Administration 

Reports, Forms and Record Keeping 

Requirements; Agency Information 

Collection Activity Under OMB Review

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. 

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted 

below has been forwarded to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) for 

review and comment. The ICR describes

and their expected burden. The Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period was published on May 4, 2004

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: 49 CFR 583—Automobile Parts 

Content Labeling. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0573. 

Form Number: None. 

Affected Public: Vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Abstract: Part 583 establishes 

requirements for the disclosure of 

information relating to the countries of 

origin of the equipment of new 

passenger motor vehicles. This 

information will be used by NHTSA to 

determine whether manufacturers are 

complying with the American 

Automobile Labeling Act (49 U.S.C. 

32304). The American Automobile 

Labeling Act requires all new passenger 

motor vehicles (including passenger 

cars, certain small buses, all light trucks 

and multipurpose passenger vehicles 

with a gross vehicle weight rating of 

8,500 pounds or less), to bear labels 

providing information about domestic 

and foreign content of their equipment. 

With the affixed label on the new 

passenger motor vehicles, it serves as an 

aid to potential purchasers in the 

selection of new passenger motor 

vehicles by providing them with 

information about the value of the U.S./

Canadian and foreign parts of each 

vehicle, the countries of origin of the 

engine and transmission, and the site of 

the vehicle’s final assembly. 

Manufacturers of new passenger motor 

vehicles, including passenger cars, 

certain small buses, and light trucks 

with a gross vehicle weight rating of 

8,500 pounds or less, must file a report 

annually. 

NHTSA anticipates that no more than 

20 vehicle manufacturers will be 

affected by these reporting 

requirements. NHTSA does not believe 

that any of these 20 manufacturers are 

a small business (i.e., one that employs 

less than 500 persons) since each 

manufacturer employs more than 500 

persons. 

NHTSA estimates that the vehicle 

manufacturers will incur a total annual 

reporting and cost burden of 6,066 

hours and $4,700,000. The amount 

includes annual burden hours incurred 

by multi-stage manufacturers and motor 

vehicle equipment suppliers.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 

30 days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

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. 

• Whether the Department’s estimate 

for the burden of the proposed 

information collection is accurate. 

• 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.
