public information collections which

will be submitted to OMB for renewal.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before October 5, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments on any of these

collections may be mailed or delivered

to the FAA at the following address: Ms.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA

solicits comments on any of the current

collections of information in order to

evaluate the necessity of the collection,

the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of

the burden, the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected, and possible ways to

minimize the burden of the collection.

Following are short synopses of the 2

currently approved public information

collection activities, which will be

submitted to OMB for review and

renewal:

1. 2120–0034, Medical Standards and

Certification. This information for the

medical certification of airmen is

collected under the authority of 49

U.S.C. 40113, 44701, 44501, 44702,

44709, 45303, and 80111. The airman

medical certification program is

implemented by Title 14, Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 61 and

67 (14 CFR parts 61 and 67). Using four

forms to collect information, the Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA)

determines if applicants are medically

qualified to perform the duties

associated with the class of airman

medical certificate sought. The forms

used are: FAA form 8500–7, Report of

Eye Evaluation; FAA Form 8500–8,

Application for Airman Medical

Certificate or Airman Medical and

Student Pilot Certificate; FAA Form

8500–14, Ophthalmological Evaluation

applicants are persons desiring medical

certificates. The total burdens hours

associated with this collection is

estimated to be 860,000 hours annually.

2. 2120–0593, Commuter Operations

and General Certification and

Operations Requirements. Title 49

U.S.C. Section empowers the Secretary

of Transportation to issue air carrier

operating certificates and to establish

minimum safety standards for the

operation of the air carrier to whom

such certificates are issued. The

respondents to this information

collection will be Far Part 135

commuter operators transitioning to

FAR Part 121 operating standards. The

FAA will use the information to ensure

compliance and adherence to the

regulation. It is estimated that the

burden associated with the transition

will be 36,000 hours.

[Docket No. NHTSA–98–4208]

MHT Luxury Alloys, Receipt of

Application for Decision of

Inconsequential Noncompliance

MHT Luxury Alloys (MHT) of

Torrance, California has determined that

some of the rims it manufactured and

marketed fail to comply with 49 CFR

571.120, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard (FMVSS) No. 120, ‘‘Tire

Selection and Rims for Vehicles Other

Than Passenger Cars,’’ and has filed an

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR

Part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance

Reports.’’ MHT has also applied to be

exempted from the notification and

remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.

Chapter 301—‘‘Motor Vehicle Safety’’

on the basis that the noncompliance is

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.

This notice of receipt of an

application is published under 49

U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not

represent any agency decision or other

exercise of judgment concerning the

merits of the application.

Paragraph S5.2 of FMVSS No. 120

states that each rim, or at the option of

the manufacturer in the case of a singlepiece wheel, wheel disc shall be marked

with the information listed in

paragraphs (a) through (e), in lettering

not less than 3 millimeters high,

impressed to a depth or, at the option

of the manufacturer, embossed to a

height of not less than 0.125 millimeter.

These five paragraphs labeled (a)

through (e) require the following

labeling:

(a) A designation which indicates the

source of the rim’s published nominal

dimensions;

(b) The rim size designation;

(c) The symbol DOT constituting a

certification by the manufacturer of the

rim that the rim complies with all

applicable motor vehicle safety

standards;

(d) A designation that identifies the

manufacturer of the rim by name,

trademark, or symbol; and

(e) The month, day, and year or the

month and year of manufacture.

From January 1, 1996 through

November 13, 1997, MHT produced and

sold approximately 13,000 rims which

do not contain four of the five labeling

requirements stated in the standard.

However, MHT did permanently place

on the center of the rim on the weather

side a mark of ‘‘MHT,’’ ‘‘NICHE,’’

‘‘NEEPER,’’ or other registered trade

name of MHT Luxury Alloys, which it
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 150 /Wednesday, August 5, 1998 / Notices 41891

believes is a sufficient designation of the

rim’s manufacturer.

MHT supports its application for

inconsequential noncompliance with

the following statements:

1. Although the symbol ‘‘DOT’’ [and

other labeling requirements] did not

appear on the described rims, each rim

did comply with all applicable motor

vehicle safety standards.

2. MHT has received no complaints

from consumers that (i) the rims did not

comply with all applicable motor

vehicle safety standards, or (ii) the rims

did not contain the required labeling.

3. The subject rims were initially

designed and manufactured for

application on passenger vehicles.

MHT’s management was not aware of

the labeling requirements and believed

that because the rims were originally

designed and manufactured for

passenger vehicles, they were exempt

from the labeling requirements.

4. The names ‘‘MHT,’’ ‘‘NICHE,’’

‘‘NEEPER,’’ and other registered trade

names of MHT are extremely well

known in the industry and to the

consumers of motor vehicle rims. MHT

believes that a consumer could inquire

at any store, distributor, warehouse, or

manufacturer within the United States

as (i) to the identity and general location

of MHT, (ii) be advised that MHT is the

manufacturer of rims that bear its name

and its trademarks, and (iii) that MHT

is located in Los Angeles County,

California. MHT has consistently

responded promptly and fully to any

consumer inquires regarding its

products.

5. Upon receipt of a National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

letter, date October 6, 1997, MHT

promptly ordered a marking machine to

imprinted each new and ‘‘in

warehouse’’ rim with the required

information. Since November 13, 1997,

all rims distributed by MHT have been

marked in compliance with S5.2.

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments on the application described

above. Comments should refer to the

docket number and be submitted to:

U.S. Department of Transportation,

Docket Management, Room PL–401, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.,

20590. It is requested that two copies be

submitted.

All comments received before the

close of business on the closing date

indicated below will be considered. The

application and supporting materials,

and all comments received after the

closing date, will also be filed and will

be considered to the extent possible.

When the application is granted or

denied, the notice will be published in

the Federal Register pursuant to the

authority indicated below.

Comment closing date: September 4,

1998.
