Title: Evaluation Study of Odometer Tampering in Passenger Cars.
OMB No.: New.
Type of Request: Request for comment on a new proposed collection
of information.
Affected Public: Dealers and distributors of motor vehicles: State
motor vehicle departments.
Abstract: NHTSA is initiating a comprehensive study of odometer
fraud in accordance with Congressional directive (House Report 103-190
of July 27, 1993). The study will consist of three primary components.
The first component will be the development of first-time national
estimates of the incidence rate of odometer fraud and the costs
associated with odometer fraud. The second component of the study will
be an evaluation of the efforts of the states to combat odometer fraud.
This will include an assessment of state compliance with 49 CFR Part
580, ``Odometer Disclosure Requirements,'' which implemented the Truth
in Mileage Act (Public Law 99-579). A review and assessment of other
efforts undertaken at the state level to counter odometer tampering
will also be made. The third component of the odometer fraud evaluation
will be an assessment of the various Federal efforts carried out over
the last several years to combat odometer and the effects of those
efforts. Primarily, this will be a review of NHTSA's investigatory and
related odometer enforcement activities. The results of the three-part
evaluation study will provide a basis for developing recommendations
for the future direction of odometer fraud programs at the Federal and
State levels.
Need: The results of this evaluation will provide a basis for
developing recommendations for the future direction of odometer fraud
programs at the Federal and State levels.
Estimated Annual Burden: 4,168 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT Desk Officer.
Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility
and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize
the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including
the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.

Issued in Washington, DC, on May 29, 1997.
