Terms of Clearance: As NHTSA acknowledged in its Reg Flex analysis of the early warning final rule, there is uncertainty regarding the number of small businesses that would be subject to the more stringent reporting requirements. NHTSA therefore plans to conduct a review of the industry. OMB requests that NHTSA report its findings in subsequent requests for OMB approval of this colletion, particularly as they relate to NHTSA's estimate of the reporting burden imposed on small businesses. With respect to the applicability of the Data Quality Act, OMB notes NHTSA's statement in its supplemental response to Q. A-2 of the supporting statement: "Regarding this particular information collection request under the Paperwork Reduction Act, NHTSA has reviewed the relevant procedures for the collecion and analysis of the subject information, and believes that the information in question will meet the requirements of the Data Quality Act guidelines of both OMB and DOT. This expectation will be confirmed by the agency in the course of its pre-dissemination review, per the guidelines."
