SFBR 23 has been operating for the past 

73 years in and around the same area of 

San Francisco, and the glass has 

remained intact without damage. SFBR 

maintains 5 miles of Class 1 track with 

a maximum allowable speed of 10 miles 

per hour.

Prevention Standards. 

OMB Number: 2127–0002. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of an 

Expired Collection. 

Publication of 60-Day Notice: The 

Federal Register Notice with a 60-day 

comment period was published on 

March 2, 2018 (83 FR 9074). 

Abstract: The National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

has requested that OMB reinstate the 

agency’s approval of the information 

collection that is incident to NHTSA’s 

administration of the regulations at 49 

CFR parts 591, 592, and 593 that govern 

the importation of motor vehicles and 

motor vehicle equipment. The 

information collection includes 

declarations that are filed (on the HS– 

7 Declaration form) with U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) upon the 

importation of motor vehicles or motor 

vehicle equipment that is subject to 

Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, 

and theft prevention standards 

administered by NHTSA. The 

information collection also includes the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

conformance bond that is furnished to 

CBP (on form HS–474) for each motor 

vehicle offered for importation that does 

not conform to all applicable Federal 

motor vehicle safety standards 

(FMVSS). The bond ensures that such 

vehicles are brought into conformity 

with those standards within 120 days 

from the date of entry or are exported 

from, or abandoned to, the United 

States. The information collection also 

includes paperwork that must be 

submitted to NHTSA and in some 

instances retained by registered 

importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that 

were not originally manufactured to 

comply with all applicable FMVSS. 

These items include information that a 

person or business entity must submit to 

NHTSA to be registered as an RI and to 

retain that status. The paperwork also 

includes the statement of conformity 

that an RI must submit to NHTSA 

following the completion of 

conformance modifications on an 

imported nonconforming vehicle to 

obtain release of the DOT conformance 

bond furnished for the vehicle at the
