Title: Highway Vehicle Activity and Emissions (Renewal)
Type of Information Collection: Extension without change of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved with change	Conclusion Date: 11/09/2005
	Date Received in OIRA: 03/31/2005
Terms of Clearance: This information collection is approved with the understanding that not all instruments and procedures are finalized. The agency is authorized to conduct pilot testing on all instruments and protocols as discussed in the supporting statement; any changes must be submitted for OMB review as a change request. This approval covers only the Kansas City experiment; expansion to additional areas must be separately reviewed by OMB. OMB also notes that there remains a question as to whether sampling in one metropolitan area can serve to be representative of the entire country and requests additional information to justify any use of this data in such a way before the results are released to the public or used in MOVES Nonetheless, OMB encourages the agency to expand its sampling within Kansas City to improve the power of its emissions estimates and encourages the agency to expand the program to other areas of the country to gather data that would be representative of the population in general. OMB also suggests that the agency devote additional attention to the issue of nonresponse. This approval will include agency efforts and nonresponse conversion, but sampling methodologies, protocols, and instruments for such conversion must be submitted for review as a change request. OMB requests a power analysis of the agency's estimates after intial rounds of sampling to validate the agency's power calcuation provided in the supporting statement. Finally, OMB requests a detailed exit briefing after the completion of the experiment but prior to incorporation of the results into MOVES.
