National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR part 566, Manufacturers' Identification.
    OMB Number: 2127-0043.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of an information collection for 
which OMB approval has expired.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations.
    Abstract: If a motor vehicle or item of replacement motor vehicle 
equipment contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety or fails to 
comply with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard, the 
manufacturer is required under 49 U.S.C. 30118 to furnish notification 
of the defect or noncompliance to the Secretary of Transportation, as 
well as to owners, purchasers, and dealers of the motor vehicle or 
replacement equipment, and to remedy the defect or noncompliance 
without charge to the owner. To ensure that manufacturers are meeting 
these and other responsibilities under the statutes and regulations 
administered by NHTSA, the agency issued 49 CFR part 566, Manufacturer 
Identification. The regulations in part 566 require manufacturers of 
motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment, other than tires, to which a 
Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) applies, to submit to 
NHTSA, on a one-time basis, identifying information on themselves and 
on the products that they manufacture to those standards. The 
information must be submitted no later than 30 days after the 
manufacturer begins to manufacture motor vehicles or motor vehicle 
equipment subject to the FMVSS. No specific form need be used for the 
submission of this information. Manufacturers who have previously 
submitted identifying information must ensure that the information on 
file is accurate and complete by submitting revised information no 
later than 30 days after a change in the business that affects the 
validity of that information has occurred.
    Estimated Burden Hours: 33.
    Number of Respondents: 200.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
    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. A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Issued on: June 17, 2010.
