    Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA has regulations 
establishing emission standards and other requirements for various 
classes of vehicles, engines, and evaporative emission component. These 
regulations require that compliance be demonstrated prior to EPA 
granting a ``Certificate of Conformity''. EPA charges fees for 
administering this certification program. In 2004 the fees program was 
expanded to include nonroad categories of vehicles and engines, such as 
several categories of marine engines, locomotives, non-road 
recreational vehicles, and many nonroad compression-ignition and spark-
ignition engines. Manufacturers and importers of covered vehicles, 
engines and components are required to pay the applicable certification 
fees prior to their certification applications being reviewed by the 
Agency. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c)) all 
information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be 
publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as 
confidential information prior to certification.
    Form Numbers: EPA MVECP Fee Filing Form (3520-29).
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of 
passenger cars, motorcycles, light trucks, heavy duty truck engines, 
nonroad vehicles or engines, and evaporative emissions components.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a 
benefit (40 CFR part 1027).
    Estimated number of respondents: 611 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,019 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $67,445 (per year), includes $11,411 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 92 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is based on the increase in the number 
applications for certification and the associated fees, updates and 
corrections that are filed by the manufacturer as part of the fee 
payment process.
