Abstract: Manufacturers of new motor vehicles or engines,
manufacturers of vehicle or engine parts, fuel refiners, manufacturers
in the business of importing, modifying, or testing uncertified
vehicles for resale, and Independent Commercial Importers (ICIs) will
report and keep records of applications for pre-certification and
testing exemptions. They will submit reports as part of their testing
programs when an uncertified vehicle or engine is required. EPA will
use this information to ensure that uncertified vehicles or engines
from the pre-certification program or the testing exemption program are
introduced into commerce only on a temporary basis for legitimate
purposes.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a current
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
EPA would like to solicit comments to:
(i) evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
(iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
