SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
[[Page 2665]]
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, see 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
submission of responses.
In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following collection of information:
Title: Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of
Defects.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0039.
Affected Public: Businesses or others for profit.
Abstract: Sections 30118(e) and 30120(e) of Title 49 of the United
States Code specify that any interested person may petition NHTSA to
hold a hearing to determine whether a manufacturer of motor vehicles or
motor vehicle equipment has met its obligation to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of vehicles or equipment of a safety-related
defect or noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard in
the manufacturer's products and to remedy that defect or noncompliance.
To implement these statutory provisions, NHTSA promulgated 49 CFR
part 557, Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of Defects.
Part 577 establishes procedures providing the submission and
disposition of petitions for hearings on the issues of whether the
manufacturer has met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, and
dealers of safety-related defects or noncompliance, or to remedy such
defect or noncompliance free of charge.
Estimated annual burden: During NHTSA's last renewal of this
information collection, the agency estimated it would receive one
petition a year, with an estimated one hour of preparation for each
petition, for a total of one burden hour per year. That estimate
remains unchanged with this notice.
Number of respondents: 1.
Stephen Ridella,
Director, Office of Defects Investigation, NHTSA.
