Title: Application for Motor Vehicle Emission Certification and

Fuel Economy Labeling (EPA ICR #783.33; OMB #2060-0104). This ICR

requests renewal of an existing clearance.

Abstract: Motor vehicle and motor vehicle engine manufacturers

maintain records and submit detailed reports to EPA describing their

planned product line with a description of emission control systems,

and test data organized by ``engine family'' groups expected to have

similar emissions and ``model types'' with similar fuel economy.

Manufacturers must maintain records on information submitted to EPA.

The EPA, the IRS and the DOT use the information to verify compliance

with the Clean Air Act, gas guzzler taxes in the Omnibus Reconciliation

Act, 1990, and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards respectively.

State and local governments also use the information in their

inspection/maintenance programs. More specifically, the EPA uses the

information to issue certificates of conformity and fuel economy

labels, to determine that manufacturers conducted appropriate tests and

verify that vehicles comply with prescribed emission standards.

Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection

of information is estimated to average [[Page 29590]] 16,010 hours per

response, including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing

data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing

and reviewing the collection of information. In addition, each

respondent will spend an estimated 4981 hours per year conducting tests

and 1522 hours per year maintaining records required for maintaining

the records required for reporting and enforcement.

Respondents: Manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle

engines.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 68.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 1,530,900 hours.
