16036 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 55 / Tuesday, March 22, 2011 / Notices 

approval, Federal agencies must first 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register providing a 60-day comment 

period and otherwise consult with 

members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information. The OMB has 

promulgated regulations describing 

what must be included in such a 

document. Under OMB’s regulation (at 

5CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for 

public comment on the following: 

(i) 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) 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) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(iv) How to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including 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. 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks for public 

comments on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: Side Impact Phase-in Reporting 

Requirements—Part 597. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0558. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the 

approval date. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes 

the issuance of Federal motor vehicle 

safety standards (FMVSS) and 

regulations. The agency, in prescribing 

a FMVSS or regulation, considers 

available relevant motor vehicle safety 

data, and consults with other agencies, 

as it deems appropriate. Further, the 

statute mandates that in issuing any 

FMVSS or regulation, the agency 

considers whether the standard or 

regulation is ‘‘reasonable, practicable 

and appropriate for the particular type 

of motor vehicle or item of motor 

vehicle equipment for which it is 

prescribed,’’ and whether such a 

standard will contribute to carrying out 

the purpose of the Act. 

The Secretary is authorized to invoke 

such rules and regulations, as deemed 

necessary to carry out these 

requirements. Using this authority, on 

September 11, 2007, the agency 

published a final rule (73 FR 51908) 

upgrading the requirements of FMVSS 

No. 214, ‘‘Side impact protection.’’ The 

final rule contained a collection of 

information because of the proposed 

phase-in reporting requirements. The 

collection of information requires 

manufacturers of passenger cars and of 

trucks, buses and multipurpose 

passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle 

weight rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kg 

(10,000 lb) or less, to annually submit a 

report, and maintain records related to 

the report, concerning the number of 

such vehicles that meet the vehicle-topole and moving deformable barrier 

(MDB) test requirements of FMVSS No. 

214 during the three year phase-in of 

those requirements. In response to 

petitions for reconsideration the agency 

published a final rule (73 FR 32473) 

extending the phase-in of both the pole 

and MDB test requirements to four 

years. The purpose of the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements is to assist 

the agency in determining whether a 

manufacturer of vehicles has complied 

with the requirements during the phasein period. 

This notice requests comments on the 

phase-in reporting requirements of 

FMVSS No. 214. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information): NHTSA 

estimates that there are 21 

manufacturers of passenger cars, 

multipurpose passenger vehicles, 

trucks, and buses with a GVWR of 4,536 

kg (10,000 lb) or less. During the phasein reporting period, this information 

collection requires a simple written 

report on the respondent’s annual 

vehicle production and the percent of 

that production meeting the new 

vehicle-to-pole and vehicle to MDB test 

requirements of FMVSS No. 214. There 

is no burden to the general public. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information: NHTSA estimates that the 

total annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden resulting from the 

collection of information is 1,260 hours 

and estimates that the total annual cost 

burden, in U.S. dollars, will be $44,100. 

No additional resources will be 

expended by vehicle manufacturers to 

gather annual production information 

because they already compile this data 

for their own use. 

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. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation of 

authority at 49 CFR 1.50. 

Issued on: March 17, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Community Development Financial 

Institutions Fund 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice and request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury, as part of its continuing effort 

to reduce paperwork and respondent 

burden, invites the general public and 

other Federal agencies to take this 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(2)(A)). Currently, the 

Community Development Financial 

Institutions Fund (the ‘‘CDFI Fund’’), the 

Department of the Treasury, is soliciting 

comments concerning data collection to 

support the Capacity Building Initiative. 

The CDFI Fund intends to collect data 

on the CDFI industry’s needs for 

different training and technical 

assistance topics. The CDFI Fund (and 

its provider firms) will assess the 

demand for capacity-building on 

specific topics, the type of content to be 

provided, and the target audience for 

specific training courses. Additionally, 

the CDFI Fund (and its provider firms) 

will conduct capacity assessments of 

program participants to further refine 

course content. Data collection will be 

used to evaluate the services being 

provided through the Capacity Building 

Initiative as well. 

Data collection is expected to take 

place via online surveys, survey forms 

submitted electronically to the CDFI 

Fund, in-person and remote focus 

groups, phone questionnaires, or similar 

methods. In general, the CDFI Fund 

does not anticipate publishing the 

results of these data collections; 

however, should this information be 

useful the public, the CDFI Fund will 

ensure that no information of a sensitive 

or proprietary nature is released. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before May 23, 2011 to 

be assured of consideration. 

ADDRESSES: Direct all comments to Ruth 

Jaure, CDFI Program Manager, at the 

Community Development Financial 

Institutions Fund, U.S. Department of 

the Treasury, 601 13th Street, NW.,
