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:
    (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:
    Title: 23 CFR part 1350 Certificate Requirements for Section 2010 
Motorcyclist Safety Grant Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0650.
    Affected Public: 50 States, the District of Columbia and Puerto 
Rico.
    Form Number: NA.
    Abstract: A motorcyclist safety incentive grant is available to 
help States enhance motorcyclist safety training and motorcyclist 
awareness programs. To qualify for a first year grant under the grant 
program, a State must demonstrate that it has satisfied one of six 
criteria: (1) Statewide motorcycle rider training course, (2) statewide 
motorcyclists awareness program, (3) reduction of fatalities and 
crashes involving motorcycles, (4) statewide impaired driving program, 
(5) reduction of fatalities and accidents involving impaired 
motorcyclists, and (6) use of fees collected from motorcyclists for 
motorcycle programs. In second and subsequent fiscal years, a State 
must demonstrate that it has satisfied at least two of six criteria.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1560 hours.
    Number of Respondents: 50 States, the District of Columbia and 
Puerto Rico.
    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.
