Control Number. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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: (a) 

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; 

(b) 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; 

(c) how to enhance the quality, utility, 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (d) 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 

collection of information for which the 

agency is seeking approval from OMB. 

Title: Labeling of Motor Vehicle Brake 

Fluid Containers in 49 CFR 571.116. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0521. 

Form Number(s): N/A. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved collection of 

information. 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: 3 years from date of approval. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information 

The National Traffic and Motor 

Vehicle Safety Act authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation (NHTSA by 

delegation), at 49 U.S.C. 30111, to issue 

federal motor vehicle safety standards 

(FMVSS) that set performance standards 

for motor vehicles and items of motor 

vehicle equipment. Manufacturers of 

motor vehicles and items of motor 

vehicle equipment subject to the 

FMVSS are required, by 49 U.S.C. 

30115, to certify to the distributor or 

dealer that the vehicle or equipment 

complies with the applicable standards. 

Certification of equipment may be 

shown by a label or tag on the 

equipment or on the outside of the 

container in which the equipment is 

delivered. Further, the Secretary 

(NHTSA by delegation) is authorized, at 

49 U.S.C. 30117, to require 

manufacturers to provide information to 

first purchasers of motor vehicles or 

items of motor vehicle equipment 

related to performance and safety in 

printed materials that are attached to or 

accompany the motor vehicle or item of 

motor vehicle equipment. Using this 

authority, the agency issued FMVSS No. 

116, ‘‘Motor vehicle brake fluids’’, 

which specifies performance and design 

requirements for motor vehicle brake 

fluids and hydraulic system mineral 

oils. Section 5.2.2 of the standard 

specifies labeling requirements for 

manufacturers and packagers of brake 

fluids, as well as packagers of hydraulic 

system mineral oils. Certification of 

equipment must be shown by a label 

permanently affixed to the container, in 

any location except a removable part 

such as a lid.

available at https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/ 

naics4_3250A.htm#27-0000. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information 

The properties of these fluids and 

their use necessitate the package 

labeling information specified in 

FMVSS No. 116. The information on the 

label of a container of motor vehicle 

brake fluid or hydraulic system mineral 

oil is necessary to ensure: The contents 

of the container are clearly stated; the 

source and packing identifiers are 

labeled; the fluids within the container 

are used for their intended purpose 

only; and the containers are stored 

correctly and not re-used when empty. 

To aid in the proper selection and use 

of brake fluids and hydraulic system 

mineral oils in motor vehicles and 

hydraulic equipment, the owners and 

operators of motor vehicles, vehicle 

service facilities, and hydraulic 

equipment operators use this labeling 

information. Proper vehicle brake 

performance is crucial to the safety of 

motor vehicle occupants and protection 

of property. Without this labeling 

requirement, there could be improper 

use or storage of these brake fluids, 

which would have dire safety 

consequences for the operators of 

vehicles or the equipment in which they 

are used. 

Affected Public: Manufacturers and 

packagers of brake fluids and hydraulic 

mineral oils. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

200. 

NHTSA estimates that there are 

approximately 200 manufacturers and 

packagers of brake fluid or hydraulic 

system mineral oil. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

70,000,000 labels. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 8,000 hours. 

Labels are a standard part of fluid 

containers, even in the absence of a 

federal requirement for adding the 

safety and product information to the 

containers. Thus, the information 

required by FMVSS No. 116 would be 

added to a label already existing to be 

placed on the container and the hour 

burden is minimal for adding the 

required information. NHTSA estimates 

that there are currently 200 

manufacturers and packagers of brake 

fluid or hydraulic system mineral oil, 

and each respondent produces 

approximately 24 different label types. 

Assuming a 5-year label redesign cycle, 

approximately 5 new or modified labels 

each year. The burden to design the 

layout of a label to include the 

additional information required by 

FMVSS 116 is estimated to require 8 

hours. NHTSA estimates the total 

annual burden for manufacturers/ 

packagers to produce labels to include 

the standard’s information to be 8,000 

hours (5 labels × 8 hours × 200 

respondents). 

The labor costs associated with these 

burden hours are derived by using 

hourly labor rates published by the 

Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). BLS 

estimates that hourly wages represent 

approximately 69.1% of total 

compensation for private industry 

workers.1 For the labor costs associated 

with the burden hours to design the 

labels to include the required 

information, NHTSA uses the mean 

hourly wage of $36.52 per hour for 

‘‘Technical Writers’’ (occupational code 

27–3042) 2 and applies the 69.1% factor 

to find the total compensation rate of 

$52.85 per hour ($36.52 per hour ÷ 

0.691). The total annual labor costs 

associated with the design of labels is 

estimated to be $422,800 (8,000 burden 

hours × $52.85). The burden hours and 

associated labor costs are summarized 

in Table 1 below.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: 

$80,500. 

Because labels are a standard part of 

fluid containers, even in the absence of 

a federal requirement to include FMVSS 

116 information, there is no additional 

cost to affix the labels that include this 

information. The cost burden is an 

incremental cost of the ink, which 

NHTSA estimates to be $0.00115 per 

label, for adding the required 

information to a paper or plastic label 

and would be a small part of the total 

cost of the printing process used to 

produce the label. 

The cost estimate of $80,500 for the 

total annualized costs to the 

respondents for adding the FMVSS 116 

information to the printing cost of an 

existing label is calculated by 

multiplying the average 350,000 labels 

produced annually by each respondent 

(70,000,000 labels ÷ 200 respondents) by 

the estimated incremental cost of the 

ink per label ($0.00115). Table 2 details 

the costs to add the information 

required pursuant to FMVSS 116 to 

container labels.

Title: Climate Risk Range of Practice 

Questionnaire. 

OMB Control No.: 1557–0354. 

Abstract: The OCC is conducting a 

climate risk range of practice among 

large banks with the purpose of 

developing an understanding of climate 

risk management practices, specifically 

as they pertain to climate-related 

financial risk. Climate risks can have a 

material impact on the financial system 

by damaging property, impeding 

business activity, shifting the values of 

assets, and affecting incomes. Banks are 

exposed to both physical risks and 

transition risks presented by climate 

change, which may impact the safety 

and soundness of supervised 

institutions. The OCC is collecting the 

information through the range of 

practice to understand the financial 

risks and ensure the establishment of 

sound risk management frameworks to 

measure, monitor, and control risks 

presented by climate change. The 

agency understands that some banks are 

working to incorporate climate-related 

financial risks into their existing risk 

management frameworks and business 

strategies. The OCC also recognizes that 

banks’ exposure to climate-related
