OMB Number: 2127–0588. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: If a private individual or 

lessee wants to install an air bag on-off 

switch to turn-off either or both frontal 

air bags, they must complete HS Form 

603 which is approved under OMB 

2127–0588 to certify certain statements 

regarding use of the switch. The dealer 

or business must, in turn, submit the 

completed forms to NHTSA within 

seven days. The submission of the 

completed forms by the dealers and 

repair business to NHTSA, as required, 

will serve the agency several purposes. 

They will aid the agency in monitoring 

the number of authorization requests 

submitted and the pattern in claims of 

risk groups membership. The completed 

forms will enable the agency to 

determine whether the dealers and 

repair business are complying with the 

terms of the exemption, which include 

a requirement that the dealers and 

repair businesses accept only fully 

completed forms. Finally, submission of 

the completed forms to the agency will 

promote honesty and accuracy in the 

filling out of the forms by vehicle 

owners. The air bag on-off switches are 

installed only in vehicles in which the 

risk of harm needs to be minimized on 

a case-by-case basis. 

Affected Public: Private individuals, 

fleet owners and lessees, motor vehicle 

dealers, repair business. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

7,500 hours.
