describing what must be included in
such a document. Under OMB’s

In compliance with these

comments on the following proposed
collections of information:
Title: Phase-in Production Reporting

Abstract: The Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability, and
Documentation (TREAD) Act mandates
in Section 13, that the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) complete ‘‘a rulemaking for a
regulation to require a warning system
in new motor vehicles to indicate to the
operator when a tire is significantly
under inflated.’’
NHTSA issued a final rule on April 8,
2005, establishing Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems,
in response to Section 13 of the TREAD
ACT. FMVSS No. 138 specifies that
compliance be phased in over a 2-year
period beginning on October 5, 2005 as
follows: between October 5, 2005 and
August 31, 2006, 20 percent of new
vehicles produced must comply with
FMVSS No. 138; 70 percent of vehicles
produced between September 1, 2006
and August 31, 2007 must comply with
the Standard; and all vehicles produced
after August 31, 2007 must comply with
FMVSS No. 138. The agency decided to
include both carry-forward and carryback credit features in FMVSS No. 138,
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

which provide vehicle manufacturers
the opportunity to count compliant
vehicles manufactured in a given year
toward the phase-in percentage
requirements for one of the subsequent
phase-in years (carry-forward), or to
count compliant vehicles manufactured
in a given year toward the phase-in
percentage requirements for the
previous phase-in year. This
information collection request would
provide the agency with vehicle
manufacturers’ production data to verify
that the manufacturers have met the
production requirements of the phase-in
as detailed in Section S7 of the
Standard.
Estimated Annual Burden: 42 hours.
Number of Respondents: 21 motor
vehicle manufacturers.
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;
