.This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with EPAs proposed rule for new, more stringent emissions standards for greenhouse gases (GHG) and criteria pollutants for light-duty vehicles and Class 2b and 3 ("medium-duty") vehicles that would phase-in over model years 2027 through 2032. In addition, EPA is proposing GHG program revisions in several areas, including off-cycle and air conditioning credits, the treatment of zero emissions vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in fleet average calculations, and vehicle certification and compliance. EPA is also proposing new standards to control refueling emissions from incomplete medium-duty vehicles, and battery durability and warranty requirements for light-duty and medium-duty plug-in vehicles.The proposed standards would apply to manufacturers beginning with MY 2027. Data would be submitted annually, consistent with EPAs existing certification program requirements. Information activities associated with the proposed rule are largely covered by existing emission certification and reporting requirements for EPAs light-duty vehicle (LDV) and medium-duty (MDV) emission control program. To avoid duplication, this information collection statement covers only the incremental burden associated with the proposal, as briefly described in Section 12 below and in more detail in Supplemental Information, Section 8. Concerning other aspects of the proposal, manufacturers already submit the data that would be required for certification to the revised standards to EPAs certification system (under programmatic ICRs); there would be a change only to the specific data, not to its reporting. The programmatic information collection request is:EPA ICR 0783.65, OMB Control Number 2060-0104, Motor Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Economy Compliance (Renewal).
