Type of Request: Request for public
comment on proposed collection of
information.
Abstract: As required by the
Government Performance and Results
Act of 1993 and Executive Order 12866
(58 FR 51735), NHTSA reviews existing
regulations to determine if they are
achieving policy goals. Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) 105
(49 CFR 571.105) and FMVSS 121 (49
CFR 571.12) require ABS and a
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on all
new heavy vehicles with a Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of
10,000 pounds or more. Implementation
of the standards was performed over a
three-year period; air-brake truck
tractors manufactured on or after March
7, 1997, air-brake trailers and single-unit
trucks manufactured on or after March
1, 1998, and hydraulic brake trucks
manufactured on or after March 1, 1999.
FMVSS 223 (49 CFR 571.223) and 224
(49 CFR 571.224) set minimum
requirements for the geometry,
configuration, strength and energy
absorption capability of rear impact
guards on full trailers and semi-trailers
over 10,000 pounds GVWR
manufactured on or after January 26,
1998. NHTSA’s Office of Planning,
Evaluation, and Budget is planning a
highway crash data collection effort that
will provide adequate information to
perform an evaluation of the
effectiveness of ABS and rear impact
guards for heavy trucks. This study will
estimate the actual safety benefits
(crashes, injuries, and fatalities avoided)
achieved by the standards and provide
a basis for assessing whether the
standards are functioning as intended.
Highway crash data will be analyzed to
the extent that the experiences of heavy
trucks equipped with ABS and rear
impact guards can be compared with the
experiences of heavy trucks not so
equipped.
Affected Public: State and Local
Governments in North Carolina.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: The
annual burden is estimated to be 4,036
hours.
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;
