SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: Designation of Agent for Service

OMB Control Number: 2127–0040. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Form Number: N/A. 

Abstract: This collection of 

information applies to motor vehicle 

and motor vehicle equipment 

manufacturers located outside of the 

United States (‘‘foreign manufacturers’’). 

Section 110(e) of the National Traffic 

and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 

(49 U.S.C. 30164) requires a foreign 

manufacturer offering a motor vehicle or 

motor vehicle equipment for 

importation into the United States to 

designate a permanent resident of the 

United States as its agent upon whom 

service of notices and processes may be 

made in administrative and judicial 

proceedings. These designations are 

required to be filed with NHTSA. 

NHTSA requires this information in 

case it needs to advise a foreign 

manufacturer of a safety related defect 

in its products so that the manufacturer 

can, in turn, notify purchasers and 

correct the defect. This information also 

enables NHTSA to serve a foreign 

manufacturer with all administrative 

and judicial processes, notices, orders, 

decisions and requirements. 

When NHTSA amended the 

regulation implementing that statutory 

requirement, codified at 49 CFR Part 

551, subpart D, NHTSA included an 

appendix containing a suggested 

designation form for use by foreign 

manufacturers and their agents. The 

purpose of the suggested designation 

format was to simplify the information 

collection and submission process, and 

thereby reduce the burden imposed on 

each covered manufacturer by 49 CFR 

Part 551, subpart D. To further 

streamline the information collection 

process, NHTSA has set up a customer 

Web site that may be accessed at 

http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/rules/ 

manufacture/agent/customer.html. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 120 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

240 respondents. 

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. 

The 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.
