Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to determine if the required testing has been performed and the required emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified emissions standards throughout its useful life.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an increase of 960 hours in the total estimated respondent burden and $259,886 in the total estimated respondent cost compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The EPA has not made any program changes since submitting the previous ICR renewal. The increase in burden hours and other changes to costs can be primarily attributed to the following factors: • An increase in manufacturers counted due to the addition of 13 new gas-powered motorcycle manufacturers and the inclusion of 27 electric motorcycle manufacturers (which were not included in the previous ICR). • A better understanding of how many manufacturers perform emissions testing in their own laboratories and how many engine families are certified by those manufacturers. • Refined calculations about the number of new engine families expected in the upcoming period versus the number of engine families that are expected to use carry-over data from the previous year. • Expanded EPA understanding of the total labor (increased) and labor mix (note inclusion of a new labor category for engineers) associated with certification tasks. • Natural cost inflation. • Updated (downward) estimates on the number of manufacturers that will carry out in-house testing versus those that will outsource the testing work. • Corrections made to calculation formulas.
