Request for Comments 

While FRA solicits discussion and 

comments on all areas of safety at 

private highway-rail grade crossings, we 

particularly encourage comments on the 

following topics: 

• At-grade highway-rail crossings 

present inherent risks to users, 

including the railroad and its employees 

and other persons in the vicinity, 

should a train derail into an occupied 

area or release hazardous materials. 

When passenger trains are involved, the 

risks are heightened. From the 

standpoint of public policy, how do we 

determine whether the creation or 

continuation of a private crossing is 

justified? 

• Is the current assignment of 

responsibility for safety at private 

crossings effective? To what extent do 

risk management practices associated 

with insurance arrangements result in 

‘‘regulation’’ of safety at private 

crossings? 

• How should improvement and/or 

maintenance costs associated with 

private crossings be allocated? 

• Is there a need for alternative 

dispute resolution mechanisms to 

handle disputes that may arise between 

private crossing owners and the 

railroads? 

• Should the State or Federal 

government assume greater 

responsibility for safety at private 

crossings? 

• Should there be nationwide 

standards for warning devices at private 

crossings or for intersection designs of 

new private grade crossings? 

• How do we determine when a 

private crossing has a ‘‘public purpose’’

and is subject to public use? 

• Should some crossings be 

categorized as ‘‘commercial crossings’’

rather than as ‘‘private crossings?’’

• Are there innovative traffic control 

treatments that could improve safety at 

private crossings on major rail corridors, 

including those on which passenger 

service is provided? 

• Should the Department of 

Transportation request the enactment of 

legislation to address private crossings? 

If so, what should it include? 

Issued in Washington, DC, on March 15,

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

proposed collection of information. 

SUMMARY: This notice solicits public 

comment on continuation of the 

requirements for the collection of 

information on safety standards. Before 

a Federal agency can collect certain 

information from the public, it must 

receive approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB). Under 

procedures established by the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before seeking approval, Federal 

agencies must solicit public comment 

on proposed collections of information, 

including extensions and reinstatement 

of previously approved collections. 

This document describes a collection 

of information associated with 49 CFR 

Part 574, Tire Identification and 

Recordkeeping. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 20, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must refer to the 

docket notice number cited at the 

beginning of this notice and be 

submitted to the Office of Information 

and Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, Att’n: Desk 

Officer for NHTSA, 725 17th Street, 

NW., Washington, DC 20503. Please 

identify the proposed collection of 

information for which a comment is 

provided, by referencing its OMB 

clearance number. It is requested, but 

not required, that 2 copies of the 

comment be provided. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Complete copies of each request for 

collection may be obtained from Mr. 

George Soodoo, NVS–122, National 

Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 

400 Seventh St., SW., Washington, DC 

20590. Mr. Soodoo’s telephone number 

is (202) 366–5274. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before a proposed collection of 

information is submitted to OMB for 

approval, Federal agencies 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; 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

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices 13345 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

The agency published the 60-day 

notice on December 8, 2006 (71 FR 

712380). In addition to asking for 

comments on the above issues, the 

notice included eight additional 

questions that were specific to the 

information collection requirements for 

new tires. The eight questions related to 

quantifying the effectiveness of the 

current requirements and considerations 

for the use of alternate methods such as 

electronic registration of new tires that 

might improve the tire registration rate. 

In response to the notice, comments 

were received from the following 

organizations: National Automobile 

Dealers Association (NADA); Rubber 

Manufacturers Association (RMA); 

Computerized Information & 

Management Services, Inc. (CIMS); 

National Tire Registry Recall.Com 

(NTRR); and Tire Industry Association 

(TIA). A short summary of each 

respondent’s comments is provided 

below. 

