Abstract: The information to be
collected is in response to 49 CFR Part
564, ‘‘Replaceable Light Source
Dimensional Information.’’ Persons
desiring to use newly designed
replaceable headlamp light sources are
required to submit interchangeability
and performance specifications to the
agency. After a short agency review to
assure completeness, the information is
placed in a public docket for use by any
person who would desire to
manufacture headlamp light sources for
highway motor vehicles. In Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108,
Lamps, reflective devices and associated
equipment,’’ Part 564 submission are
referenced as being the source of
information regarding the performance
and interchangeability information for
legal headlamp light sources, whether
original equipment or replacement
equipment. Thus, the submitted
information about headlamp light
sources becomes the basis for
certification of compliance with safety
standards.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit organizations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28

Title: Compliance Labeling of
Retroreflective Materials Heavy Trailer
Conspicuity.
OMB Number: 2127–0569.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 108, ‘‘Lamps Reflective
Devices, and Associated Equipment,’’
specifies requirements for vehicle lighting for
the purposes of reducing traffic accidents and
their tragic results by providing adequate
roadway illumination, improved vehicle
conspicuity, appropriate information
transmission through signal lamps, in both
day, night, and other conditions of reduced
visibility. For certifications and identification
purposes, the Standard requires the
permanent marking of the letters ‘‘DOT–C2,’’
‘‘DOT–C3’’, or ‘‘DOT–C4’’ at least 3mm high
at regular intervals on retroreflective sheeting
material having adequate performance to
provide effective trailer conspicuity.

Jkt 205001
The manufacturers of new tractors and
trailers are required to certify that their
products are equipped with retroreflective
material complying with the requirements of
the standard. The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) Office of Motor
Carrier Safety enforces this and other
standards through roadside inspections of
trucks. There is no practical field test for the
performance requirements, and labeling is
the only objective way of distinguishing
trailer conspicuity grade material from lower
performance material. Without labeling,
FHWA will not be able to enforce the
performance requirements of the standard
and the compliance testing of new tractors
and trailers will be complicated. Labeling is
also important to small trailer manufactures
because it may help them to certify
compliance. Because wider stripes or
material of lower brightness also can provide
the minimum safety performance, the
marking system serves the additional role of
identifying the minimum stripe width
required for retroreflective brightness of the
particular material. Since the differences
between the brightness grades of suitable
retroreflective conspicuity material is not
obvious from inspection, the marking system
is necessary for tractor and trailer
manufacturers and repair shops to assure
compliance and for FHWA to inspect tractors
and trailers in use.
Permanent labeling is used to identify
retroreflective material having the minimum
properties required for effective conspicuity
of trailers at night. The information enables
the FHWA to make compliance inspections,
and it aids tractor and trailer owners and
repairs shops in choosing the correct repair
materials for damaged tractors and trailers. It
also aids smaller trailer manufacturers in
certifying compliance of their products.
The FHWA will not be able to determine
whether trailers are properly equipped
during roadside inspections without labeling.
The use of cheaper and more common
reflective materials, which are ineffective for
the application, would be expected in repairs
without the labeling requirement.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit organizations.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28
Hours.
