Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal)

EPA sets exhaust, evaporative, and greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles (LDVs) and light-duty trucks (LDTs) based on the authority granted to the Agency by the Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition, light-duty vehicle manufacturers use the results from the exhaust emission tests to calculate vehicle fuel economy. The fuel economy results are used to calculate fuel economy label values according to EPA regulations. EPA regulations define test procedures, in-use testing requirements, calculation methods, vehicle labeling, and reporting requirements for light-duty vehicle manufacturers. This ICR is organized into six information collections (ICs): 1) Fuel Economy; 2) Manufacturers In-Use Verification Program; 3) Light-Duty Vehicles and Light-Duty Trucks Emissions; 4) Defect Reports and Voluntary Emissions Recall Reports; 5) Fuel Economy Labeling; and, 6) Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards. Previous ICRs in the 0783 ICR series included the on-highway motorcycle certification and compliance program. Starting with this renewal of ICR 0783 the on-highway motorcycle IC was transferred on 5/19/2017 under a separate ICR (ICR 2535.02, OMB 2060-0710). This ICR covers the application submitted by light-duty vehicle manufacturers prior to production as well as various reports and information submitted during and after production. Processing and review of this information is conducted by the Light-Duty Vehicle Center, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation US EPA.

The latest form for Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal) expires 2026-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202003-2060-015.
