Abstract: Under sections 202(a) and 202(k) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521), EPA finalized regulations to set more stringent vehicle emission standards beginning in model year 2017, as part of a systems approach to addressing the impacts of motor vehicles and fuels on air quality and public health. The Tier 3 vehicle emission standards, which are the subject of this ICR, reduce both tailpipe and evaporative emissions from passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty passenger vehicles, and some heavy-duty vehicles. The Tier 3 vehicle standards are harmonized with California's Low Emission Vehicle Program LEVIII standards, creating a federal vehicle emissions program allowing automakers to sell the same vehicles in all fifty states. This ICR covers the information that affected respondents must provide to the Agency. Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies set forth in CFR title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2).

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 14,475 hours in the total estimated burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is primarily due to the reduction in the burden estimated for the fuel economy information collection. The reduction in this information collection was offset by increases in the burden for Tier 3 emissions, in-use verification, and defect reporting information collections.
