4. Affected public who will be asked

abstract: 

Primary: Auto recyclers, junk yards and 

salvage yards are required to report 

information into NMVTIS. The Anti-Car 

Theft Act, defines junk and salvage yards ‘‘as 

individuals or entities engaged in the 

business of acquiring or owning junk or 

salvage automobiles for resale in their 

entirety or as spare parts or for rebuilding, 

restoration, or crushing.’’ Included in this 

definition are scrap-vehicle shredders and 

scrap-metal processors, as well as ‘‘pull- or 

pick-apart yards,’’ salvage pools, salvage 

auctions, and other types of auctions, 

businesses, and individuals that handle 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
20466 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 67 / Thursday, April 7, 2022 / Notices 

salvage vehicles (including vehicles declared 

a ‘‘total loss’’). 

Abstract: Reporting information on junk 

and salvage vehicles to the National Motor 

Vehicle Title Information System 

(NMVTIS)—supported by the U.S. 

Department of Justice (DOJ)—is required by 

federal law. Under federal law, junk and 

salvage yards must report certain information 

to NMVTIS on a monthly basis. This legal 

requirement has been in place since March 

2009, following the promulgation of 

regulations (28 CFR part 25) to implement 

the junk- and salvage-yard reporting 

provisions of the Anti-Car Theft Act (codified 

at 49 U.S.C. 30501—30505). Accordingly, a 

junk or salvage yard within the United States 

must, on a monthly basis, provide an 

inventory to NMVTIS of the junk or salvage 

automobiles that it obtained (in whole or in 

part) in the prior month. 28 CFR 25.56(a). 

An NMVTIS Reporting Entity includes any 

individual or entity that meets the federal 

definition, found in the NMVTIS regulations 

at 28 CFR 25.52, for a ‘‘junk yard’’ or ‘‘salvage 

yard.’’ According to those regulations, a junk 

yard is defined as ‘‘an individual or entity 

engaged in the business of acquiring or 

owning junk automobiles for—(1) Resale in 

their entirety or as spare parts; or (2) 

Rebuilding, restoration, or crushing.’’ The 

regulations define a salvage yard as ‘‘an 

individual or entity engaged in the business 

of acquiring or owning salvage automobiles 

for—(1) Resale in their entirety or as spare 

parts; or (2) Rebuilding, restoration, or 

crushing.’’ These definitions include vehicle 

remarketers and vehicle recyclers, including 

scrap vehicle shredders and scrap metal 

processors as well as ‘‘pull- or pick-apart 

yards,’’ salvage pools, salvage auctions, used 

automobile dealers, and other types of 

auctions handling salvage or junk vehicles 

(including vehicles declared by any 

insurance company to be a ‘‘total loss’’ 

regardless of any damage assessment). 

Businesses that operate on behalf of these 

entities or individual domestic or 

international salvage vehicle buyers, 

sometimes known as ‘‘brokers’’ may also 

meet these regulatory definitions of salvage 

and junk yards. It is important to note that 

industries not specifically listed in the junk 

yard or salvage yard definition may still meet 

one of the definitions and, therefore, be 

subject to the NMVTIS reporting 

requirements. 

An individual or entity meeting the junk 

yard or salvage yard definition is subject to 

the NMVTIS reporting requirements if that 

individual or entity handles 5 or more junk 

or salvage motor vehicles per year and is 

engaged in the business of acquiring or 

owning a junk automobile or a salvage 

automobile for—‘‘(1) Resale in their entirety 

or as spare parts; or (2) Rebuilding, 

restoration, or crushing.’’ Reporting entities 

can determine whether a vehicle is junk or 

salvage by referring to the definitions 

provided in the NMVTIS regulations at 28 

CFR 25.52. An NMVTIS Reporting Entity is 

required to report specific information to 

NMVTIS within one month of receiving such 

a vehicle, and failure to report may result in 

assessment of a civil penalty of $1,000 per 

violation. 

5. An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: There are currently 

approximately 8,000 businesses that 

report on a regular basis into NMVTIS. 

The estimate for the average amount of 

time for each business to report varies: 

30–60 minutes (estimated). The states 

and insurance companies already are 

capturing most of the data needed to be 

reported, and the reporting consists of 

electronic, batch uploaded information. 

So, for those automated companies the 

reporting time is negligible. For smaller 

junk and salvage yard operators who 

would enter the data manually, it is 

estimated that it will take respondents 

an average of 30–60 minutes per month 

to respond. 

6. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: An estimate of the total 

public burden (in hours) associated with 

the collection is 48,000 to 96,000 hours. 

Total Annual Reporting Burden: 

8,000 × 30 minutes per month (12 times 

per year) = 48,000 

8,000 × 60 minutes per month (12 times 

per year) = 96,000
