Abstract: EPA's light-duty in-use vehicle testing program provides a spot-check audit of manufacturers' compliance with the provision of the Clean Air Act. The ICR covers the solicitation of owners for participation, the responses of those who are interested in participating, and the additional information collected from those who do participate. Vehicle owners who volunteer to participate are required to provide information regarding their vehicle before it is eligible to be accepted for testing. The information includes identification of the vehicle, optional scheduled maintenance records where available, problems with the vehicle, etc. This allows the Agency to procure properly maintained and used vehicles for testing. This ICR renews only the light-duty portion of EPA's in-use testing programs; the heavy-duty and off-road portions will be renewed separately.
