U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice 

announces that the Information 

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes 

the nature of the information collections 

and their expected burden. The Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment

2011 (76 FR 6515). 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

OMB on or before May 12, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the 

Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, OMB, 725 17th Street, NW.,

Officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alex 

Ansley, Recall Management Division 

(NVS–215), Room W46–412, NHTSA, 

1200 New Jersey Ave., Washington, DC 

20590. Telephone: (202) 493–0481. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

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, see 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; and 

(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 collection of 

information: 

Title: Petitions for Hearings on 

Notification and Remedy of Defects. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0039. 

Affected Public: Businesses or others 

for profit. 

Abstract: Sections 30118(e) and 

30120(e) of Title 49 of the United States 

Code specify that any interested person 

may petition NHTSA to hold a hearing 

to determine whether a manufacturer of 

motor vehicles or motor vehicle 

equipment has met its obligation to 

notify owners, purchasers, and dealers 

of vehicles or equipment of a safetyrelated defect or noncompliance with a 

Federal motor vehicle safety standard in 

the manufacturer’s products and to 

remedy that defect or noncompliance. 

To implement these statutory 

provisions, NHTSA promulgated 49 

CFR part 557, Petitions for Hearings on 

Notification and Remedy of Defects. Part 

577 establishes procedures providing 

the submission and disposition of 

petitions for hearings on the issues of 

whether the manufacturer has met its 

obligation to notify owners, purchasers, 

and dealers of safety-related defects or 

noncompliance, or to remedy such 

defect or noncompliance free of charge. 

Estimated annual burden: During 

NHTSA’s last renewal of this 

information collection, the agency 

estimated it would receive one petition 

a year, with an estimated one hour of 

preparation for each petition, for a total 

of one burden hour per year. That 

estimate remains unchanged with this 

notice. 

Number of respondents: 1. 

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 Departments 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. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.
