SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Title: Consolidated Vehicle Owner’s 

Manual Requirements for Motor 

Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Equipment. 

OMB Number: 2127–0541. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: In order to ensure that 

manufacturers are complying with 

FMVSS and regulations, NHTSA 

requires a number of information 

collections in FMVSS Nos. 108, 110, 

202, 205, 208, 210, and 213, and Part 

575 Sections 103 and 105. 

FMVSS No. 108, ‘‘Lamps, reflective 

devices, and associated equipment.’’

This standard requires that certain 

lamps and reflective devices with 

certain performance levels be installed 

on motor vehicles to assure that the 

roadway is properly illuminated, that 

vehicles can be readily seen, and the 

signals can be transmitted to other 

drivers sharing the road, during day, 

night and inclement weather. Since the 

specific manner in which headlamp aim 

is to be performed is not regulated (only 

the performance of the device is), 

aiming devices manufactured or 

installed by different vehicle and 

headlamp manufacturers may work in 

significantly different ways. As a 

consequence, to assure that headlamps 

can be correctly aimed, instructions for 

proper use must be part of the vehicle 

as a label, or optionally, in the vehicle 

owner’s manual. 

FMVSS No. 110, ‘‘Tire selection and 

rims.’’ This standard specifies 

requirements for tire selection to 

prevent tire overloading. The vehicle’s 

normal load and maximum load on the 

tire shall not be greater than applicable 

specified limits. The standard requires a 

permanently affixed vehicle placard 

specifying vehicle capacity weight, 

designated seating capacity, 

manufacturer recommended cold tire 

inflation pressure, and manufacturer’s 

recommended tire size. The standard 

further specifies rim construction 

requirements, load limits of 

nonpneumatic spare tires, and labeling 

requirements for non-pneumatic spare 

tires, including a required placard. 

Owner’s manual information is required 

for ‘‘Use of Spare Tire.’’ FMVSS No. 110 

will require additional owner’s manual 

information on the revised vehicle 

placard and tire information label, on 

revised tire labeling, and on tire safety 

and load limits and terminology. 

FMVSS No. 202, ‘‘Head restraints.’’

This standard specifies requirements for 

head restraints. The standard, which 

seeks to reduce whiplash injuries in rear 

collisions, currently requires head 

restraints for front outboard designated 

seating positions in passenger cars and 

in light multipurpose passenger 

vehicles, trucks and buses. In a final 

rule published on December 14, 2004 

(69 FR 74880), the standard requires 

that vehicle manufacturers include 

information in owner’s manuals for 

vehicles manufactured on or after 

September 1, 2008. The owner’s manual 

must clearly identify which seats are 

equipped with head restraints. If the 

head restraints are removable, the 

owner’s manual must provide 

instructions on how to remove the head 

restraint by a deliberate action distinct 

from any act necessary for adjustment, 

and how to reinstall head restraints. The 

owner’s manual must warn that all head 

restraints must be reinstalled to 

properly protect vehicle occupants. 

Finally, the owner’s manual must 

describe, in an easily understandable 

format, the adjustment of the head 

restraints and/or seat back to achieve 

appropriate head restraint position 

relative to the occupant’s head. 

FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials.’’

This standard specifies requirement for 

all glazing material used in windshields, 

windows, and interior partitions of 

motor vehicles. Its purpose is to reduce 

the likelihood of lacerations and to 

minimize the possibility of occupants 

penetrating the windshield in a crash. 

More detailed information regarding the 

care and maintenance of such glazing 

items, as the glass-plastic windshield, is 

required to be placed in the vehicle 

owner’s manual. 

FMVSS No. 208, ‘‘Occupant crash 

protection.’’ This standard specifies 

requirements for both active and passive 

occupant crash protection systems for 

passenger cars, multipurpose passenger 

vehicles, trucks and small buses. Certain 

safety features, such as air bags, or the 

care and maintenance of air bag 

systems, are required to be explained to 

the owner by means of the owner’s 

manual. For example, the owner’s 

manual must describe the vehicle’s air 

bag system and provide precautionary 

information about the proper 

positioning of the occupants, including 

children. The owner’s manual must also 

warn that no objects, such as shotguns 

carried in police cars, should be placed 

over or near the air bag covers. 

FMVSS No. 210, ‘‘Seat belt assembly 

anchorages.’’ This standard specifies 

requirements for seat belt assembly 

anchorages to ensure effective occupant 

restraint and to reduce the likelihood of 

failure in a crash. The standard requires 

that manufacturers place the following 

information in the vehicle owner’s 

manual: 

a. An explanation that child restraints 

are designed to be secured by means of 

the vehicle’s seat belts, and, 

b. A statement alerting vehicle owners 

that children are always safer in the rear 

seat. 

FMVSS No. 213, ‘‘Child restraint 

systems.’’ This standard specifies 

requirements for child restraint systems 

and requires that manufacturers provide 

consumers with detailed information 

relating to child safety in air bagequipped vehicles. The vehicle owner’s 

67782 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 215 / Tuesday, November 8, 2005 / Notices 

manual must include information about 

the operation and do’s and don’ts of 

built-in child seats. 

Part 575 Section 103, ‘‘Camper 

loading.’’ This standard requires that 

manufacturers of slide-in campers 

designed to fit into the cargo bed of 

pickup trucks affix a label to each 

camper that contains information 

relating to certification, identification 

and proper loading, and to provide more 

detailed loading information in the 

owner’s manual of the truck. 

Part 575 Section 105, ‘‘Utility 

vehicles.’’ This regulation requires 

manufacturers of utility vehicles to alert 

drivers that the particular handling and 

maneuvering characteristics of utility 

vehicles require special driving 

practices when these vehicles are 

operated on paved roads. For example, 

the vehicle owner’s manual is required 

to contain a discussion of vehicle design 

features that cause this type of vehicle 

to be more likely to roll over, and to 

include a discussion of driving practices 

that can reduce the risk of roll over. A 

statement is provided in the regulation 

that manufacturers shall include, in its 

entirety or equivalent form, in the 

vehicle owner’s manual. 

Affected Public: Individuals, 

households, business, other for-profit, 

not-for-profit, farms, Federal 

Government and State, Local or Tribal 

Government. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

2,615 hours. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A Comment to OMB is most effective if 

OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.
