Title: MANUFACTURER-BASED IN-USE EMISSION TESTING PROGRAM
Type of Information Collection: New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Comment filed on proposed rule	Conclusion Date: 01/09/1995
Retrieve Notice of Action (NOA)	Date Received in OIRA: 11/10/1994
Terms of Clearance: 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. Specificlly, EPA should evaluate whether in-use testing is necessary, appropriate, or useful, given the experimental nature of many of the control strategies likely to be used to comply with these standards.
