performance history of vehicles

belonging to the class. Dealerships,

fleets, or individual owners of motor

vehicles or engines may be asked to

provide information on the vehicles or

engines at issue. The information is

obtained through a questionnaire

administered by telephone interviews

with individual vehicle owners, and by

telephone or in-person interviews with

dealerships or fleets.

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 Ch. 15. The

Federal Register Notice required under

5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on

this collection of information was

published on 3/4/96 (61 FR 8273); no

comments were received.

Burden Statement: EPA may perform

two surveys annually, one of

manufacturers of on-highway light-duty

motor vehicles or light-duty trucks, and

the other of heavy-duty engines or large

nonroad compression ignition engines,

which will require either telephone or

in-person interviews with one hundred

(100) individual vehicle owners or

dealerships or fleets per survey. A

burden estimate of twenty (20) minutes

per individual vehicle owner is based

on agency experience with similar

questions asked of individuals as part of

the in-use recall testing program. A

burden estimate of thirty (30) minutes

per dealership or fleet is based on

contact with dealerships and fleets

made as part of the in-use recall testing

program. The burden estimate is

calculated from an average of the two

different burdens assuming that one-half

of the respondents are individual

vehicle owners and the other half are

dealerships or fleets. Therefore, the total

respondent burden will be 2,500

minutes for each survey. Individuals,

dealerships, or fleets will be asked to

respond to only one survey in any given

year. 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; adjusting

the existing ways to comply with any

previously applicable instructions and

requirements; training personnel to be

able to respond to a collection of

information; searching data sources;

completing and reviewing the collection

of information; and transmitting or

otherwise disclosing the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Owners, dealerships, fleets.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

200.

Frequency of Response: 1/yr.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

166.6 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $0.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 0184.05 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0047 in any

correspondence.

Abstract: The Vehicle Compliance

Programs Group (VCPG), Vehicle

Programs and Compliance Division

(VPCD), Office of Mobile Sources

(OMS), Office of Air and Radiation

(OAR), uses this information collection

to enforce the Recall and Defect

Reporting Regulations of 40 CFR part

85, subparts S and T. Individual owners

of on-highway light-duty motor vehicles

have been recalled. The Vehicles

Compliance Programs Group (VCPG)

uses such information to evaluate the

effectiveness of various aspects of a

recall campaign, to determine whether

manufacturers are in compliance with

recall procedural regulations, and to

determine the cause of ineffective recall

campaigns. The information is obtained

from individuals through a

questionnaire administered by

telephone interviews or in written

format.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Environmental Radiation Ambient

Monitoring System (OMB Control No.

2060–0015; EP ICR No. 877.05) expiring

July 31, 1996. This is a request for

extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: The Environmental

Radiation Ambient Monitoring System

(ERAMS) is a national network of

stations collecting sampling media that

include air, precipitation, drinking

water, surface water, and milk. Samples

are sent to EPA’s National Air and

Radiation Environmental Laboratory

(NAREL) in Montgomery, AL, where

they are analyzed for radioactivity.

ERAMS provides emergency response

and ambient monitoring information

regarding levels of environmental

radiation across the nation. All stations,

usually manned by state and local

personnel, participate in ERAMS

voluntarily. Station operators complete

information forms that accompany the

samples. The forms request descriptive

information related to sample

collection, e.g., sample type, sample

location, length of sampling period, and

volume represented.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 0.37 hours per

response. 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 verify

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:

Sample collectors, who are usually

employed by state or, in a few cases,

local government.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

Frequency of Response: From twice

weekly to four times annually,

depending upon type of media being

sampled.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
