Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are jointly issuing new standards to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel consumption in the heavy-duty (HD) trucking sector. As a result of these standards, HD engine and HD vehicle manufacturers will be subject to new testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. The paperwork and cost burdens associated with these requirements are identified in this ICR.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 8,379 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The previous ICR approval period included estimates for required start-up and capital costs associated with the purchase of new testing equipment needed by manufacturers to implement the program in 2014. Due to the implementation of the program, the start-up and capital costs were estimated to be higher in the first year of the program and lower in the years that followed. Table 6-4 in the supporting statement contains the burden and costs that were incurred in 2014, but will not be incurred in 2015-2017, the period of this approval; therefore, they are not included in this renewal ICR.
