# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB for approval, it must 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                           ( print page 42571)                        what must be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (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; and

                    (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 submissions of responses.                

In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on the following proposed collection of information:

*Title:*49 CFR part 564, Replaceable Light Source Dimensional Information Collection.                

*Type of Request:*                     Extension of a currently approved collection.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     2127-0563.                

*Affected Public:*                     Businesses or other for profit organizations.                

*Abstract:*                     The information to be collected is in response to 49 CFR part 564, “Replaceable Light Source and Sealed Beam Headlamp Information.” Persons desiring to use newly designed replaceable headlamp light sources are required to submit interchangeability and performance specifications to the agency. After a short agency review to assure completeness, the information is placed in a public docket for use by any person who would like to manufacture headlamp light sources for highway motor vehicles. In Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, Lamps, reflective devices and associated equipment, “Part 564 submissions” are referenced as being the source of information regarding the performance and interchangeability information for legal headlamp light sources, whether original equipment or replacement equipment. The submitted information about headlamp light sources becomes the basis for certification of compliance with safety standards.                

*Estimated Annual Burden:*                     28 hours.                

*Number of respondents:*                     7.                

Issued in Washington, DC.
