DOT did not follow the terms of clearance when it submitted this ICR. The terms of clearance stated that the previous ICR was improperly classified as a revision, and instructed DOT to carefully assess this collection upon re-submission to ensure it is classified properly. DOT again submitted this ICR as a revision even though the collection itself did not change. DOT should ensure that the next submission is properly classified. ICRs should be classified as revisions only if the agency makes a substantive change to the collection.
In addition, this collection was incorrectly submitted as a generic clearance request. DOT should correct this the next time it submits this collection.
