[Docket Number NHTSA–2001–9443]

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping

Requirements

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Request for public comment on

an extension of a currently approved

collection.

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 one

collection of information for which

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 2, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comments must refer to the

docket notice numbers cited at the

beginning of this notice and be

submitted to Docket Management, Room

PL–401, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20590. Please identify

the proposed collection of information

for which a comment is provided, by

referencing its OMB clearance number.

It is requested, but not required, that 2

copies of the comment be provided. The

Docket Section is open on weekdays

from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Complete copies of each request for

collection of information may be

obtained at no charge from Deborah

Mazyck, NHTSA 400 Seventh Street,

SW., Room 5320, NPS–32,Washington,

DC 20590. Ms. Mazyck’s telephone

number is (202) 366–0846. Please

identify the relevant collection of

information by referring to its OMB

Control Number.

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:

(i) Whether the proposed collection of

information is necessary for the proper

performance of the functions of the

agency, including whether the

information will have practical utility;

(ii) The accuracy of the agency’s

estimate of the burden of the proposed

collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and

assumptions used;

(iii) How to enhance the quality,

utility, and clarity of the information to

be collected; and

(iv) How to minimize the burden of

the collection of information on those

who are to respond, including the use

of appropriate automated, electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g. permitting

electronic submission of responses.

In compliance with these

requirements, NHTSA asks for public

comments on the following proposed

collections of information:

Title: Procedures for Selecting Lines

to be Covered by the Theft Prevention

Standard (49 CFR 542).

OMB Control Number: 2127–0539.

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.

Form Number: This collection of

information uses no standard forms.

Abstract: The Anti Car Theft Act of

1992 amended the Motor Vehicle Theft

Law Enforcement Act of 1984 (Pub. L.

98–547) and requires this collection of

information. One component of the theft

prevention legislation required the

Secretary of Transportation (delegated

to the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA)) to promulgate

a theft prevention standard for the

designation of high-theft vehicle lines.

Provisions delineating the information

collection requirements include section

33104, which requires NHTSA to

promulgate a rule for the identification

of major component parts for vehicles

having or expected to have a theft rate

above the median rate for all new

passenger motor vehicles (cars, MPV’s,

and light-duty trucks) sold in the United

States, as well as with major component

parts that are interchangeable with those

having high-theft rates.

The specific lines and parts to be

identified are to be selected by

agreement between the manufacturer

and the agency. If there is a

disagreement of the selection, the

statute states that the agency shall select

such lines and parts, after notice to the

manufacturer and an opportunity for

written comment.

The procedures, contained in §§ 542.1

and 542.2 will be applied to those lines

introduced before or after the 1997

model year (MY).

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,920

hours.

Number of Respondents: 24.
