by existing emission certification and reporting requirements for EPAs heavy-duty engine (HDE) and heavy-duty vehicle (HDV) emission control program. This information collection statement covers only the additional burden associated with the proposal: reviewing the proposed regulations, for all manufacturers, and complying with new battery health monitor and warranty provisions for electric vehicle manufacturers. Concerning other aspects of the proposal, manufacturers already submit the data that would be required for certification to the revised standards to EPAs certification system (under programmatic ICRs); there would be a change only to the specific data, not to its reporting. The existing programmatic information collection request is: EPA ICR Number 0783.65, OMB Control Number 2060-0104, Motor Vehicle Emission Certification and Fuel Economy Compliance, 40 CFR Parts 86 and 600. To avoid duplication, this collection request covers only the incremental burden associated with the heavy-duty GHG Phase 3 proposed rule.
