Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Notices 42575 

4,383 vehicles × 20 minutes/vehicle = 

1,460 hours. 

This burden includes the calculation 

required by 49 CFR 595.7(e), but not the 

gathering of the information required for 

the calculation. That information would 

be gathered in the normal course of the 

vehicle modification. The only extra 

burden required by the rule is the 

calculation of the reduction in loading 

carrying capacity and conveying this 

information to the vehicle owner. Again, 

we are assuming that annotation on the 

invoice is the least burdensome way to 

accomplish this customer notification. 

There will be no additional material 

cost associated with compliance with 

this requirement since no additional 

materials need be used above those used 

to prepare the invoice in the normal 

course of business. We are assuming it 

is normal and customary in the course 

of vehicle modification business to 

prepare an invoice, to provide a copy of 

the invoice to the vehicle owner, and to 

keep a copy of the invoice for five years 

after the vehicle is delivered to the 

owner in finished form. 

We seek comment on whether our 

assumptions about the following are 

accurate: 

1. The document required by 49 CFR 

595.7(b) and specified in paragraph (e) 

will need to be prepared for 

approximately 4,383 vehicles modified 

nationwide per year, 

2. Annotation of each vehicle 

modification invoice as to which 

exemptions were used will take an 

average of 20 minutes, and 

3. It is normal in the course of vehicle 

modification business to prepare an 

invoice, to provide a copy of the invoice 

to the vehicle owner, and to keep a copy 

of the invoice for five years after the 

vehicle is delivered to the owner in 

finished form. 

Affected Public: Business or other for 

profit. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 1,475 

hours, and $50.04. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

765. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before a proposed collection of 

information is submitted to OMB for 

approval, Federal agencies 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: 

Title: Consolidated Labeling 

Requirements for Motor Vehicles 

(except the VIN). 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0512. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from the 

approval date. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Businesses. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes 

the issuance of Federal motor vehicle 

safety standards (FMVSS). The agency, 

in prescribing a FMVSS, considers 

available relevant motor vehicle safety 

data, and consults with other agencies, 

as it deems appropriate. Further, the 

statute mandates that in issuing any 

FMVSS, the agency considers whether 

the standard is ‘‘reasonable, practicable 

and appropriate for the particular type 

of motor vehicle or item of motor 

vehicle equipment for which it is 

prescribed,’’ and whether such a 

standard will contribute to carrying out 

the purpose of the Act. 

The Secretary is authorized to invoke 

such rules, as deemed necessary to carry 

out these requirements. Using this 

authority, the agency issued the 

following FMVSS, specifying labeling 

requirements to aid the agency in 

achieving many of its safety goals: 

FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and 

electric brake systems,’’ 

FMVSS No. 135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake 

systems,’’ 

FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’ 

and 

FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt 

assemblies.’’ 

This notice requests comments on the 

labeling requirements of these FMVSS. 

FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and 

electric brake systems,’’ and FMVSS No. 

135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake systems,’’ 

require that each vehicle shall have a 

brake fluid warning statement in letters 

at least one-eighth of an inch high on 

the master cylinder reservoirs. The 

lettering shall be permanently affixed, 

engraved or embossed; located so as to 

be visible by direct view; and of a color 

that contrasts with its background, if it 

not engraved or embossed. 

FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’ 

provides labeling requirements for 

glazing and motor vehicle 

manufacturers. In accordance with the 

standard, NHTSA requires each new 

motor vehicle glazing manufacturer to 

request and be assigned a unique mark 

or number. This number is then used by 

the manufacturer as their unique 

company identification on their selfcertification label on each piece of 

motor vehicle glazing. As part of that 

certification label, the company must 

identify with the simple two or threedigit number assigned by the agency 

and the model of the glazing. In 

addition to these requirements, which 

apply to all glazing, certain specialty 

glazing items, such as standee windows 

in buses, roof openings, and interior 

partitions made of plastic require that 

the manufacturer affix a removable label 

to each item. The label specifies 

cleaning instructions, which will 

minimize the loss of transparency. 

Other information may be provided by 

the manufacturer but is not required. 

FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt 

assemblies,’’ requires safety belts to be 

labeled with the year of manufacture, 

the model, and the name or trademark 

of the manufacturer (S4.1(j)). 

Additionally, replacement safety belts 

that are for use only in specifically 

stated motor vehicles must have labels 

or accompanying instruction sheets to 

specify the applicable vehicle models 

and seating positions (S4.1(k)). Seat belt 

assemblies installed as original 

equipment in new motor vehicles need 

not be required to be labeled with 

position/model information. 

Description of the Likely Respondents 

(Including Estimated Number and 

Proposed Frequency of Response to the 

Collection of Information): NHTSA 

anticipates that approximately 25 new 

prime glazing manufacturers per year 

will contact the agency and request a 

manufacturer identification number. 

These new glazing manufacturers must 

submit one letter, one time, identifying 

their company. In turn, the agency 

responds by assigning them a unique 

manufacturer number. For other 

collections in this notice, no response is 

necessary from manufacturers. These 

labels are only required to be placed on 

each master cylinder reservoir, glazing, 

and each safety belt intended for retail 

sale in the United Sates. Therefore, the 

number of respondents is not 

applicable. 

Estimate of the Total Annual 

Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden 

Resulting From the Collection of 

Information: NHTSA estimates that all 

manufacturers will need a total of 7,874 

hours to comply with these 

requirements. 

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. 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation of 

authority at 49 CFR 1.50.
