This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPAs final rule establishing new, more protective emissions standards for criteria pollutants and greenhouse gases (GHG) for light-duty vehicles and Class 2b and 3 ("medium-duty") vehicles that will phase-in generally over model years 2027 through 2032. In addition, EPA is finalizing GHG program revisions in several areas, including off-cycle and air conditioning credits, the treatment of upstream emissions associated with zero-emission vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in compliance calculations, medium-duty vehicle incentive multipliers, and vehicle certification and compliance. EPA is also establishing new standards to control refueling emissions from incomplete medium-duty vehicles, and battery durability and warranty requirements for light-duty and medium-duty plug-in electric vehicles. EPA is also finalizing minor amendments to update program requirements related to aftermarket fuel conversions, importing vehicles and engines, evaporative emission test procedures, and test fuel specifications for measuring fuel economy. The new emission standards will apply to manufacturers beginning with MY 2027. Data would be submitted annually, consistent with EPAs existing certification program requirements.
Information activities associated with the final rule are largely covered by existing emission certification and reporting requirements for EPAs light-duty vehicle (LDV) and medium-duty (MDV) emission control program. To avoid duplication, this information collection statement covers only the incremental burden associated with the final rule, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. Concerning other aspects of the rule, 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 programmatic information collection request is: EPA ICR 0783.65, OMB Control Number 2060-0104, Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)
US Code:
