crashes. ODI’s analysis found evidence 

of PMM activation in approximately 13 

percent of crashes where log data was 

reviewed for SUA crashes. The 

effectiveness of the PMM activations 

have been limited by the fact that the 

original PMM implementation is 

designed for conditions where the 

vehicle is traveling straight forward or 

rearward toward the collision obstacle. 

Most SUA crashes reviewed in this 

petition evaluation involved dynamic 

steering inputs (i.e., vehicles with 

steering angles of 180 degrees or greater 

when the SUA occurs) which the 

original implementation of PPM was not 

designed to address. 

3.8 Complaint Vehicle Service History 

Review 

ODI requested service histories for the 

accelerator pedal assemblies, motor 

control systems and brake systems for 

204 of the vehicles cited by the 

petitioner. Only two vehicles had faults 

diagnosed in those components: One 

motor fault resulting in a vehicle stall 

allegation and the other an APPS fault 

that appears to have resulted from 

damage incurred by the force of the 

driver’s foot on the pedal during the 

crash event. 

One of the VOQs identified by the 

petitioner reported feeling a jerk 

forward when approaching a stop sign, 

then a complete loss of power (VOQ 

11164094). The data logs from the 

vehicle show no increase in speed and 

the system cutting motor torque to zero 

in response to a drive inverter fault. ODI 

does not consider this incident a valid 

example of SUA. 

Another vehicle had an accelerator 

pedal assembly replaced to repair a 

crash induced fault in one of the pedal 

tracks (VOQ 11180431). The data log 

shows increased drive motor torque in 

response to manual application of the 

accelerator pedal to 88.4 percent. After 

the fault in the pedal assembly was 

detected, motor torque was cut to zero 

within 0.04 seconds. 

The service history analysis indicates 

that component faults are not a factor in 

the SUA incidents reported to NHTSA. 

The data logs for the two incidents that 

did involve component faults 

demonstrated that system failsafe torque 

cut logic worked as designed. 

5.0 Conclusion 

After reviewing the available data, 

ODI has not identified evidence that 

would support opening a defect 

investigation into SUA in the subject 

vehicles. The evidence shows that SUA 

crashes in the complaints cited by the 

petitioner have been caused by pedal 

misapplication. There is no evidence of 

any fault in the accelerator pedal 

assemblies, motor control systems, or 

brake systems that has contributed to 

any of the cited incidents. There is also 

no evidence of a design factor 

contributing to increased likelihood of 

pedal misapplication. 

NHTSA is authorized to issue an 

order requiring notification and remedy 

of a defect if the Agency’s investigation 

shows a defect in design, construction, 

or performance of a motor vehicle that 

presents an unreasonable risk to safety. 

49 U.S.C. 30102(a)(9), 30118. Given the 

fact that the event data do not provide 

evidence that the subject SUA was 

caused by a vehicle-based defect, it is 

unlikely that an order concerning the 

notification and remedy of a safetyrelated defect would be issued due to 

any investigation opened upon grant of 

this petition. Therefore, and upon full 

consideration of the information 

presented in the petition and the 

potential risks to safety, the petition is 

denied. The denial of this petition does 

not foreclose the Agency from taking 

further action if warranted or the 

potential for a future finding that a 

safety-related defect exists based upon 

additional information the Agency may 

receive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal 

agencies must obtain approval from the 

OMB for each collection of information 

that they conduct or sponsor. 

‘‘Collection of information’’ is defined 

in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 

1320.3(c) to include agency requests or 

requirements that members of the public 

submit reports, keep records, or provide 

information to a third party. Section 

3506(c)(2)(A) of title 44 requires Federal 

agencies to provide a 60-day notice in 

the Federal Register concerning each 

proposed collection of information, 

including each proposed extension or 

revision of an existing collection of 

information, before submitting the 

collection to OMB for approval. To 

comply with this requirement, the OCC 

is publishing notice of the revision of 

the collection of information set forth in 

this document.

Transfer Agent Registration and 

Deregistration Forms.

Section 17A(c) of the Securities 

Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) requires 

all transfer agents for qualifying 

securities registered under section 12 of 

the Act, as well as for securities that 

would be required to be registered 

except for the exemption from 

registration provided by section 

12(g)(2)(B) or section 12(g)(2)(G), to file 

with the appropriate regulatory agency 

an application for registration in such 

form and containing such information 

and documents as such appropriate 

regulatory agency may prescribe as 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of this section.2 In 

general, an entity performing transfer 

agent functions for a qualifying security 

is required to register with its 

appropriate regulatory agency (‘‘ARA’’). 

The OCC’s regulations at 12 CFR 9.20 

implement these provisions of the Act. 

To accomplish the registration of 

transfer agents, Form TA–1 was 

developed in 1975 as an interagency 

effort by the Securities and Exchange 

Commission (SEC) and the Federal 

banking agencies (the OCC, the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve 

System, and the Federal Deposit 

Insurance Corporation). The agencies 

primarily use the data collected on 

Form TA–1 to determine whether an 

application for registration should be 

approved, denied, accelerated, or 

postponed, and they use the data in 

connection with their supervisory 

responsibilities. In addition, when a 

national bank or Federal savings 

association no longer acts as a transfer 

agent for covered corporate securities or 

when the national bank or Federal 

savings association is no longer 

supervised by the OCC, i.e., liquidates 

or converts to another form of financial 

institution, the national bank or Federal 

savings association must file Form TA– 

W with the OCC, requesting withdrawal 

from registration as a transfer agent. 

Forms TA–1 and TA–W are 

mandatory and their collection is 

authorized by sections 17A(c), 17(a)(3), 

and 23(a)(1) of the Act, as amended (15 

U.S.C. 78q–1(c), 78q(a)(3), and 

78w(a)(1)). Additionally, section 

3(a)(34)(B)(i) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 

78c(a)(34)(B)(i)) provides that the OCC 

is the ARA in the case of a national 

banks and Federal savings associations 

and subsidiaries of such institutions. 

The registrations are public filings and 

are not considered confidential. 

The OCC needs the information 

contained in this collection to fulfill its 

statutory responsibilities. Section 

17A(c)(2) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78q– 

1(c)(2)), as amended, provides that all 

those authorized to transfer securities 

registered under section 12 of the Act 

(transfer agents) shall register by filing 

with the appropriate regulatory agency 

an application for registration in such 

form and containing such information 

and documents as such appropriate 

regulatory agency may prescribe to be 

necessary or appropriate in furtherance 

of the purposes of this section. 

Request for Comment 

Comments submitted in response to 

this notice will be summarized and 

included in the submission to OMB. 

Comments are requested on: 

(a) Whether the information 

collections are necessary for the proper 

performance of the OCC’s functions, 

including whether the information has 

practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the OCC’s

information collections, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

information collections on respondents,
