SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety

Title: 49 CFR Part 575.104; Uniform 

Tire Quality Grading Standard. 

OMB Number: 2127–0519. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Part 575 requires tire 

manufacturers and tire brand owners to 

submit reports to NHTSA regarding the 

UTQGS grades of all passenger car tire 

lines they offer for sale in the United 

States. This information is used by 

consumers of passenger car tires to 

compare tire quality in making their 

purchase decisions. The information is 

provided in several different ways to 

insure that the consumer can readily see 

and understand the tire grades: (1) The 

grades are molded into the sidewall of 

the tire so that they can be reviewed on 

both the new and old tires; (2) a paper 

label is affixed to the tread face of the 

new tires that provides the grades of 

that particular tireline along with an 

explanation of the grading system; (3) 

the tire manufacturer or brand name 

owner provides prospective purchasers 

of tires the information for each tire 

offered for sale at the particular 

location; (4) vehicle manufacturers 

include in the owner’s manual of each 

vehicle the grade information for the 

tires with which the vehicle is 

equipped; (5) NHTSA compiles the 

grading information of all 

manufacturers’ tirelines into a booklet 

that is available to the public both in 

printed form and on NHTSA’s Web site. 

Affected Public: All passenger car tire 

manufacturers and brand name owners 

offering passenger car tires for sale in 

the United States. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

NHTSA estimates that a cost of 

approximately $26 million to tire 

manufacturers is required to comply 

with this regulation. 

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 Departments’ 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. 

Issued on: November 21, 2007.
