Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The reasons for the adjustments are, the ICR’s costs are estimated as zero since the recording and storing of names and addresses of first purchasers is a commercial practice that has, and we expect will continue to be, followed by the respondents for their business purposes. This estimation is an adjustment from our previous estimate in of $467.00 per year for dealer mailings. As with the previous annual hours burden that has now been reduced to zero, the agency believes it previously overestimated the costs on the respondents given that the recording and storing of first purchaser information, and the transfer of the information from the dealer to its manufacturer, is an activity those parties have been, and will continue, to practice irrespective of the statutory requirement because they have commercial reasons for doing so (e.g., marketing and warranty claims processing at a minimum).
