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 (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; 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2004 / Notices 74565

(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: 49 CFR Part 566, 

Manufacturers’ Identification. 

OMB Number: 2127–0043. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations. 

Abstract: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration’s statute at 

49 U.S.C. 30118: Notification of defect 

and noncompliance requires 

manufacturers to determine if the motor 

vehicle or item or replacement 

equipment contains a defect related to 

motor vehicle safety or fails to comply 

with an applicable Federal Motor 

Vehicle Safety Standard. Following 

such a determination, the manufacturer 

is required to notify the Secretary of 

Transportation, owners, purchasers, and 

dealers of motor vehicles or replacement 

equipment, of the defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance without charge 

to the owner. With this determination, 

NHTSA issued 49 CFR Part 566, 

manufacturer identification. Part 

566requires every manufacturer of 

motor vehicles and/or replacement 

equipment to file with the agency on a 

one times basis, the required 

information specified in Part 566. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 33. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

200. 

(2) Title: 49 CFR 571.125, Warning 

Devices. 

OMB Number: 2127–0506. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations. 

Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30111, 30112, and 

30117 (Appendix 1) of the National 

Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 

1996, authorizes the issuance of Federal 

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 

(FMVSS). The Secretary is authorized to 

issue, amend, and revoke such rules and 

regulations as she/he deems necessary. 

Using this authority, the agency 

issued FMVSS no. 125, ‘‘Warning 

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 

voluntarily in other vehicles. These 

devices are used to warn approaching 

traffic of the presence of a stopped 

vehicle, except for devices designed to 

be permanently affixed to the vehicles. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.

(3) Title: 49 CFR 571.218, Motorcycle 

Helmets (Labeling). 

OMB Number: 2127–0518. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Federal, Local, State, 

and Tribal Government, Business, or 

other for-profit organizations. 

Abstract: The National Traffic Vehicle 

Safety statute at 49 U.S.C. subchapter II 

standards and compliance, sections 

30111 and 30117 authorizes the 

issuance of Federal motor vehicle safety 

standards (FMVSS). The Secretary is 

authorized to issue, amend, and revoke 

such rules and regulations as he/she 

deems necessary. The Secretary is also 

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) 

can be read easily without removing 

padding or any other permanent part. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden:

5,333. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

32.

(4) Title: Replaceable Light Source 

Dimensional Information Collection, 49 

CFR Part 564. 

OMB Number: 2127–0563. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations. 

Abstract: The information to be 

collected is in response to 49 CFR Part 

564, ‘‘Replaceable Light Source 

Dimensional Information.’’ Persons 

desiring to use newly designed 

replaceable headlamp light sources are 

required to submit interchangeability 

and performance specifications to the 

agency. After a short agency review to 

assure completeness, the information is 

placed in a public docket for use by any 

person who would desire to 

manufacture headlamp light sources for 

highway motor vehicles. In Federal 

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, 

Lamps, reflective devices and associated 

equipment,’’ Part 564 submission are 

referenced as being the source of 

information regarding the performance 

and interchangeability information for 

legal headlamp light sources, whether 

original equipment or replacement 

equipment. Thus, the submitted 

information about headlamp light 

sources becomes the basis for 

certification of compliance with safety 

standards. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 7.

(5) Title: Compliance Labeling of 

Retroreflective Materials heavy Trailer 

Conspicuity. 

OMB Number: 2127–0569. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit organizations. 

Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle 

Safety Standard No. 108, ‘‘Lamps 

Reflective Devices, and Associated 

Equipment,’’ specifies requirements for 

vehicle lighting for the purposes of 

reducing traffic accidents and their 

tragic results by providing adequate 

roadway illumination, improved vehicle 

conspicuity, appropriate information 

transmission through signal lamps, in 

both day, night, and other conditions of 

reduced visibility. For certifications and 

identification purposes, the Standard 

requires the permanent marking of the 

letters ‘‘DOT–C2,’’ DOT–C3’’, or DOT 

‘‘C4’’ at least 3 mm high at regular 

intervals on retroreflective sheeting 

material having adequate performance 

to provide effective trailer conspicuity. 

The manufacturers of new tractors 

and trailers are required to certify that 

their products are equipped with 

retroreflective material complying with 

the requirements of the standard. The 

Federal Highway Administration 

(FHWA) Office of Motor Carrier Safety 

enforces this and other standards 

through roadside inspections of trucks. 

There is no practical field test for the 

performance requirements, and labeling 

is the only objectives way of 

distinguishing trailer conspicuity grade 

material from lower performance 

material. Without labeling, FHWA will 

not be able to enforce the performance 

requirements of the standard and the 

compliance testing of new tractors and 

trailers will be complicated. Labeling is 

also important to small trailer 

manufactures because it may help them 

to certify compliance. Because wider 

stripes or material of lower brightness 

74566 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2004 / Notices 

also can provide the minimum safety 

performance, the marking system serves 

the additional role of identifying the 

minimum stripe width required for 

retroreflective brightness of the 

particular material. Since the 

differences between the brightness 

grades of suitable retroreflective 

conspicuity material is not obvious from 

inspection, the marking system is 

necessary for tractor and trailer 

manufacturers and repair shops to 

assure compliance and for FHWA to 

inspect tractors and trailers in use. 

Permanent labeling is used to identify 

retroreflective material having the 

minimum properties required for 

effective conspicuity of trailers at night. 

The information enables the FHWA to 

make compliance inspections, and it 

aids tractor and trailer owners and 

repairs shops in choosing the correct 

repair materials for damaged tractors 

and trailers. It also aids smaller trailer 

manufacturers in certifying compliance 

of their products. 

The FHWA will not be able to 

determine whether trailers are properly 

equipped during roadside inspections 

without labeling. The use of cheaper 

and more common reflective materials, 

which are ineffective for the 

application, would be expected in 

repairs without the labeling 

requirement. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 3.

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.