RMA stated that the continued 

registration of new tire purchasers is a 

critically important safety issue so that 

consumers can be notified in the event 

of a product recall or other safety 

problem. However, it urges NHTSA to 

either interpret or revise Part 574 to 

allow an electronic alternative to the 

current paper card system. RMA has 

data showing that less than 10 percent 

of tire registration cards are currently 

being returned to the tire manufacturer 

and many of these cards are inaccurate, 

incomplete, or illegible. RMA requests 

that NHTSA interpret or amend the 

current regulations in the following 

areas: 

1. Modify the paper form to include 

instructions for consumers to register 

the tires at the tire manufacturer’s Web 

site. Also, permit on a voluntary basis 

the electronic registration of tires at the 

point of sale. 

2. The current regulation only 

requires [independent] distributors to 

provide the form to first purchasers with 

the tire identification number and the 

dealer’s name and address. Any 

revisions to the regulations to permit 

electronic or point-of-sale registration 

should not create any new or additional 

obligations for tire dealers or 

distributors by requiring them to register 

the tires. 

3. The tire manufacturer obligations 

should remain the same under revision 

of this regulation. They should only be 

required to continue to provide the 

paper forms to tire dealers and 

distributors and, upon receipt of the 

forms, retain the consumer information 

for five years. 

4. Through a NHTSA interpretation 

letter, a supplemental method of tire 

registration is permitted. However, the 

agency should amend its regulations to 

provide information for website 

registration directly on the existing 

paper form. 

RMA requests that the agency make 

these changes expeditiously, either 

through additional interpretation letters 

or by opening a new rulemaking. 

NADA generally supports the 

comments filed by RMA with regard to 

revising the regulations to permit 

website registration of tires, and refers 

to the agency’s provisions for electronic 

registration of child safety seats in 49 

CFR 571.213 as being instructive in this 

regard. In addition to allowing 

registration by Web site or fax, NADA 

stated that tire dealers should also be 

permitted to register the tires for the 

consumer, upon obtaining permission or 

a release from the consumer to do so. 

NADA noted that it has stated in past 

information collection renewals that 

franchised automobile and truck dealers 

act as independent tire dealers as well. 

NADA questioned in those prior 

renewals, and also in the current one, 

why the agency estimtes that there are 

only 12,000 new tire dealers and 

distributors, when there are 20,000 

franchised automobile and truck 

dealers. 

CIMS stated that it provides tire 

registrations services to over 80 percent 

of tire manufacturers/brand owners in 

the replacement tire market and to over 

12,000 tire dealers and distributors. 

CIMS is opposed to making changes to 

the existing tire registration regulations. 

CIMS stated that the current tire 

registration regulations are working, and 

that independent tire dealers using the 

CIMS All Brand Form can comply with 

the tire registration regulation for one 

penny or less per tire. Allowing 

electronic registration of tires will only 

cause more confusion, will remove the 

tire purchasers rights and ability to 

ensure that their tires are registered, and 

will increase the liability of 

independent tire dealers if the tire 

registration information is not 

completely transmitted to the tire 

manufacturer or if they jeopardize the 

privacy of tire purchaser information. 

CIMS indicated that tire registrations by 

year are as follows: 

1997—37,000,000 

2000—41,000,000 (Prior to Ford/ 

Firestone recall) 

2003—54,000,000 (corresponds with 

NHTSA estimates, Docket No. 06–

26554) 

2006—59,000,000 

CIMS states that there will be added 

costs associated with electronic tire 

registration including developmental 

costs, software upgrades and employee 

training. 

NTRR believes that changes are 

needed and that electronic registration 

over the internet would enhance public 

safety and would be consistent with 

paperwork reduction act priorities. 

Allowing electronic registration would 

also improve registration rates over the 

current methods. The July 18, 2003 

interpretation letter from NHTSA to 

RMA leaves unanswered the extent to 

which electronic registration and other 

alternatives to paper forms can be used 

in compliance with 49 CFR Part 574. 

NTRR also noted that the tire 

registration from specified in 49 CFR 

Part 574 does not display the required 

OMB control number, nor does the 

agency adequately address privacy and 

confidentiality concerns under the PRA. 

