Disapprove/continue. In accordance with the paperwork reduction act
(PRA) and 5 CFR 1320, OMB can not approve the addition of the
onboard reporting requirements to the existing federal vehicle
inspection program. Given the status of the associated rulemaking,
OMB finds that it would be premature to approve the collections for
the onboard requirement at this time. Questions have been raised
regarding the safety of the proposed refueling control requirement.
These questions will be addressed in a reproposal and they must be
resolved before the onboard reporting requirements can be approved.
Other concerns regarding the onboard requirement include its
estimated cost, its lifetime fuel economy credit, and its
appropriateness given that the Stage II alternative is more cost
effective. Therefore, the practical utility of this reporting
requirment has not been adequately demonstrated. In addition, at
the time of promulgation, EPA should submit a table showing the CFR
cites and burden hours associated with each requirement included
with this ICR.
