FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Complete copies of each request for
collection of information may be
obtained at no charge from Mary
Versailles, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street,
SW., Room 5320, Washington, DC
20590. Ms. Versailles’ telephone
number is (202) 366–2057. Please
identify the relevant collection of
information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
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 (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
collection of information for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB:
Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer
Information Regulations (sections 103
and 105).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0049.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Motor vehicle
manufacturers of light trucks and utility
vehicles.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date.
Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that
motor vehicle manufacturers comply
with 49 CFR part 575, Consumer
Information Regulation § 575.103 Truckcamper Loading and § 575.105 Utility
Vehicles. Section 575.103, requires that
manufacturers of light trucks that are
capable of accommodating slide-in
campers provide information on the
cargo weight rating and the longitudinal
limits within which the center of gravity
for the cargo weight rating should be
located. Section 575.105, requires that
manufacturers of utility vehicles affix a
sticker in a prominent location alerting
drivers that the particular handling and
maneuvering characteristics of utility
vehicles require special driving
practices when these vehicles are
operated.
Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Based on prior years’ manufacturer
submissions, the agency estimates that
15 responses will be submitted
annually. Currently 12 light truck
manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part
575. These manufacturers file one
response annually and submit an
additional response when they
introduce a new model. Changes are
rarely filed with the agency, but we
estimate that three manufacturers will
alter their information because of model
changes. The light truck manufacturers
gather only pre-existing data for the
purposes of this regulation. Based on
previous years’ manufacturer
information, the agency estimates that
light truck manufacturers use a total of
20 hours to gather and arrange the data
in its proper format (9 hours), to
distribute the information to its
dealerships and attach labels to light
trucks that are capable of
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
accommodating slide-in campers (4
hours), and to print the labels and
utility vehicle information in the
owner’s manual or a separate document
included with the owner’s manual (7
hours). The estimated annual burden
hour is 300 hours. This number reflects
the total responses (15) times the total
hours (20). Prior years’ manufacturer
information indicates that it takes an
average of $35.00 per hour for
professional and clerical staff to gather
data, distribute and print material.
Therefore, the agency estimates that the
cost associated with the burden hours is
$10,500 ($35.00 per hour × 300 burden
hours).
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.

National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This Notice amends and
updates the list of devices that conform
to the Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids.
EFFECTIVE DATE: December 5, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August
2, 1994, NHTSA published Model
E:\FR\FM\05DEN1.SGM
05DEN1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 232 / Monday, December 5, 2005 / Notices
Specifications for Screening Devices to
Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids (59
FR 39382). These specifications
established performance criteria and
methods for testing alcohol screening
devices to measure alcohol content. The
specifications support State laws that
target youthful offenders (e.g., ‘‘zero
tolerance’’ laws) and the Department of
Transportation’s workplace alcohol
testing program. NHTSA published its
first Conforming Products List (CPL) for
screening devices on December 2, 1994
(59 FR 61923, with corrections on
December 16, 1994 in 59 FR 65128),
identifying the devices that meet
NHTSA’s Model Specifications for
Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol
in Bodily Fluids. Five (5) devices
appeared on that first list. Thereafter,
NHTSA amended the CPL on August 15,
1995 (60 FR 42214) and on May 4, 2001
(66 FR 22639), adding seven (7) devices
to the CPL in those two (2) actions.
On September 19, 2005, NHTSA
published an updated CPL (70 FR
54972), adding several devices to the list
and removing several other devices.
Since that publication of the CPL,
NHTSA discovered an error regarding
the name of the device listed on the CPL
for the manufacturer Varian, Inc. This
Notice serves to correct the error by
republishing the CPL in its entirety with
the accurate name of the device.
The Notice published on September
19, 2005 explained that Varian, Inc. of
72503
Lake Forest, California acquired the
‘‘On-Site Alcohol’’ saliva-alcohol
screening device previously owned by
Roche Diagnostics Systems. Varian, Inc.
certified that the ‘‘On-Site Alcohol’’
device it sells is identical to the device
previously sold by Roche. The Roche
Diagnostics device was removed from
the CPL because none of the Roche
devices exist in the marketplace.
However, NHTSA intended to list on
the CPL the Varian, Inc. ‘‘On-Site
Alcohol’’ saliva-alcohol screening
device but instead listed the ‘‘Q.E.D.
A150 Saliva Alcohol Test.’’
Accordingly, NHTSA amends the CPL
to correct this error. The CPL is
reprinted in its entirety below.

1 The
AlcoMate was manufactured by Han International of Seoul, Korea, but marketed and sold in the U.S. by AK Solutions.
the ALCO–SCREEN 02TM saliva-alcohol screening device manufactured by Chematics, Inc. passed the requirements of the Model
Specifications when tested at 40 °C (104 °F), the manufacturer has indicated that the device cannot exceed storage temperatures of 27 °C (80
°F). Instructions to this effect are stated on all packaging accompanying the device. Accordingly, the device should not be stored at temperatures
above 27 °C (80 °F). If the device is stored at or below 27 °C (80 °F) and used at higher temperatures (i.e., within a minute), the device meets
the Model Specifications and the results persist for 10–15 minutes. If the device is stored at or below 27 °C (80 °F) and equilibrated at 40 °C
(104 °F) for an hour prior to sample application, the device fails to meet the Model Specifications. Storage at temperatures above 27 °C (80 °F),
for even brief periods of time, may result in false negative readings.
3 Han International does not market or sell devices directly in the U.S. market. Other devices manufactured by Han International are listed
under AK Solutions, Inc. and Q–3 Innovations, Inc.
4 The AlcoHawk ABI is the same device as that listed under Han International as the ‘‘ABI’’ and is manufactured for Q–3 Innovations by Han
International. The Alcohawk PRO is the same device as the AlcoMate marketed and sold by AK Solutions, and also manufactured by Han International.
5 While this device passed all of the requirements of the Model Specifications, readings should be taken only after the time specified by the
manufacturer. For valid readings, the user should follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Readings should be taken one (1) minute after a sample
is introduced at or above 30 °C (86 °F); readings should be taken after two (2) minutes at 18 °C–29 °C (64.4 °F–84.2 °F); and readings should
be taken after five (5) minutes when testing at temperatures at or below 17 °C (62.6 °F). If the reading is taken before five (5) minutes has
elapsed under the cold conditions, the user is likely to obtain a reading that underestimates the actual saliva-alcohol level.
2 While
The devices manufactured by
Chematics, Inc., OraSure Technologies,
Inc., and Varian, Inc. are all single-use,
disposable saliva alcohol test devices.
All of the other devices listed on the
CPL are electronic breath testers. The
device called the ‘‘Alcotector
WAT89EC–1’’ manufacturered by Guth
Laboratories, Inc. and the PAS Vr device
manufactured by PAS Systems
International, Inc. use fuel-cell sensors,
whereas all other electronic devices
listed on the CPL use semi-conductor
sensors.
