Abstract: This ICR covers information collection activities associated with EPAs proposed rule to reconsider the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding (endangerment finding), with respect to light- and medium-duty vehicles (LMDV). EPA is proposing the removal of all regulations that require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to measure, report, or comply with standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed rule would include the removal of regulations in Parts 85, 86, 600, 1036, 1037, and 1039 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that pertain to the control of GHG emissions from highway light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, such as emission standards, test procedures, averaging, banking, and trading (ABT) reporting, and or fleet-average emission requirements. As a result of the proposed changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers would no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle, including model years manufactured prior to the proposal. However, EPA is not reopening and retains, without modification regulations necessary for criteria pollutant and air toxic measurement and standards, Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing, and associated fuel economy labeling requirements. This Information Collection Request, EPA ICR 2750.03, revises EPA ICR 2750.02 (OMB Control Number 2060-0764), originally prepared for EPAs 2024 LMDV vehicle rulemaking and updates the information collection burden contained in that request. EPA ICR 2750.02 (the 2024 ICR) contained the information collection requirements for EPAs criteria pollutant and GHG emissions programs adopted in the 2024 rulemaking. This ICR 2759.03, revises the 2024 ICR to remove the activities associated with EPAs proposal to remove GHG regulations, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. The information collection burden for the remaining non-GHG regulations originally set out in the original Information Collection Request EPA ICR 2750.02 would remain, and manufacturers would continue to be required to submit that data to EPAs certification system. There were no information collection activities related to Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing and associated fuel economy labeling in the original Information Collection Request, EPA ICR 2750.02.

Short Statement: This action is expected to be an Executive Order 14192 deregulatory action. This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPA’s proposed rule, Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and Motor Vehicle Emission Standards Reconsideration, with respect to light-duty vehicles. EPA is proposing the removal of all regulations that require new motor vehicle and new motor vehicle engine manufacturers to measure, report, or comply with standards for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As a result of the proposed changes, engine and vehicle manufacturers would no longer have any future obligations for the measurement, control, and reporting of GHG emissions for any highway engine and vehicle, including model years manufactured prior to the proposal. However, EPA is not reopening and retains, without modification, regulations necessary for criteria pollutant and air toxic measurement and standards, Corporate Average Fuel Economy testing, and associated fuel economy labeling requirements. This information collection statement removes from EPA ICR No.2750.02 the information collection burden associated with the proposal to remove portions of the Agency’s light-duty emission control program. Other aspects of the Agency’s light-duty emission control program included in EPA ICR 2750.02 remain intact.
