Federal agencies must solicit public 

comment on proposed collections of 

information, including extensions and 

reinstatement of previously approved 

collections. 

This document describes one 

collection of information for which 

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. 

DATES: Written comments should be 

submitted by May 18, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0621. 

Title: 49 CFR 571.403, Platform lift 

systems for motor vehicles and 49 CFR 

571.404, Platform lift installations in 

motor vehicles. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Renewal of a 

previously approved information 

Collection. 

Background 

FMVSS No. 403, Platform lift systems 

for motor vehicle, establishes minimum 

performance standards for platform lifts 

designed for installation on motor 

vehicles. Its purpose is to prevent 

injuries and fatalities to passengers and 

bystanders during the operation of 

platform lifts that assist wheelchair 

users and other persons with limited 

mobility in entering and leaving a 

vehicle. FMVSS No. 404, Platform lift 

installations in motor vehicles, places 

specific requirements on vehicle 

manufacturers or alterers who install 

platform lifts in new vehicles. Under 

these regulations, lift manufacturers 

must certify that their lifts meet the 

requirements of FMVSS No. 403 and 

must declare the certification on the 

owner’s manual insert, the installation 

instructions and the lift operating 

instruction label. Certification of 

compliance with FMVSS No. 404 is on 

the certification label already required 

of vehicle manufacturers and alterers 

under 49 CFR part 567. Therefore, lift 

manufacturers must produce an insert 

that is placed in the vehicle owner’s 

manual, installation instructions and 

one or two labels that are placed near 

the controls of the lift. The requirements 

and our estimates of burden and cost to 

the lift manufacturers are given below. 

There is no burden to the general 

public. 

Respondents: Platform lift 

manufacturers and vehicle 

manufacturers/alterers that install 

platform lifts in new motor vehicles 

before first vehicle sale. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Estimated burden to lift 

manufacturers to produce an insert for 

the vehicle owner’s manual stating the 

lift’s platform operating volume, 

maintenance schedule, and instructions 

regarding the lift operating procedures: 

—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized 

over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year. 

Estimated burden to lift 

manufacturers to produce lift 

installation instructions identifying the 

vehicles on which the lift is designed to 

be installed: 

—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized 

over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year. 

Estimated burden to lift 

manufacturers to produce two labels for 

operating and backup lift operation: 

—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized 

over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year. 

Estimated burden to lift 

manufacturers to produce two labels for 

operating and backup lift operation: 

—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized 

over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year. 

Estimated cost to lift manufacturers to 

produce: 

—Label for operating instructions— 

27,398 lifts × $0.13 per label = 

$3,561.74. 

—Label for backup operations—27,398 

lifts × $0.13 per label = $3,561.74. 

—Owner’s manual insert—27, 398 lifts 

× $0.04 per page × 1 page = 

$1,095.92. 

—Installation instructions—27,398 lifts 

× $0.04 per page × 1 page = 

$1,095.92. 

Note: Although lift installation instructions 

are considerably more than one page, lift 

manufacturers already provide lift 

installation instructions in the normal course 

of business and one additional page should 

be adequate to allow the inclusion of FMVSS 

specific information. 

Total estimated annual cost = 

$9,315.32. 

Total estimated hour burden per year 

= 144 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways 

that the burden could be minimized 

without reducing the quality of the 

collected information. The agency will 

summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended;