NTRR recommends electronic 

registration in lieu of the paper forms. 

TIA stated that it has worked closely 

with the RMA in reviewing the need to 

revise the current tire registration 

regulations in 49 CFR Part 574, and that 

it agrees with the four principles 

identified by RMA for revisions to the 

regulations. TIA states that any 

revisions to the regulations should not 

create any new or additional obligations 

for tire dealers and thus should not 

required the tire dealers to register the 

tires. Many TIA member tire dealers 

endorse electronic registration and are 

already doing so. NHTSA should adopt 

the changes recommended by RMA as 

quickly as possible. 

Agency Evaluation of Comments: 

Upon reviewing the comments 

submitted in response to the 60-day 

notice, the agency is considering 

revisions to update 49 CFR Part 574 to 

provide, to the extent consistent with 

the agency’s authority, allowances for 

electronic and other possible means of 

registering new tires at the point of sale. 

First, the agency will consider the 

inclusion of Web site registration 

information to be placed on the tire 

registration form in 574.7. Second, the 

agency plans to update the registration 

form to include the OMB control 

number. Third, the agency will fully 

evaluate what appropriate regulations 

are permissible to allow independent 

tire dealers to electronically register the 

tires on a voluntary basis for the 

consumer, within the requirements 

specified in Title 49, USC Chapter 301, 

Section 30117—providing information 

to, and maintaining records on, 

purchaser. Therefore, the agency will 

undertake rulemaking in 2007 to 

address these issues and provide the 

public with the opportunity to comment 

on the proposed changes. Based on the 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
13346 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 54 / Wednesday, March 21, 2007 / Notices 

1See http://www.moderntiredealer.com/ 

tlpoplpdf.cfm?link=research/dtslv2.pdf. 

information in the public record and the 

comments received in response to the 

60-day notice, the agency believes that 

it will be appropriate to issue a 

proposed rule. 

The agency also reviewed the 

comments to determine if any 

information was submitted that would 

allow refinement of the agency’s 

estimate for the burden of performing 

tire registrations. NADA commented 

that its member automobile and truck 

dealers, numbering 20,000, also act as 

independent tire dealers. NADA 

attached prior comments that it had 

made on the issue of tire registrations, 

and its comments dated September 1, 

2000 stated that the total number of 

automobile and truck dealers was 

22,500, but NADA did not know how 

many of these dealers were selling 

aftermarket tires that would qualify 

them as independent tire dealers. NADA 

stated that these dealers routinely 

provide new vehicle purchaser 

information to the vehicle manufacturer. 

However, the agency notes that under 

574.9(b), these dealers are only required 

to provide tire registration forms to 

purchasers of new vehicles only if the 

tires were not on the motor vehicle 

when it was shipped b y the vehicle 

manufacturer. NADA did not provide 

any data on how frequently this occurs. 

NADA also submitted comments 

stating that its automobile and truck 

dealers act as independent tire dealers 

when selling new, non-original tires on 

new vehicles, new tires on used 

vehicles, and/or new tires to service 

customers. Here again, NADA did not 

state how many of their dealers actually 

sell tires, but the agency assumes that 

all of them do have tire mounting 

equipment so they are likely to be 

engaged in such practice. This will add 

20,000 tire dealers to the agency’s 

estimate. 

The agency searched the Modern Tire 

Dealers Web site for data and found that 

its statistics indicated that there are 

approximately 26,000 independent tire 

dealers.1 Based on previous agency 

estimates that two-thirds of tire dealers 

are independent and one-third are nonindependent, this would account for an 

additional 13,000 non-independent tire 

dealers. 

