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 

collection of information for which the 

agency is seeking approval from OMB: 

Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer

54218 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 171 / Friday, September 3, 2010 / Notices 

Abstract: The Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 (EISA), 

enacted in December 2007, included a 

requirement that the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

develop a national tire fuel efficiency 

program to educate consumers about the 

effect of tires on automobile fuel 

efficiency, safety and durability. A 

critical step in developing the consumer 

information program is to conduct 

proper market research to understand 

consumers’ knowledge of tire 

maintenance and performance, 

understand the tire purchase process 

from both the consumer and retailer’s 

perspectives, evaluate comprehension of 

ratings, exploring the clarity, 

meaningfulness and the likely resulting 

behaviors, and evaluating the creative 

and the channels for communication. 

NHTSA proposes a multi-phased 

research project to gather the data and 

apply analyses and results from the 

project to develop the consumer 

information program. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 107. 

Number of Respondents: 73. 

NHTSA will conduct two research 

phases. For the first phase, which this 

notice addresses, NHTSA will conduct 

two types of qualitative research. One 

research project will consist of two (2) 

focus groups in three (3) cities. Each 

group will have eight (8) participants 

and will last two (2) hours for a total of 

96 participant hours. For the second 

research project in this phase, NHTSA 

will conduct on-site interviews at 

various tire retailers. NHTSA anticipates 

25 respondents with each interview 

taking 25 minutes for a total of 

approximately 11 participant hours. The 

results of this research phase, as well as 

comments received to a separate notice, 

that will be published soon, will be 

used to finalize the content of an online 

survey NHTSA will conduct in the 

second research phase. 

The estimated annual burden hour for 

the first phase of research is 107 hours. 

Based on the Bureau of Labor and 

Statistics’ median hourly wage (all 

occupations) in the May 2009 National 

Occupational Employment and Wage 

Estimates, NHTSA estimates that it will 

take an average of $15.95 per hour for 

professional and clerical staff to gather 

data, distribute and print material. 

Therefore, the agency estimates that the 

cost associated with the burden hours is 

$1,706.65 ($15.95 per hour × 107 burden 

hours). 

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. 

Issued on: August 30, 2010.

Senior Associate Administrator, Policy and 

Operations.
