This collection is approved until August 2003. OMB notes that EPA may need to revise the collection at that time to account for changes in the regulations governing light-duty and heavy- duty vehicle emissions. Before next submitting this collection to OMB for revision or renewal, EPA should also examine its requirement that information be retained for a period of six years, and address this issue in the supporting statement to that ICR. Based on this examination, EPA should consider whether an amendment to its regulations is necessary to provide for a shorter record retention period for some or all of the records that must be retained.
