Under Section 206(a) of the Clean Air
Act (42 USC 7521), on-highway engine and vehicle manufacturers may
not legally introduce their products into US commerce unless EPA
has certified that their production complies with applicable
emission standards. Per section 207(a), original vehicle
manufacturers must warrant that vehicles are free from defects in
materials and workmanship that would cause the vehicle not to
comply with emission regulations during its useful life. Section
207(a) directs EPA to provide certification to those manufacturers
or builders of automotive aftermarket parts that demonstrate that
the installation and use of their products will not cause failure
of the engine or vehicle to comply with emission standards. An
aftermarket part is any part offered for sale for installation in
or on a motor vehicle after such vehicle has left the vehicle
manufacturer's production line (40 CFR 85.2113(b)). Participation
in the aftermarket certification program is voluntary. Aftermarket
part manufacturers or builders (manufacturers) electing to
participate conduct emission and durability testing as described in
40 CFR part 85, subpart V, and submit data about their products and
testing procedures. Although no such applications have been
received in recent years, the program is statutory and this ICR is
necessary to provide EPA the authority to collect the information
should such an application be received. The reporting and
recordkeeping burden covered by this ICR and the ICR for
Importation of Nonroad Engines and Recreational Vehicles (OMB
Control Number 2060-0320, EPA ICR Number 1723.09) is being
consolidated into a new ICR, Importation of On-highway Vehicles and
Nonroad Engines, Vehicles, and Equipment (OMB Control Number
2060-NEW, EPA ICR Number 2583.01). Once that overarching
consolidation ICR is approved by OMB, this ICR will be
discontinued.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
