Abstract: The Clean Air Act requires that on-highway vehicles and motorcycles, and nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment imported into the U.S. either comply with applicable emission requirements or qualify for an applicable exemption or exclusion. The Compliance Division (CD) in the EPAs Office of Air and Radiation maintains and makes available instruments to importers to help facilitate importation of products at U.S. Borders. EPA Form 3520-1 is used by importers of on-highway vehicles and motorcycles, and EPA Form 3520-21 is used by importers of nonroad vehicles, engines and equipment. In addition, this ICR covers the burden of EPA Form 3520-8 which is used to request final importation clearance for Independent Commercial Importers (ICIs) of on-highway vehicles who are required to bring the on-highway vehicles into compliance and provide emissions test results.

Short Statement: With the deployment of the electronic reporting, we are now able to have a much more accurate count of the number of forms that are being filed. As a result, we now know that number of entries being filed is around 160,000 per year vs the 14,000 we had been estimating in previous ICRs. As a result, the burden estimates have increased significantly due to having a more accurate account of how many forms are being filed.
