    Abstract: Under the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) 
manufacturers and importers of on-highway motorcycles must have a 
certificate of conformity issued by EPA covering any vehicle they 
intend to offer for sale in the United States. A certificate of 
conformity represents that the respective vehicle conforms to all 
applicable emissions requirements. In issuing a certificate of 
conformity, EPA reviews vehicle information and emissions test data to 
determine if the required testing has been performed and the required 
emissions levels have been demonstrated. After a certificate of 
conformity has been issued, the Agency may request additional 
information to verify that the product continues to meet its certified 
emissions standards throughout its useful life. 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 are 
listed in 40 CFR part 9. The current ICR for on-highway motorcycle 
emissions certification and compliance information is set to expire on 
September 30, 2016. This program was previously included under the 
current ICR for light-duty vehicle
