    Abstract: Importers into the U.S. of light duty vehicles, light 
duty trucks and on-road motorcycles or the corresponding engines are 
required to report and keep records regarding the imports. The 
collection of this information is mandatory to insure compliance with 
Federal emissions requirements. Joint EPA and U.S. Customs Service 
regulations at 40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73 and 19 CFR 12.74, 
promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act sections 203 and 208, 
give authority for the collection of this information. The information 
is used by program personnel to ensure that all Federal emissions 
requirements are met and by State regulatory agencies, businesses and 
individuals to verify whether vehicles are in compliance. Any 
information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of 
confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies set forth 
in the Code of Federal Regulations, title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 
subpart B-- Confidentiality of Business Information, and the public is 
not permitted access to information containing personal or 
organizational identifiers.
    Form Numbers: EPA Form 3520-1, EPA Form 3520-8.
    Respondents/affected entities: Importers (including Independent 
Commercial Importers) into the U.S. of light duty vehicles, light duty 
trucks and on-road motorcycles or the corresponding engines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73 and 19 CFR 12.74).
    Estimated number of respondents: 10,000 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 8,040 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $460,412 (per year), which includes $141,493 
annualized capital and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,310 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
responses expected.
