The reasons for the adjustments
are, the ICRs 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).
