This information collection would
survey dealers to determine the extent to which dealers have
transactions that are not yet put into the NHTSA payment system.
The information is needed to determine the amount of money
outstanding that is needed to fund the CARS program.
Ms. Chandana Achanta
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Office of Management
and Budget 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 changes to the survey instrument that is the subject of
OMB Clearance No. 2127-0602, Consumer Assistance to Recycled and
Save (CARS) Program, CARS Dealer Survey, 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 NHTSAs mission to implement this Program so that we
may conduct a poll of motor vehicle dealers to determine the extent
to which the dealers have not yet put into NHTSAs payment system
(known as the CARS Invoice Entry web site), mandatory information
about sales transactions under the CARS Program. 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 changes to OMB Clearance No. 2127-0602 on August 4, 2009. As
you are aware, NHTSA has taken all practicable steps to consult
with you, other OMB officials, other agencies, and members of the
public in order to minimize the burden of this collection of
information. Sincerely yours, Ronald Medford Acting Deputy
Administrator
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
