Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice

announces that the Information

Collection Request (ICR) abstracted

below has been forwarded to the Office

of Management and Budget (OMB) for

review and approval. The ICRs describe

the nature of the information collections

and their expected burden. The Federal

Register Notice with a 60-day comment

period soliciting comments on the

following information collection was

published on April 28, 1998 [63 FR

23337].

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before August 24, 1998.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)

Title: 49 CFR Part 576 Record

Retention.

OMB Control Number: 2127–0042.

Type Request: Extension of a

currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. Section

30166(e), NHTSA ‘‘reasonably may

require a manufacturer of a motor

vehicle or motor vehicle equipment to

keep records, and a manufacturer,

distributor, or dealer to make reports, to

enable [NHTSA] to decide whether the

manufacturer, distributor or dealer has

complied or is complying with this

chapter or a regulation prescribed under

this chapter.’’ 49 U.S.C. Section 30118

requires manufacturers to notify NHTSA

and owners, purchasers, and dealers if

the manufacturer (1) ‘‘learns’’ that any

vehicle or equipment manufactured by

it contains a defect and decides in good

faith that the defect relates to motor

vehicle safety, or (2) ‘‘decides in good

faith’’ that the vehicle or equipment

does not comply with an applicable

Federal motor vehicle safety standard.

The only way for the agency to decide

if and when a manufacturer ‘‘learned’’

of a safety-related defect or ‘‘decided in

good faith’’ that some products did not

comply with an applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standard is for the

agency to have access to the information

available to the manufacturer. Further,

49 U.S.C. Section 30118(a) requires

NHTSA to immediately notify a

manufacturer if the agency determines

that some of the manufacturer’s

products either do not comply with an

applicable Federal motor vehicle safety

standard or contain a safety-related

defect, and provide the manufacturer

with all the information on which the

determination is based. Agency

determinations of noncompliance are

generally based upon actual testing

conducted by or for the agency.

However, defect determinations depend

heavily upon review of consumer

complaints submitted to the

manufacturer, communications between

manufacturers and suppliers, and the

manufacturers’ analyses of field

problems and/or warranty claims.

Without these complaints and

manufacturer documents, NHTSA

would have only limited access to

information about vehicle or equipment

problems. To ensure that NHTSA will

have access to this type of information,

the agency exercised the authority

granted in 49 U.S.C. Section 30166(e)

and promulgated 49 CFR Part 576,

Record Retention. This regulation

requires manufacturers of motor

vehicles to retain one copy of all records

that contain information concerning

malfunctions that may be related to

motor vehicle safety, for a period of five

years after the record is generated or

acquired by the manufacturer.

Estimated Annual Burden: 40,000

hours.

Number of Respondents: At least

1,000 vehicle manufacturers of all types.

ADDRESS: 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 DOT Desk Officer. 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; the accuracy of the

Department’s estimate of the burden of

the proposed information collection;

ways to enhance the quality, utility and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and 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 best assured of

having its full effect if OMB receives it

within 30 days of publication.
