• The collections are noncontroversial and do not raise issues of 

concern to other Federal agencies; 

• Any collection is targeted to the 

solicitation of opinions from 

respondents who have experience with 

the program or may have experience 

with the program in the near future; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is not retained; 

• Information gathered is intended to 

be used only internally for general 

service improvement and program 

management purposes and is not 

intended for release outside of the 

agency (if released, the agency must 

indicate the qualitative nature of the 

information); 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

Feedback collected under this generic 

clearance provides useful information, 

but it does not yield data that can be 

generalized to the overall population. 

This type of generic clearance for 

qualitative information will not be used 

for quantitative information collections 

that are designed to yield reliably 

actionable results, such as monitoring 

trends over time or documenting 

program performance. Such data uses 

require more rigorous designs that 

address: the target population to which 

generalizations will be made, the 

sampling frame, the sample design 

(including stratification and clustering), 

the precision requirements or power 

calculations that justify the proposed 

sample size, the expected response rate, 

methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data 

collection, and any testing procedures 

that were or will be undertaken prior to 

fielding the study. Depending on the 

degree of influence the results are likely 

to have, such collections may still be 

eligible for submission for other generic 

mechanisms that are designed to yield 

quantitative results. 

As a general matter, information 

collections will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer 

Information Regulations (sections 103 

and 105). 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0049. 

Form Number: None. 

Affected Public: Vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that 

motor vehicle manufacturers comply 

with 49 CFR part 575, Consumer 

Information Regulation part 575.103 

Truck-camper loading and part 575.105 

Utility Vehicles. Part 575.103 requires 

that manufacturers of light trucks that 

are capable of accommodating slide-in 

campers provide information on the 

cargo weight rating and the longitudinal 

limits within which the center of gravity 

for the cargo weight rating should be 

located. Part 575.105 requires that 

manufacturers of utility vehicles affix a 

sticker in a prominent location alerting 

drivers that the particular handling and 

maneuvering characteristics of utility 

vehicles require special driving 

practices when these vehicles are 

operated. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 15. 

Based on prior years’ manufacturer 

submissions, the agency estimates that 

15 responses will be submitted 

annually. Currently 19 light truck 

manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part 

575. These manufacturers file one 

response annually and submit an 

additional response when they 

introduce a new model. Changes are 

rarely filed with the agency, but we 

estimate that three manufacturers will 

alter their information because of model 

changes. The light truck manufacturers 

gather only pre-existing data for the 

purposes of this regulation. Based on 

previous years’ manufacturer 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 33 / Thursday, February 19, 2015 / Notices 8943 

information, the agency estimates that 

light truck manufacturers use a total of 

20 hours. Specifically, manufacturers 

use 9 hours to gather and arrange the 

data in its proper format, 4 hours to 

distribute the information to its 

dealerships and attach labels to light 

trucks that are capable of 

accommodating slide-in campers, and 7 

hours to print the labels and utility 

vehicle information in the owner’s 

manual or in a separate document 

included with the owner’s manual. The 

estimated annual burden hour is 300 

hours. This number reflects the total 

responses (15) times the total hours (20). 

Prior years’ manufacturer information 

indicates that it takes an average of 

$37.00 per hour for professional and 

clerical staff to gather data, distribute 

and print material. Therefore, the 

agency estimates that the cost associated 

with the burden hours is $11,100 

($37.00 per hour × 300 burden hours). 

Estimated Annual Cost: $2,432,924. 

The annual cost is based on light 

truck production. In model year 2013, 

light truck manufacturers produced 

about 8,298,102 units. By assuming that 

all light truck manufacturers (both large 

and small volume manufacturers) incur 

the same cost, the total annual cost to 

comply with statutory requirements, 

§ 575.103 and § 575.105 is equal to 

$2,904,336 (or $0.35 each unit). 

Comments Are Invited On: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Department, including whether the 

information will have practical utility. 

• Whether the Department’s estimate 

for the burden of the proposed 

information collection is accurate. 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping 

Requirements 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Request for public comment on 

extension of a currently approved 

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 extensions and 

reinstatement of previously approved 

collections. This document describes an 

existing collection of information for 49 

CFR part 574, Tire Identification and 

Recordkeeping, for which NHTSA 

intends to seek renewed OMB approval. 

The Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day comment period was published on 

November 25, 2014 (79 FR 70271). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments within 30 

days to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725 17th 

Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. 

Attention: NHTSA Desk Officer. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. 

Abigail Morgan, NHTSA, 1200 New 

Jersey Avenue SE., Room W43–467, 

NVS–122, Washington, DC 20590. 

Telephone: (202) 366–1810. 

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 topics: 

(1) Is the proposed collection of 

information necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency? Does the information collection 

have practical utility? 

(2) Is the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information accurate? Is the 

methodology valid (including the 

assumptions used)? 

(3) How can the agency enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information that we plan to collect? 

(4) How can the agency minimize the 

burden of collecting this information on 

those who are to respond? Are there 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques (or other forms of 

information technology) that would be 

suitable for this collection (e.g. 

permitting electronic submission of 

responses)? 

In compliance with these 

requirements, NHTSA published a 

notice in the Federal Register providing 

a 60-day comment period, and we 

received no public comments on the 

renewal of this information collection 

(79 FR 70271). Today’s notice provides 

a 30-day comment period in which 

public comments on the renewal of this 

information collection may be 

submitted to OMB. 

Title: Tire Identification and 

Recordkeeping. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0050. 

Form Number: This collection of 

information uses no standard form. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection of 

information. 

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, Tire Identification and 

Recordkeeping, requires tire dealers and 

distributors to record the names and 

addresses of retail purchasers of new 

tires and the identification numbers(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. Part 574 requires independent tire 

dealers and distributors to provide a 

registration form to consumers with the 

tire identification number(s) already 

recorded and information identifying 

the dealer/distributor. The consumer 

can then record his/her name and 

address and return the form to the tire 

manufacturer via U.S. mail, or 

alternatively, the consumer can provide 

this information electronically on the 

tire manufacturer’s Web site if the tire 

manufacturer provides this capability. 

Additionally, motor vehicle
