    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 in 40 CFR 
are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Form Numbers: Highway Motorcycle HC+NOx Average Exhaust Emissions 
Model Year Report (5900-339); Manufacturer Production Report for 
Engine/Equipment Manufacturers--Heavy-Duty, Nonroad, and Highway 
Motorcycles (5900-90); List of Emissions Related Components (5900-NEW); 
Catalyst Information (5900-464).
    Respondents/Affected Entities: On-highway motorcycle manufacturers 
and importers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.
    Frequency of Response: Quarterly and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 15,420 hours (per year).
    Total estimated cost: $741,499 (per year), includes $182,560 
annualized operation & maintenance costs, $97,644 annualized capital/
startup costs.
    Changes in the estimates: These estimates reflect updated 
assumptions about the number of manufacturers that will maintain their 
own testing and certification facility. Since the previous ICR was 
submitted, more manufacturers have been using contract test facilities 
and utilizing carry over data to meet certification and compliance 
requirements.
