DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[U.S. DOT Docket Number NHTSA–2011– 

0169] 

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

proposed collection and consolidation 

of existing collection of information. 

SUMMARY: 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 OMB approval, 

Federal agencies must solicit public 

comment on proposed collections of 

information, including extension, 

reinstatement and consolidation of 

previously approved collections. 

This document describes a new 

collection of information for which 

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval 

concerning recommendations from 

vehicle manufacturers regarding child 

restraint systems (CRS) that fit in their 

individual vehicles. Furthermore, 

NHTSA plans to combine the new 

information collection with an existing 

collection for obtaining vehicle 

information for consumer information 

purposes (OMB Control number 2127– 

0629). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before April 27, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Complete copies of each request for 

collection of information may be 

obtained at no charge from Johanna 

Lowrie, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, NHTSA, Room W43– 

410, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., 

Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Lowrie’s 

telephone number is (202) 366–5269. 

Please identify the relevant collection of 

information by referring to its OMB 

Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it 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; 

(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 

information technology (e.g., in 

submission of responses). 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA asks for public 

comment on the additional information 

the agency is proposing to collect under 

the existing collection of information: 

Title: Consolidated Vehicle 

Information for the General Public. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0629. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers that 

sell motor vehicles under 10,000 

pounds in the United States. 

Abstract: NHTSA’s mission is to save 

lives, prevent injury and reduce motor 

vehicle crashes. Consumer information 

programs are an important tool for 

improving vehicle safety through market 

forces and providing caregivers 

information about child seats that fit in 

their vehicles. 

On February 25, 2011, NHTSA 

published in the Federal Register a 

‘‘Request for comments’’ notice (76 FR 

10637) describing in detail a new 

consumer information program, as part 

of the New Car Assessment Program, to 

help parents and caregivers find a child 

restraint system (‘‘child safety seat’’) 

that fits their vehicle. Under the new 

program, NHTSA will make available on 

the agency’s Web site, 

www.safercar.gov, information from 

vehicle manufacturers as to the specific 

child safety seats the manufacturers 

recommend for individual vehicles. 

NHTSA also plans to use these 

recommendations when responding to 

public inquiries. The agency anticipates 

that this new program will provide 

consumer service by offering guidance 

on vehicle-CRS matchups and making it 

easier for parents and caregivers to 

select a child safety seat that fits in their 

vehicle. 

The agency has attempted to 

coordinate and reduce the reporting 

burden associated with this new 

information collection effort by 

incorporating the new provisions into 

the currently approved collection, 

‘‘Vehicle Information for the General 

Public’’ (OMB Control Number 2127– 

0629). For over 30 years, NHTSA has 

been providing consumers with vehicle
