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: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 04/14/1998
	Date Received in OIRA: 02/11/1998
Terms of Clearance: Approval of pilot test only. Section B. of the supporting statement (page 4) refers to pilot tests that will be conduted for the dealer, manufacturer, and customer portions of the survey. We would like more information on the results of these tests and what was done to modify these instruments before final action is taken. At least one commentor stated that the questionaire was too complex and we concur. We also also concerned with the complexity of Part B of the manufacturers questionaire and believe this should be carefully evaluated before final approval. The customer survey also seems unweildly for a telephone survey. Additional supporting materials should be evaluated by OST and OMB should concur with each of the final survey instruments before the full surveys are undertaken.
