EPA's light-duty in-use vehicle
testing program provides a spot-check audit of manufacturers'
compliance with the provision of the Clean Air Act. The ICR covers
the solicitation of owners for participation, the responses of
those who are interested in participating, and the additional
information collected from those who do participate. Vehicle owners
who volunteer to participate are required to provide information
regarding their vehicle before it is eligible to be accepted for
testing. The information includes identification of the vehicle,
optional scheduled maintenance records where available, problems
with the vehicle, etc. This allows the Agency to procure properly
maintained and used vehicles for testing. This ICR renews only the
light-duty portion of EPA's in-use testing programs; the heavy-duty
and off-road portions will be renewed separately.

There is a decrease of 204
hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that
identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This change is due
to a decrease in the number of responses returned to EPA by
potential participants.

the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:

(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
