Vehicle Identification Number, a 

Customer Relations representative will 

be able to inform the vehicle operator of 

the specific vehicle configuration. 

Therefore, if contacted, BMW Customer 

Relations would be able to help the 

vehicle operator determine the correct 

tire pressures for use on the vehicle. 

Vehicle operators are able to contact 

BMW Customer Relations by: 

—Using the toll-free telephone number 

identified in the vehicle Owner’s 

Manual and the Service and Warranty 

Book 

—Using the in-vehicle iDriveTM

controller and menu option for BMW 

Customer Relations 

—Contacting BMW AssistTM which can, 

if necessary, transfer the vehicle 

operator to BMW Customer Relations 

3. Field Experience—Owner Contacts 

to BMW Customer Relations—BMW 

Customer Relations has not received any 

contacts from vehicle owners regarding 

these issues. Therefore, BMW is 

unaware that any vehicle owner has 

encountered these issues. 

Accidents/Injuries—BMW is unaware 

of any accidents or injuries that have 

occurred as a result of these issues. 

4. Prior NHTSA Grants to 

Manufacturer Petitions—NHTSA has 

previously granted petitions for 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

regarding FMVSS No. 110 involving 

vehicles for which the tire information 

placard contained tire size and tire 

pressure information which did not 

match the tires equipped on the vehicle. 

In some of these instances, even though 

the tire information placard identified a 

manufacturer’s recommended cold tire 

inflation pressure that was less than the 

value required for the tires equipped on 

the vehicle, the load carrying capacity of 

the equipped tires, at this lower tire 

pressure, was still sufficient and would 

not lead to a vehicle overload condition. 

5. Vehicle Production—Vehicle 

production has been corrected to 

conform to FMVSS No. 110 Section 

4.3(a), 4.3(C) and 4.3(d). 

BMW concluded by expressing the 

belief that the subject noncompliances 

are inconsequential as they relate to 

motor vehicle safety, and that its 

petition to be exempted from providing 

notification of the noncompliance, as 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a 

remedy for the noncompliance, as 

required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be 

granted. 

To view BMW’s petition analyses and 

any supplemental information in its 

entirety you can visit https://

www.regulations.gov by following the 

online instructions for accessing the 

dockets and by using the docket ID 

number for this petition shown in the 

heading of this notice. 

NHTSA notes that the statutory 

provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to 

file petitions for a determination of 

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to 

exempt manufacturers only from the 

duties found in sections 30118 and 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any 

decision on this petition only applies to 

the subject vehicles that BMW no longer 

controlled at the time it determined that 

the noncompliance existed. However, 

any decision on this petition does not 

relieve vehicle distributors and dealers 

of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for 

sale, or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of 

the noncompliant vehicles under their 

control after BMW notified them that 

the subject noncompliance existed.

regulation at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), an agency 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
40644 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 164 / Friday, August 25, 2017 / Notices 

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: 

Type of Request: Extension of 

clearance. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0045. 

Form Number: This collection of 

information uses no form. 

Title: 49 CFR 556, Petitions for 

Inconsequentiality. 

Affected Public: Businesses or other 

for profit entities. 

Abstract: If a motor vehicle or item of 

replacement motor vehicle equipment is 

determined to contain a defect related to 

motor vehicle safety or not to comply 

with an applicable Federal motor 

vehicle safety standard (FMVSS), the 

manufacturer is required under 49 

U.S.C. 30118 to furnish NHTSA and 

owners, purchasers, and dealers of the 

motor vehicle or motor vehicle 

equipment with notification of the 

defect or noncompliance. The 

manufacturer must also remedy the 

defect or noncompliance without charge 

under 49 U.S.C. 30120. 

A manufacturer may be exempted 

from these requirements under 49 

U.S.C. 30118(d) if the agency decides, 

upon application of the manufacturer, 

that the defect or noncompliance is 

inconsequential as it relates to motor 

vehicle safety. That section provides 

that the agency may only take such 

action after publishing notice in the 

Federal Register and providing an 

opportunity for any interested person to 

present information, views, and 

arguments. 

Regulations implementing this 

provision are found in 49 CFR part 556 

Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. The regulations 

provide that each petition submitted 

under part 556 must: 

(1) Be written in the English language; 

(2) Be submitted in three copies to 

NHTSA; 

(3) State the full name and address of 

the applicant, the nature of its 

organization (e.g., individual, 

partnership, or corporation) and the 

name of the State or county under the 

laws of which it is organized; 

(4) Describe the motor vehicle or item 

of replacement equipment, including 

the number involved and the period of 

production, and the defect or 

noncompliance concerning which an 

exemption is sought, and 

(5) Set forth all data, views, and 

arguments of the petitioner supporting 

the petition. See 49 CFR 556.4(b). 

The regulations also provide that the 

petition must be accompanied by three 

copies of the report of the defect or 

noncompliance that the manufacturer 

has compiled for submission to NHTSA 

under 49 CFR part 573 Defect and 

Noncompliance Responsibility and 

Reports, and be submitted no later than 

30 days after the manufacturer 

determines the existence of the defect or 

noncompliance or is notified that 

NHTSA has determined the existence of 

the defect or noncompliance. See 49 

CFR 556.4(b)(6) and (c). 

The agency receives, on average, 30 

petitions per year seeking exemptions 

under part 556 for an inconsequential 

defect or noncompliance. The agency 

estimates that it would take, on average, 

five hours for a manufacturer to 

compile, organize, and submit the 

information needed to support each 

petition. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 150 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 30. 

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.
