[[Page 34522]]

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: 49 CFR Part 571.116, Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids.
    OMB Number: 2127-0521.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 116, ``Motor 
Vehicle Brake Fluids,'' specifies performance and design requirements 
for motor vehicle brake fluids and hydraulic system mineral oils. 
Section 5.2.2 specifies labeling requirements for manufacturers and 
packagers of brake fluids as well as packagers of hydraulic system 
mineral oils. The information on the label of a container of motor 
vehicle brake fluid or hydraulic system mineral oil is necessary to 
insure: The contents of the container are clearly stated; these fluids 
are used for their intended purpose only; and the containers are 
properly disposed of when empty. Improper use or storage of these 
fluids could have dire safety consequences for the operators of 
vehicles or equipment in which they are used.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit organizations.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7000 hours.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
    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.
