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 heavy-duty vehicles (HDV). 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 2734.03, revises EPA ICR 2734.02 (OMB Control Number 2060-0753), originally prepared for EPAs 2024 HD Phase 3 (HDP3) rulemaking and updates the information collection burden contained in that request. EPA ICR 2734.02 (the 2024 ICR) contained the information collection requirements for EPAs HDV GHG emissions program adopted in the 2024 rulemaking. This ICR 2734.03 revises the 2024 ICR to remove the activities associated with EPAs proposal to remove GHG regulations, as briefly described in Section 12 and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. There were no non-GHG information collection activities included in the 2024 rulemaking or in the 2024 ICR, and therefore, the net effect of this revised ICR is to remove the entire information collection burden contained in the 2024 ICR.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: This revised Information Collection Request reflects the estimated burden after removing heavy-duty GHG reporting requirements from EPA ICR 2734.02 (OMB Control Number 2060-0753). 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 total labor burden to respondents or recordkeepers resulting from the collection of information is 0 hours because all GHG regulations adopted in 2024 are proposed to be removed and there were no non-GHG reporting requirements associated with activities included in the original Information Collection Request.
