SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are those who

have an interest in the reduction of air

emissions from mobile sources.

Title: ‘‘ICR for gathering information

about: the public’s understanding of air

quality, the impact of mobile sources,

and actions individuals can take to

improve air quality; and programs to

increase the public’s awareness.’’

Abstract: EPA’s Office of Mobile

Sources (OMS) is charged with reducing

air pollution from mobile sources.

Although there’s been significant and

measurable progress in reducing air

pollution in the past 20 years, it is

clearly not enough to solve the problem.

Ultimate solutions will require action by

individuals as well as industry.

OMS and its partners in state, local

and regional air and transportation

agencies, other federal/state/local

agencies, public health and other

organizations are working to increase

public awareness of air quality, the

impact of mobile sources and choices

individuals can make to help solve the

problem of air pollution. To accomplish

this mission in the public interest, air

and transportation managers must better

understand the public’s knowledge of

the problem as well as possible

solutions. In order for individual

consumers and drivers to make

responsible choices, it is incumbent

upon EPA and other air and

transportation organizations to provide

education and information as to choices

available and impacts of those choices

on the environment and quality of life.

Before we expend limited federal

resources, we must conduct research to

answer a number of questions vital to

the mission. For example—how much

does the public understand about air

pollution, the impact of mobile sources,
