Approved for 3 years, subject to satisfactory evaluation plan, prior to implementation. OMB requests an evaluation plan for these information collection requirements by July 1, 1998. At a minimum, the plan would address the concerns OMB staff have raised with the DOT staff over the course of this review. See E-mail from Clarke to Leach/Petrie/Marvich of 2/9/98. These concerns include (a.) integration of systems and steps needed to ensure that the information wil be effectively used and (b.) assessment of the effects of this overall program on the Department's information collection burden and information simplification efforts. The OMB staff concerns are set forth in the above referenced E-mail and provide background for the evaluation plan . We ask that between now and July, the Department work with OMB staff to come up with a satisfactory evaluation plan, continuing the discussions we have had during this review.
