This information collection request (ICR) requests approval for an extension with modification of NHTSA’s currently approved ICR for NHTSA’s corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) program. NHTSA estimates that approximately 26 unique motor vehicle manufacturers (23 manufacturers required to comply with 49 CFR Part 537 CAFE reporting and 3 small volume motor vehicle manufacturers petitioning NHTSA for alternative standards) will respond to the information collection in each of the next three years. This ICR includes 14 mandatory information collections: 2 bi-annual reporting requirements, 10 additional as-needed reporting, and 2 information collections for a petition process. The reporting requirements in 49 CFR Part 537 obligate a manufacturer to submit reports to the Secretary of Transportation regarding whether the manufacturer will comply with an applicable CAFE standard for the model year for which the report is made; the actions a manufacturer has taken or intends to take to comply with the standard; and other information the Secretary requires by regulation. A manufacturer must submit a report containing the above information during the 30-day period before the beginning of each model year, and during the 30-day period beginning the 180th day of the model year. When a manufacturer decides that actions reported are not sufficient to ensure compliance with that standard, the manufacturer must report additional actions it intends to take to comply with the standard and include a statement about whether those actions are sufficient to ensure compliance. NHTSA is requesting approval for this information collection to be modified to reflect proposed changes to required CAFE reporting. The modifications include additional information that must be submitted in pre-model and mid-model year reports and new information to be submitted using a form titled “CAFE Credit Value Reporting Template.” The additional burden for the CAFE Credit Value Reporting Template is estimated to be 550 hours. NHTSA now estimates the total burden of this ICR to be 4,861 hours. This is a change of 843 hours (from 4,018 hours) and is a result of the collecting additional data elements as a result of the CAFE rulemaking and correcting some calculations errors from the prior ICR.

NHTSA estimates the total burden of this ICR to be 4,861 hours and $0. This is a change of 843 hours and $0 (from 4,018 hours and $0). Most of this additional burden, 550 hours, is a result of NHTSA’s NPRM proposing to require the use of a new CAFE Credit Value Reporting Template. An additional 268 hours are a result of increased trade contracts received by NHTSA since the last PRA. Five of the hours are a result of additional information to be collected in new data fields in the PMY and MMY reports and the remaining 2 hours are a result of correcting calculations errors from the prior ICR.
