Sec. 7552. Motor vehicle compliance program fees


(a) Fee collection

    Consistent with section 9701 of title 31, the Administrator may 
promulgate (and from time to time revise) regulations establishing fees 
to recover all reasonable costs to the Administrator associated with--
        (1) new vehicle or engine certification under section 7525(a) of 
    this title or part C of this subchapter,
        (2) new vehicle or engine compliance monitoring and testing 
    under section 7525(b) of this title or part C of this subchapter, 
    and
        (3) in-use vehicle or engine compliance monitoring and testing 
    under section 7541(c) of this title or part C of this subchapter.

The Administrator may establish for all foreign and domestic 
manufacturers a fee schedule based on such factors as the Administrator 
finds appropriate and equitable and nondiscriminatory, including the 
number of vehicles or engines produced under a certificate of 
conformity. In the case of heavy-duty engine and vehicle manufacturers, 
such fees shall not exceed a reasonable amount to recover an appropriate 
portion of such reasonable costs.

(b) Special Treasury fund

    Any fees collected under this section shall be deposited in a 
special fund in the United States Treasury for licensing and other 
services which thereafter shall be available for appropriation, to 
remain available until expended, to carry out the Agency's activities 
for which the fees were collected.

(c) Limitation on fund use

    Moneys in the special fund referred to in subsection (b) of this 
section shall not be used until after the first fiscal year commencing 
after the first July 1 when fees are paid into the fund.

(d) Administrator's testing authority

    Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to limit the 
Administrator's authority to require manufacturer or confirmatory 
testing as provided in this part.
