    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

[[Page 74490]]

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.
    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 (5900-653); 
Catalyst Information (5900-464); AECD Reporting Template (5900-654)
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are on-highway motorcycle manufacturers and importers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 86).
    Estimated number of respondents: 95 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual, unless otherwise specified under 40 
CFR part 86, subpart E.
    Total estimated burden: 5832 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,124,869 (per year), which includes $31,998 
annualized capital and $342,565 operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 379 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden but a decrease of $63,760 in the 
total estimated respondent cost compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase in hours but decrease in total estimated 
cost is primarily due to the inclusion of electric motorcycle 
manufacturers who must certify their engine families but are not 
subject to exhaust or evaporative emissions testing requirements.
