application, would be expected in

repairs without the labeling

requirement.

Description of the Likely Respondents

(Including Estimated Number, and

Proposed Frequency of Response to the

Collection of Information): The

respondents are likely to be

manufacturers of the conspicuity

material. The agency is aware of at least

three. Based on the estimated number of

feet of conspicuity material for a year’s

installation on new tractors and trailers,

the number of imprints of the

information is estimated to be 10

million.

Estimate of the Total Annual

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden

Resulting from the Collection of

Information: The cost to manufacturers

of extending the label requirement is the

maintenance and amortization of

printing rollers and the additional dye

or ink consumed. The labels are to be

placed at intervals of about 18 inches on

rolls of retroreflective conspicuity tape.

The labels are printed during the normal

course of steady flow manufacturing

operations without a direct time

penalty.

Two methods of printing the label are

in use. One method uses the same roller

that applies the dye to the red segments

of the material pattern. The roller is

resurfaced annually using a

computerized etching technique. The

‘‘DOT–C2’’ label was incorporated in

the software to drive the roller

resurfacing in 1993, and there is no

additional cost to continue the printing

of the label. In fact, costs would be

incurred to discontinue the label.

The second method uses a separate

roller to apply the label. The

manufacturer using this technique

reports that these rollers have been in

service for 5 years without detectable

wear and predicts a service life of at

least fifteen years. Four rollers costing

about $2,500 each are used. A straight

line depreciation of the rollers over 15

years equals $667 per year. With an

annual allowance for $333 for

additional dye, the annual total industry

cost of maintaining the ‘‘DOT–C2’’ label

is about $1,000.

Authority: 440 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation

of authority at 49 CFR 1.50.

Administration

[U.S. DOT Docket Number NHTSA–2000–

8619]

Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping

Requirements

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Request for public comment on

proposed collection of information.

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 March 19, 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 Mr. Ed

Kosek, NHTSA 400 Seventh Street, SW.,

Room 6123,Washington, DC 20590. Mr.

Kosek’s telephone number is (202) 366–

2589. 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;

(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:

Replaceable Light Source Dimensional

Information for 49 CFR Part 564

Type of Request: Reinstatement of

Clearance.

OMB Clearance Number: 2127–0563.

Form Number: This collection of

information uses no standard forms.

Requested Expiration Date of

Approval: Three years from date of

approval.

Summary of the Collection of

Information: The information to be

collected is in response to 49 CFR Part

564; ‘‘Replaceable Light Source

Dimensional Information.’’ Persons

desiring to use newly designed

replaceable headlamp light sources are

required to submit interchangeability

and performance specifications to the

agency. After a short agency review to

assure completeness, the information is

placed in a public docket for use by any

person who would desire to

manufacture headlamp light sources for

highway motor vehicles. In Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108,

‘‘Lamps, reflective devices and

associated equipment,’’ Part 564

submissions are referenced as being the

source of information regarding the

performance and interchangeability

information for legal headlamp light

sources, whether original equipment or

replacement equipment. Thus, the

submitted information about headlamp

light sources becomes the basis for

certification of compliance with safety

standards.

3646 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 10 / Tuesday, January 16, 2001 / Notices

Description of the need for the

information and proposed use of the

information: The information is to be

placed in a public docket for the use by

vehicle, headlamp and headlamp light

source manufacturers for determining

the interchangeability aspects of

headlamp light sources for

manufacturing purposes and for the

design and manufacture of headlamps.

In order for replacement light sources to

be designated as acceptable

replacements, the replacement light

sources also are required to comply with

the dimensional and performance

information in the docket for its type.

The Federal program for reducing

highway fatalities, injuries and

accidents would likely be adversely

affected if the information was not

collected, because the bulbs would, in

fact, not be standardized for

performance and interchangeability. If

the interchangeability information were

not available to manufacturers who

normally provide original equipment

and aftermarket parts, replacements

could become significantly more costly

to replace upon burnout, and ready

availability would also likely diminish

because the replacements would be

available from only the vehicle’s

manufacturer or its dealer. As a

potential adverse safety consequence,

more and more vehicles would likely be

on the highways at night with

headlamps having one or more failed

bulbs because of the higher expense and

lower availability, and therefore reduce

the roadway illumination and increase

the risk of accident. In the event that the

information collection were not

reapproved, it is likely that the agency

would have to reinstate headlamp light

source information as part of the federal

lighting standard and thus any new light

source designs could be used only after

a lengthy and costly rulemaking instead

of this simple review and reference

procedure.

Description of the Likely Respondents

(Including Estimated Number, and

Proposed Frequency of Response to the

Collection of Information): For the

burdened parties, only those which

develop a new or modified headlamp

light source or other additional

interchange information will have to

submit information. Based on the last

three years of Part 564 data collection,

sixteen submissions have been received.

Estimate of the Total Annual

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden

Resulting from the Collection of

Information: The average estimated cost

of the information submissions is

estimated to be 4.2 hours per

submission at $100 per hour for a cost

of $420 each, thus at a rate of 16/3

submissions per year, the average

annual cost is $2240 and the average

annual hour burden is 22.9 hours.
