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: 

Title: Automobile Parts Content 

Labeling for 49 CFR part 583. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0573. 

Form Number: The collection of this 

information uses no standard form. 

Affected Public: Vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Requested Expiration Date of 

Approval: Three years from approval 

date. 

Abstract: 49 CFR 583 establishes 

requirements for the disclosure of 

information relating to the countries of 

origin of the equipment of new 

passenger motor vehicles. This 

information will be used by NHTSA to 

determine whether manufacturers are 

complying with the American 

Automobile Labeling Act (49 U.S.C. 

32304). The American Automobile 

Labeling Act requires all new passenger 

motor vehicles (including passenger 

cars, certain small buses, all light trucks 

and multipurpose passenger vehicles 

with a gross vehicle weight rating of 

8,500 pounds or less), to bear labels 

providing information about domestic 

and foreign content of their equipment. 

The labels, which are affixed to new 

passenger motor vehicles, serve as an 

aid to potential purchasers in the 

selection of new passenger motor 

vehicles by providing them with 

information about the value of the U.S./ 

Canadian and foreign parts of each 

vehicle, the countries of origin of the 

engine and transmission, and the site of 

the vehicle’s final assembly. 

Estimated Annual Burden: NHTSA 

anticipates approximately 20 vehicle 

manufacturers will be affected by these 

reporting requirements. NHTSA does 

not believe that any of these 20 

manufacturers are a small business (i.e., 

one that employs less than 500 persons) 

since each manufacturer employs more 

than 500 persons. Manufacturers of new 

passenger motor vehicles, including 

passenger cars, certain small buses, and 

light trucks with a gross vehicle weight 

rating of 8,500 pounds or less, must file 

a report annually. 

NHTSA estimates that the vehicle 

manufacturers will incur a total 

reporting annual hour burden and cost 

burden of 50,440 hours and $3,716,740 

respectively. The amount includes 

annual burden hours incurred by multistage manufacturers and motor vehicle 

equipment suppliers. 

Number of Respondents: 20. 

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.

delegated in 49 CFR 1.95.

established by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13), before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0052. 

Title: Brake Hose Manufacturers 

Identification. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Type of Review: Request for extension 

of a currently approved collection of 

information. 

Background: 49 U.S.C. 30101 et seq., 

as amended (‘‘the Safety Act’’), 

authorizes NHTSA to issue Federal 

Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 

(FMVSSs). The Safety Act mandates that 

in issuing any FMVSS, the agency is to 

consider whether the standard is 

reasonable and appropriate for the 

particular type of motor vehicle or item 

of motor vehicle equipment for which it 

is prescribed. Using this authority, 

FMVSS No. 106, Brake Hoses, was 

issued. This standard specifies labeling 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Notices 42573 

and performance requirements which 

apply to all manufacturers of brake 

hoses and brake hose end fittings, and 

to those who assemble brake hoses (49 

CFR 571.106). 

Prior to assembling or selling brake 

hoses, these entities must register their 

identification marks with NHTSA to 

comply with the labeling requirements 

of this standard. In accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, the agency 

must obtain OMB approval to continue 

collecting labeling information. 

Currently, there are 2,418 manufacturers 

of brake hoses and end fittings, and 

brake hose assemblers, registered with 

NHTSA. However, about 60 respondents 

annually (annual average from 2014– 

2016) request to have their 

identification marks added to or 

removed from the NHTSA database. To 

comply with this standard, each brake 

hose manufacturer or assembler must 

contact NHTSA and state that they want 

to be added to or removed from the 

NHTSA database of registered brake 

hose manufacturers. This action is 

usually initiated by the manufacturer 

with a brief written request via U.S. 

mail, facsimile, an email message, or a 

telephone call. Since September 1, 2015, 

the request can be submitted via the 

Manufacturer Portal: Online Web-based 

Submittal Center (https://

vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov). Currently, about 90 

percent of requests are received 

electronically and 10 percent via mail. 

The estimated time for complying with 

the labeling requirements of this 

regulation is 1.5 hours per 

manufacturer. The corresponding total 

annual burden is estimated to be 90 

hours (time burden of 1.5 hours per 

manufacturer × 60 manufacturers). The 

estimated manufacturer’s cost for 

complying with this regulation is $100 

per hour. Therefore, the total annual 

cost is estimated to be $9,000 (time 

burden of 90 hours × $100 cost per 

hour). 

Respondents: Business or other for 

profit. 

Number of Respondents: 60. 

Number of Responses: 60. 

Total Annual Burden: 90 hours. 

Public Comments Invited: You are 

asked to comment on any aspect of this 

information collection, including (a) 

Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the 

Department’s performance; (b) the 

accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) 

ways for the Department to enhance the 

quality, utility and clarity of the 

information collection; and (d) ways 

that the burden could be minimized 

without reducing the quality of the 

collected information. The agency will 

summarize and/or include your 

comments in the request for OMB’s 

clearance of this information collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act 

of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as amended; 

and 49 CFR 1:48.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 

before an agency submits a proposed 

collection of information to OMB for 

approval, it 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: 

(1) 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; 

(2) 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; 

(3) How to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; 

(4) 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.

requirements, NHTSA asks for public
