DEPARTMENT OF STATE 

[Public Notice: 7213] 

Notice Convening an Accountability 

Review Board To Examine the 

Circumstances of the Death of Three 

DoD Personnel Assigned to the U.S. 

Embassy’s Office of Defense 

Representative Pakistan (ODRP) on 

February 3, 2010 

Pursuant to Section 301 of the 

Omnibus Diplomatic Security and 

Antiterrorism Act of 1986, as amended 

(22 U.S.C. 4831 et seq.), the Secretary of 

State has determined that a recent attack 

on three Department of Defense 

personnel assigned to the U.S. 

Embassy’s Office of Defense 

Representative Pakistan (ODRP) 

involved loss of life that was at or 

related to a U.S. mission abroad. 

Therefore, the Secretary has convened 

an Accountability Review Board to 

examine the facts and the circumstances 

of the attacks and to report to me such 

findings and recommendations as it 

deems appropriate. 

The Secretary has appointed Joseph 

Lake, a retired U.S. ambassador, as 

Chair of the Board. He will be assisted 

by Robert Bryson, Lewis Atherton, 

Barbara Martin, Wayne Rychak and by 

the Executive Secretary to the Board, 

Linda Hartley. They bring to their 

deliberations distinguished backgrounds 

in government service and/or the 

private sector. 

The Board will submit its conclusions 

and recommendations to Secretary 

Clinton within 60 days of its first 

meeting, unless the Chair determines a 

need for additional time. Appropriate 

action will be taken and reports 

submitted to Congress on any 

recommendations made by the Board. 

Anyone with information relevant to 

the Board’s examination of these 

incidents should contact the Board 

promptly at (202) 647–5204 or send a 

fax to the Board at (202) 647–3282. 

This notice shall be published in the 

Federal Register.

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: 

Title: 49 CFR 575.104; Uniform Tire 

Quality Grading Standard. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0519. 

Affected Public: All passenger car tire 

manufacturers and brand name owners 

offering passenger car tires for sale in 

the United States. 

Form Number: The collection of this 

information uses no standard form. 

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 grade: (1) The 

grades are molded into the sidewall of 

the tire so that they can be reviewed on 

both the new tire and the old tire that 

is being replaced; (2) a paper label is 

affixed to the tread face of the new tire 

that provides the grade of that particular 

tire line along with an explanation of 

the grading system; (3) tire 

manufacturers provide dealers with 

brochures for public distribution listing 

the grades of all of the tirelines they 

offer for sale; and (4) NHTSA compiles 

the grading information of all 

manufacturers’ tirelines into a booklet 

that is available to the public both in 

printed form and on the Web site. 

Estimated Annual Burden: NHTSA 

estimates that a total of 88,320 manhours are required to write the 

brochures, engrave the new passenger 

car tire molds, and affix the paper labels 

to the tires. Based on an average hourly 

rate of $22 per hour for rubber workers 

in the United States, the cost to the 

manufacturers is $1,943,040 to perform 

those items listed above. The largest 

portion of the cost burden imposed by 

the UTQGS program arises from the 

testing necessary to determine the 

grades that should be assigned to the 

tires. An average of 125 convoys, driven 

7,200 miles each, consisting of four 

vehicles and four drivers, are run each 

year for treadwear testing. NHTSA 

estimates it cost $0.60 per vehicle mile 

including salaries, overhead and 

reports. This brings the annual 

treadwear testing cost to $2,160,000. For 

the traction testing, it is estimated that 

1,750 tires are tested annually with an 

estimated cost of $38,500 for use of the 

government test facility. Using a factor 

of 3.5 times to cover salary and 

overhead of test contractors, the 

estimated cost of traction testing is 

$134,750. A separate temperature grade 

testing for tires is required, since the test 

is no more an extension of the high 

speed performance test of 49 CFR 

571.109 which was required for safety 

certification. Section 571.109 is 

replaced by § 571.139, which has 

different test speeds. For the 

temperature testing, it is estimated that 

1,750 tires are tested annually with an 

estimated average cost per test of $423. 

Therefore, the estimated UTQGS 

temperature annual testing is $740,250. 

Thus the total estimated cost for UTQGS 

testing is $3,035,000. The cost of 

printing the tread labels is 

approximately $21,340,000 and the 

estimate for printing brochures is at 

$999,000. This yields a total annual 

financial burden of approximately 

$25,374,000 (approximately $25.5 

million) on the tire manufacturers. 

Estimated Annual Burden to the 

Government: The estimated annual cost 

of UTQGS to the Federal government is 

$1,278,000. The cost consists of 

approximately $152,000 for data 

management, $730,000 for enforcement 

testing, and about $396,000 for general 

administration of the program. 

Number of Respondents: There are 

approximately 160 individual tire 

brands sold in the United States. The 

actual number of respondents is much 

less than 160 due to company 

acquisitions, mergers, and in most cases, 

the manufacturer will report for the 

various individual brand names that 

they produce tires for. The actual 

number of respondents is approximately 

45 individual responses. 

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.
