comment on proposed collections of

information, including extensions and

one collection of information for which

NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

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 5CFR 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;

(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:
