meeting. The discussion of this
information would be likely to
significantly impede implementation of
a proposed agency action if conducted
in open session. Such matters are
protected by exemption 9(B) of section
552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On May 20, the full Board will meet
in open session from 8:30 a.m. to 12
p.m. The Board will approve the agenda
and the Chairman will introduce new
Board members, who will then be
administered the Oath of Office. Mark
Musick, President of the Southern
Regional Education Board, will
welcome the Board. The Board will then
hear the Executive Director’s report and
receive an update on the work of the
National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES) from the Commissioner of
NCES.
From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on May 20,
the Board’s standing committees—the

the Committee on Standards, Design,
and Methodology; and the Reporting
and Dissemination Committee—will
meet in open session.
The full Board will meet in closed
session on May 20 from 12 p.m. to 1
p.m. The Board will receive a draft
report from the National Center for
Education Statistics on the Long-term
Trend Report in Reading and
Mathematics. These data constitute a
major basis for the national release of
the Long-term Trend Report and cannot
be released in an open meeting prior to
the official release of the report. The
meeting must be therefore be conducted
in closed session as disclosure of data
would significantly impede
implementation of the NAEP program,
and is therefore protected by exemption
9(B) of section 552b(c) of Title 5 U.S.C.
On May 20, the full Board will meet
in open session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
At 1 p.m. Board members will discuss
12th Grade NAEP. This item will be
followed by Board discussion and
action on NAEP release and
dissemination from 2:45 p.m. to 3:45
p.m. The Board will receive an update
on the NAEP 2009 Science Framework
from WestED from 3:45 p.m. to 4:15
p.m. after which the May 20 session of
the Board meeting will adjourn.
On May 21, the Nominations
Committee will meet in open session
from 8 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. From 9 a.m. to
12 p.m. the full Board will convene in
open session. At 9 a.m., the Board will
hear a presentation on NAEP, NAGB,
and SREB. Board actions on policies
and Committee reports are scheduled to
take place between 10:45 a.m. and 12
p.m., upon which the May 21, 2005
session of the Board meeting will
adjourn.

Any comments related to this ICR

days of this notice. EPA’s policy is that
public comments, whether submitted
electronically or in paper, will be made
available for public viewing in
EDOCKET as EPA receives them and

Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are independent
aftermarket service providers.
Title: Vehicle Service Information
Web Site Audit.
Abstract: EPA finalized regulations in
June of 2003 (68 FR 38427; June 27,
2003) requiring auto manufacturers to
E:\FR\FM\27APN1.SGM
27APN1
21746
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 27, 2005 / Notices
launch full text Web sites containing all
required service information for 1996
and later model years. In order to assess
the effectiveness of the web site
provisions of the regulations, EPA
believes that input from independent
technicians must be of primary
consideration. As part of our broader
efforts to evaluate the OEM web sites,
EPA is initiating a process to gather
feedback directly from the technician
community on their experiences with
the web sites and to communicate those
findings directly to the OEMs and the
service industry as a whole. EPA staff
will use this data in conjunction with
other internal analyses to assess the
effectiveness of the service information
web sites that are required by the
regulations. In addition, this
information will be used by the Agency
to determine if manufacturer guidance
or changes to the regulations are
needed. An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit
comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(ii) evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
(iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses.
Burden Statement: Participation in
the audit requires the availability of
desk top or lap top computers in the
maintenance facility or shop. In
addition, internet access is needed in
the facility in order to access the
information on individual automobile
manufacturer Web sites. It is anticipated
that a vast majority of vehicle repair
facilities have already made these
capital investments for the day to day
operations of their businesses and that
no additional costs will be incurred by
technicians who participate in the audit.
In addition, the automobile
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
manufacturers have agreed to arrange
for free access to all their Web sites for
participants for the 3–4 month duration
of the audit. Therefore, participants will
not incur any additional charges or fees
as a result of participating in the audit.
EPA otherwise anticipates
approximately 250 technicians to and
that they will spend approximately 1–2
hours per week over a 12-week time
period to electronically complete and
return short audit questionnaires.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop,
acquire, install, and utilize technology
and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
