This document describes a request for emergency clearance for a collection of information associated with identifying and registering dealers of new passenger cars and new trucks to assist the agency in establishing the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) Program. The establishment of this Program is required by the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) Act of 2009, which was signed into law on June 24, 2009. This document announces the first in a series of requests to OMB to approve collections of information to establish and administer the CARS Program.
Ms. Chandana Achanta

Washington, D.C.
Dear Ms. Achanta:
Pursuant to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) procedures established at 5 CFR Part 1320, Controlling Paperwork Burdens on the Public, I ask that the following collection of information, ÂConsumer Assistance to Recycled and Save Program, Dealer Information, be processed pursuant to section 1320.13 Emergency processing.
I have determined that this information must be collected prior to the expiration of time periods established under Part 1320, and that this information is essential to NHTSAÂs mission to implement this Program so that we may issue electronic vouchers, subject to statutorily specified criteria, to offset the purchase price or lease price of a qualifying new fuel efficient vehicle upon surrender of an eligible trade-in vehicle to a registered vehicle dealer.
NHTSA cannot reasonably comply with the normal clearance procedures because the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to cause NHTSA to miss a statutory deadline established in the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act.
Please approve or disapprove the collection of information within a week.
As you are aware, NHTSA has taken all practicable steps to consult with the EPA, other agencies, and members of the public in order to minimize the burden of this collection of information.
Attached is a draft FEDERAL REGISTER notice in which NHTSA states it is asking for emergency processing of this collection of information within a week.
Sincerely yours,
Ronald Medford
Acting Deputy Administrator
This collection of information is associated with a newly established Program, therefore increasing NHTSA's overall burden hour total by 11,395 hours.
