This supporting statement is a revision to EPA ICR Number 1684.08 which estimates the burden associated with emission certification, compliance, and in-use testing requirements affecting manufacturers 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 requirements.
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.
