THE ORIGINAL
CLEARANCE FOR 2060-0010, FOR 208 HOURS TO EXPIRE OCTOBER 31, 1985,
IS REAFFIRMED. THE REQUESTED EXTENSION OF THIS SURVEY TO 4,500
RESPONSES IS NOT GRANTED. ALTHOUGH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SUPPLIED
BY EPA AS JUSTIFICATION FOR THIS PACKAGE IS HELPFUL, THE PACKAGE
REMAINS INCOMPLETE. SPECIFICALLY, EPA HAS NOT EXPLAINED WHY IT
NEEDS TO EXTEND THE SCOPE OF THIS SURVEY TO 4,500 VEHICLES AT 15
SITES, NOR HAS IT DESCRIBED IN DETAIL THE SURVEY DESIGN SO THAT OMB
MAY MAKE A REASONABLE JUDGEMENT ON ITS USEFULNESS.
