SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,

approval, it 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 5 CFR 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 

collections of information: 

(1) Title: 23 CFR, part 1345, Occupant 

Protection Incentive Grant-Section 405 

OMB Number: 2127—0600.

incentive grant is available to states that 

can demonstrate compliance with at 

least four of six criteria. Demonstration 

of compliance requires submission of

passenger protection statutes plan and/ 

or reports on statewide seat belt

programs and possibly some traffic 

court records. In addition, States eligible 

to receive grant funds must submit a

(2) Title: 49 CFR 556, Petitions for 

Inconsequentiality. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0045. 

Affected Public: Business or other for

Abstract: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration’s statue at 

49 U.S.C. 30113 General exemptions at 

subsection (b) Authority to exempt and 

procedures, authorizes the Secretary of 

Transportation upon application of a 

manufacturer, to exempt the applicant 

from the notice and remedy 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. Charter 301, 

if the Secretary determines that the 

defect or noncompliance is 

inconsequential as it relates to motor 

vehicle safety. The notice and remedy 

requirements of Chapter 301 are set 

forth in 49 U.S.C. 30120 Remedies for 

defects and noncompliance. Those 

sections require a manufacturer of motor 

vehicles or motor vehicle equipment to 

notify distributors, dealers, and 

purchasers if any of the manufacturer’s 

products are determined either to 

contain a safety-related defect or to fail 

to comply with an applicable Federal 

motor vehicle safety standard. The 

manufacturer is under a concomitant 

obligation to remedy such defects or 

noncompliance. NHTSA exercised this 

statutory authority to excuse 

inconsequential defects or 

noncompliance when it promulgated 49 

CFR Part 556, Petitions for 

Inconsequentiality—this regulation 

establishes the procedures for 

manufacturers to submit such petitions 

to the agency will use un evaluating 

those petitions. Part 556 allows the 

agency to ensure that petitions filed 

under 15 U.S.C. 30113 (b) are both 

properly substantiated and efficiently 

processed. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 200 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

40.

Devices’’ (Appendix 2), which applies to 

devices, without self contained energy 

sources, that are designed to be carried 

mandatory in buses and trucks that have 

a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) 

greater than 10,000 pounds and

authorized to require manufacturers to 

provide information to first purchasers 

or motor vehicles or motor vehicle 

equipment when the vehicle equipment 

is purchased, in a printed matter placed 

in the vehicle or attached to our 

accompanying the equipment. Using 

this authority, the agency issued the 

initial FMVSS No. 218, Motorcycle 

Helmets, in 1974. Motorcycle helmets 

are the devices used for protecting 

motorcyclists and other motor vehicle 

users in motor vehicle accidents. 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

No. 218 requires that each helmet shall 

be labeled permanently and legibly 

(S5.6), in a manner such that the label(s)

State-level motorcycle safety programs. 

This survey will consist of a 

questionnaire in mail (paper and pencil) 

format, which will allow a telephone 

follow-up for further details as 

necessary. The study will use the State 

Motorcycle Safety Administrator and

the Secretary, designed to reduce traffic 

accidents and deaths, injuries, and 

property damage resulting there from. 

Such program shall be in accordance 

with uniform guidelines promulgated by 

the Secretary to improve driver 

performance, and to improve pedestrian 

performance, motorcycle safety and 

bicycle safety. Under this program, 

States submit the Highway Safety 

Program and other documentation 

explaining how they intend to use the 

grant funds. In order to account for 

funds expended under these priority 

areas and other program areas, States are 

required to submit a Program Cost 

Summary. The Program Cost Summary

tanks. This information is used by cargo 

tank owners, operators and users, and 

DOT compliance personnel to verify 

that the cargo tanks are requalified, 

maintained and are in proper condition 

for the transportation of hazardous 

materials. 

(3) Manufacturers’ data reports, 

certificates and related papers: These 

reports are prepared by cargo tank 

manufacturers and certifiers, and are 

used by cargo tank owners, operators, 

users and DOT compliance personnel to 

verify that a cargo tank motor vehicle 

was designed and constructed to meet
