SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Investigation into Possible Noncompliance of Motor Vehicles;
OMB Control Number 2060-0086; expiration date June 30, 2002, EPA ICR
Number 0222.06. This is a request for extension of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: EPA tests in-use vehicles to verify that they meet
emission standards during their useful lives. Vehicle types that do not
comply are subject to recall and repair at the manufacturer's expense.
In order to insure that appropriate vehicles are tested, EPA must make
a very limited inquiry of their owners/lessees concerning vehicle
condition.
Information collected is used to assure that vehicles procured meet
certain criteria. For example, since a manufacturer's responsibility to
recall passenger cars is limited to 10 years of age or 100,000 miles of
use, vehicles tested to establish potential recall liability must also
meet those criteria. Other testing programs and vehicle types have
different criteria.
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 and 48 CFR chapter 15. The
Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published March 11,
2002, one comment was received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 20 minutes per
response, a total of 600 hours annually. 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; 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: 1800.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1800.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 600.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: None.