Thus, the agency’s new estimate for 

the number of affected tire dealers is as 

follows: 

Independent Tire Dealers ........ 26,000 

Non-Independent Tire Dealers 13,000 

Automobile and Truck Dealers 20,000 

Total Number of Tire Dealers ...................................... 59,000 

In the 60-day notice, the estimated 

number of affected tire manufacturers 

was eight. We have done additional 

market research and now believe that 

number is low and the total number of 

tire manufacturers selling tires in the 

United States is closer to 20. Although 

the agency’s Web site includes listings 

of 152 tire brands, most of these are 

private label brands whose tires are 

manufactured by the 20 tire 

manufacturers. The agency welcomes 

comments on this revised estimate. 

No other comments were received on 

the accuracy of the agency’s burden 

estimates, so the agency is not revising 

the remaining figures that were 

published in the 60-day notice. 

The agency notes that incorrect 

information was provided in the 60-day 

notice regarding the length of time that 

tire manufacturers are required to retain 

the information provided by tire 

purchasers on the tire registration forms. 

The agency stated that this information 

is to be retained for three years, but as 

required in 49 CFR 574.7(d), the 

information must be retained for not 

less than five years. In addition, vehicle 

manufacturers are required to maintain 

records of the new tires on motor 

vehicles shipped by that manufacturer 

for not less than five years as required 

in 49 CFR 574.10(d). 

In compliance with the requirements 

in 5 CFR part 1320, the agency requests 

comments on the following proposed 

collection of information: 

Title: 49 CFR Part 574, Tire 

Identification and Recordkeeping. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0050. 

Form Number: None. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: 49 U.S.C. 30117(b) requires 

each tire manufacturer to collect and 

maintain records of the first purchasers 

of new tires. To carry out this mandate, 

49 CFR part 574 requires tire dealers 

and distributors to record the names and 

addresses of retail purchasers of new 

tires and the identification number(s) of 

the tires sold. A specific form is 

provided to tire dealers and distributors 

by tire manufacturers for recording this 

information. The completed forms are 

returned to the tire manufacturers where 

they are retained for not less than five 

years. Additionally, motor vehicle 

manufacturers are required to record the 

names and addresses of the first 

purchasers (for purposes other than 

resale), together with the identification 

numbers of the tires on the new 

vehicles, and retain this information for 

not less than five years. 

The Motor Vehicle Safety and Cost 

Savings Authorization Act of 1982 (Pub. 

L. 97–311) prohibited NHTSA from 

enforcing the mandatory tire registration 

provisions in 49 CFR part 574 against 

dealers and distributors whose business 

is not owned or controlled by a tire 

manufacturer (hereinafter referred to as 

‘‘independent dealers’’). For 

independent dealers, Congress specified 

that a voluntary registration system 

would take effect as soon as this agency 

specified the format and content of the 

voluntary tire registration forms and 

standardized the information for all 

independent dealers. Rulemaking was 

completed in 1984 to standardize the 

forms. 

The previously specified mandatory 

tire registration requirements remain 

applicable to all dealers and distributors 

other than independent dealers and the 

requirements for tire and vehicle 

manufacturers are unchanged. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and the Proposed Use of 

the Information: The information is 

used by a tire manufacturer, when it 

determines that some of its tires either 

fail to comply with an applicable safety 

standard or contain a safety related 

defect. With the information, the tire 

manufacturer can notify the first 

purchaser of the tire and provide the 

purchaser with any necessary 

information or instructions. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information): It is 

estimated that this collection of 

information affects 10 million 

respondents annually. This group 

consists of approximately 20 tire 

manufacturers, 59,000 new tire dealers 

and distributors, and 10 million 

consumers who choose to register their 

tire purchases with the tire 

manufacturers. A response is required 

by motor vehicle manufacturers upon 

each sale of a new vehicle and by nonindependent tire dealers with each sale 

of a new tire. A consumer may elect to 

respond when purchasing a new tire 

from an independent dealer. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden 

Resulting from the Collection of 

Information: The estimated burden is as 

follows: 

New tire dealers and distributors ............................ 59,000 

Consumers ........................... 10,000,000 

Total tire registrations 

(manually) ........................ 54,000,000
