Abstract: This ICR is a revision to burden associated with emission certification, compliance, and in-use testing requirements affecting manufacturing of on-highway heavy-duty engines. EPA is proposing new requirements for on-highway heavy-duty engine manufacturers to install on-board diagnostic (OBD) systems on these engines to monitor the performance of the emission control systems on these engines. These proposed requirements will necessitate some additional reporting and recordkeeping requiremnts.
