Title: Information Requirements for Importation of Nonconforming
Vehicles (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0010.12, OMB Control No. 2060-0095.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: Importers into the U.S. of light-duty vehicles, light-
duty trucks, and on-road motorcycles, or the corresponding engines, are
required to report and keep records regarding the imports. The
collection of this information is mandatory to insure compliance with
Federal emissions requirements. Joint EPA and U.S. Customs Service
regulations at 40 CFR 85.1501 et seq., 19 CFR 12.73, and 19 CFR 12.74,
promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act sections 203 and 208,
give authority for the collection of this information. The information
is used by program personnel to ensure that Federal emissions
requirements are met, and by state regulatory agencies, businesses, and
individuals to verify whether vehicles are in compliance. Any
information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to policies set forth
in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B-- Confidentiality of Business
Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR part 2), and the public is not permitted
access to information containing personal or organizational
identifiers.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.76
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Importers (including Independent
Commercial Importers) of light duty vehicles or engines, light duty
trucks or engines, and highway motorcycles or engines.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 12,005.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,350.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $535,050, including $370,803 in labor
costs, $73,353 in annualized capital/startup costs, and $90,894 in
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 866 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to use of revised estimates,
based on more recent information on the hours associated with
conducting tests, and to annualization of capital costs consistent with
the treatment of other motor vehicle testing costs by EPA.
Dated: June 17, 2010.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
