Pursuant to CFR
1320 this collection of information is not approved. It is not
clear that the combination of certification testing, assembly line
testing, selective enforcement auditing, and in-use testing
represent the least burdensome means of achieving significant
emissions reductions as a result of this program. Prior to
submission of the final rule, EPA should examine whether all of
these testing programs are necessary to achieve the agency's goals.
Specifically, EPA should evaluate whether in-use testing is
necessary, appropriate, or useful, given the experimental nature of
the many control strategies likely to be used to comply with these
standards.
