been, the covered Nissan inflators are 

not an appropriate proxy standard for 

inconsequentiality). The sample sizes 

used for the analyses were also limited, 

and there are shortcomings regarding 

various analyses that undermine their 

conclusions—including some 

information was missing or unclear. 

As a general matter, signs of aging 

were observed, which leads to 

propellant degradation, which leads to 

inflator rupture—and the 2004 

propellant that is present in the covered 

Mazda inflators degrades until, at some 

point, it no longer burns normally, but 

in an accelerated and unpredictable 

manner that can cause an inflator 

rupture. Perhaps most importantly, even 

with the limited testing evidence 

available, ballistic testing of field 

returns of the covered Ford inflators 

includes three inflator deployments 

with primary-chamber pressures 

between 60 and 70 MPa—coming from 

two ZQ inflators with a field age 

between 12 and 13 years (one of which 

exhibited a pressure of 68 MPa), and 

one ZN inflator with a field age between 

10 and 11 years. Data from the MEAF 

also appears to indicate the beginning 

stages of density changes in propellant 

tablets in the inflators with increasing 

field age. These results from real-world 

field returns signal that propellant 

degradation is occurring, and belie the 

probability-of-failure projections 

provided in November 2020 (which 

have their own additional shortcomings 

that would lead to an understatement of 

the potential risk). 

Given the severity of the consequence 

of propellant degradation in these air 

bag inflators—the rupture of the inflator 

and metal shrapnel sprayed at vehicle 

occupants—a finding of 

inconsequentiality to safety demands 

extraordinarily robust and persuasive 

evidence. What Mazda presents here, 

while valuable and informative in 

certain respects, suffers from far too 

many shortcomings, both when the 

evidence is assessed individually and in 

its totality, to demonstrate that the 

defect in covered Mazda inflators is not 

important or can otherwise be ignored 

as a matter of safety. 

In consideration of the forgoing, 

NHTSA has decided Mazda has not 

demonstrated that the defect is 

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. 

Accordingly, Mazda’s Petition is hereby 

denied, and Mazda is obligated to 

provide notification of, and a remedy 

for, the defect pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 

30118 and 30120. Within 30 days of the 

issuance of this decision, Ford shall 

submit to NHTSA a proposed schedule 

for the notification of vehicle owners 

and the launch of a remedy required to 

fulfill those obligations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA 

received a special permit request from 

NGPL, a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, 

Inc., seeking a waiver from the 

requirements of 49 CFR 192.611(a) and 

(d): Change in class location: 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 15 / Tuesday, January 26, 2021 / Notices 7183 

Confirmation or revision of maximum 

allowable operating pressure, and 49 

CFR 192.619(a): Maximum allowable 

operating pressure: Steel or plastic 

pipelines. This special permit is being 

requested in lieu of pipe replacement or 

pressure reduction for 10 pipeline 

segments totaling 21,141 feet 

(approximately 4 miles) of 30-inch 

diameter pipe on the Gulf Coast Line #1 

and the Gulf Coast Line #2 Pipelines, 

located in Polk County, Texas. The 

proposed special permit will allow 

operation of the original Class 1 pipe in 

the Class 3 locations. 

The proposed special permit would 

allow NGPL to uprate the Gulf Coast 

Line #1 and Gulf Coast Line #2 

Pipelines from a current 715 pounds per 

square inch gauge (psig) maximum 

allowable operating pressure (MAOP) to 

an 858 psig MAOP. The pipeline MAOP 

uprating is for a new NGPL 2021 

contractual obligation to deliver 300,000 

dekatherms per day of incremental 

natural gas volumes to the Cheniere 

Corpus Christi, Texas Liquefied Natural 

Gas Terminal. 

The Gulf Coast Line #1 Pipeline was 

constructed between 1951 and 1973. 

The Gulf Coast Line #2 Pipeline was 

constructed between 1962 and 1982. 

The special permit request, proposed 

special permit with conditions, and 

Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) 

for the NGPL Gulf Coast Lines #1 and 

#2 Pipelines are available for review and 

public comments in Docket No. 

PHMSA–2019–0151. PHMSA invites 

interested persons to review and submit 

comments on the special permit request 

and DEA in the docket. Please include 

any comments on potential safety and 

environmental impacts that may result 

if the special permit is granted. 

Comments may include relevant data. 

Before issuing a decision on the 

special permit request, PHMSA will 

evaluate all comments received on or 

before the comments closing date. 

Comments received after the closing 

date will be evaluated, if it is possible 

to do so without incurring additional 

expense or delay. PHMSA will consider 

each relevant comment it receives in 

making its decision to grant or deny this 

special permit request. 

Issued in Washington, DC, under authority 

delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade 

Bureau (TTB) 

Title: Importer’s Records and Reports 

(TTB REC 5170/1). 

OMB Control Number: 1513–0064. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Description: Pursuant to chapter 51 of 

the IRC (26 U.S.C.) and the FAA Act at 

27 U.S.C. 201 et seq., TTB regulates, 

among other things, the importation of 

distilled spirits, wine, and malt 

beverages. Pursuant to chapter 52 of the 

IRC (26 U.S.C.) TTB also regulates the 

importation of tobacco products, 

processed tobacco, and cigarette papers 

and tubes. Those statutory provisions 

are the basis of the TTB alcohol and 

tobacco regulations that require 

importers of those products to obtain 

permits and to submit certain 

information upon importation. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) and TTB 

use the information collected under this 

request to ensure that alcohol and 

tobacco product importers have the 

required permits, have paid the 

applicable taxes, and that commodities 

released from customs custody without 

payment of tax for transfer to a bonded 

facility are eligible for such release. TTB 

also uses this collection to ensure that 

imported alcohol product labels comply 

with FAA Act requirements. The 

reporting provisions allow for the 

submission of import-related 

information electronically along with 

the electronic submission of entry 

information to CBP. In addition, TTB 

uses the letterhead applications covered 

under this collection to evaluate 

requests to vary from the regulatory 

provisions. The collected information is 

necessary to ensure applicable tax 

revenue is paid and that alcohol and 

tobacco importers comply with Federal 

laws and regulations. 

TTB Recordkeeping Number: TTB 

REC 5170/1. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofits. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,550. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Number of Annual
