SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration 

(MARAD) invites public comments on 

our intention to request the Office of

approval to renew an information 

collection. The information collection is 

for midshipmen or graduates of the 

United States Merchant Marine 

Academy (USMMA) or cadets or 

graduates of a State Maritime Academy 

(SMA) who received Student Incentive 

Payment (SIP) Program payments to 

determine if: (1) A waiver should be 

granted of all or a portion of the service 

obligation contract in cases where there 

would be undue hardship or 

impossibility of performance due to 

accident, illness or other justifiable 

reasons; (2) a deferment of all or a 

portion of the service obligation should 

be granted for the purpose of entering a 

marine or maritime-related graduate 

course of study; or (3) an original 

decision of items 1 or 2 should be 

overturned based on a student or 

graduate’s appeal. Their service 

obligation is required by law. We are 

required to publish this notice in the 

Federal Register by the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before November 13, 2017.

Review. 

OMB Control Number: 2133–0510. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

Previously Approved Information 

Collection. 

Abstract: The Information collection 

is essential for determining if a student

that participated in the Student 

Incentive Payment (SIP) Program has a 

valid circumstance preventing them 

from fulfilling the requirements of the 

service obligation contract signed at the 

time of their enrollment in USMMA or 

the SIP program. It also permits the 

Maritime Administration (MARAD) to 

determine if a graduate, who wishes to 

defer their service obligation to attend 

graduate school, is eligible to receive a 

deferment. Student or graduates who 

submit a waiver or deferral request have 

an opportunity to appeal MARAD’s 

decision. This collection is essential for 

determining if the original decision for 

a waiver or deferral request should be 

overturned. Their service obligation is 

required by law.

Academy students and graduates, and

General Motors LLC, Receipt of 

Second Petition for Inconsequentiality 

and Notice of Consolidation 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice of receipt of petition. 

SUMMARY: On January 3, 2017, TK 

Holdings Inc. (Takata) filed a defect 

information report (DIR), in which it 

determined that a defect existed in 

certain passenger-side air bag inflators 

that it manufactured, including 

passenger inflators that it supplied to 

General Motors, LLC (GM) for use in 

certain GMT900 vehicles. GM has 

petitioned the Agency for a decision 

that, because of differences in inflator 

design and vehicle integration, the 

equipment defect determined to exist by 

Takata is inconsequential as it relates to 

motor vehicle safety in the GMT900 

vehicles, and that GM should therefore 

be relieved of its notification and 

remedy obligations.
