(Weekend Warrior) has determined that certain ramp-equipped travel trailers that it produced in 2001 through 2005 do not comply with 49 CFR 571.108, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, ‘‘Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment.’’ Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h), Weekend Warrior has petitioned for a determination that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and has filed an appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance Reports.’’ Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30 day comment period, on November 23, 2005 in the Federal Register (70 FR 70915). NHTSA received one comment. Affected are a total of approximately 13,447 ramp-equipped travel trailers produced between January 2001 and September 2005. FMVSS No. 108 requires that these vehicles be equipped with amber intermediate side marker lamps and reflex reflectors, and red identification lamps. However, the subject vehicles are not equipped with these devices. Weekend Warrior believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. Weekend Warrior states that the noncompliance has caused no safety related accidents or injuries, and that it has received no customer complaints or notification of injuries or deaths related to the absence of the required items. NHTSA has reviewed the petition and has determined that the noncompliance is not inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:49 Jan 31, 2006 Jkt 208001 Weekend Warrior did not equip the subject trailers with identification lamps, intermediate side reflex reflectors, or intermediate side marker lamps, all of which have been required on large trailers since January 1, 1969. The ability of motorists to distinguish large trucks and trailers from passenger vehicles is an essential component of crash avoidance because of size, maneuvering, and speed differences between the two types of vehicles. High mounted identification lamps uniquely identify large vehicles and do so with the longest possible sight preview of the lamps. Intermediate side marker lamps and reflex reflectors provide additional marking to notify oncoming drivers of the presence of a long vehicle and one across the roadway. The agency received one comment from FMVSS Consulting, which supported denial of this petition, based on the safety need for enhanced lighting and conspicuity materials which, the commenter states, are needed because ‘‘[t]railers need abundant conspicuity at night to meet the need for safety.’’ NHTSA agrees. A review of NHTSA’s research report ‘‘An Analysis of Fatal Large Truck Crashes’’ (DOT HS 809 569) indicates that 7,026 passenger vehicle drivers died as a result of crashes with combination trucks (i.e., trucks pulling trailers) from 1996 through 1999. Of those, 11 percent were rear end collisions with the passenger vehicle striking the combination truck, 13 percent were sideswipes where the passenger vehicle encroached, and 5 percent were related to trucks turning across the path of the passenger vehicle. NHTSA believes that commercial vehicle conspicuity may have been a factor in many of these crashes. Therefore, NHTSA concludes that the manufacturer’s installation of these components, as required by FMVSS No. 108, is critical for motor vehicle safety. Weekend Warrior notes that it has not received any complaints or reports of injury as a result of the missing equipment. The agency does not consider the company’s having not received such complaints or reports to be compelling evidence of the inconsequentiality of this noncompliance to safety. In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that the petitioner has not met its burden of persuasion that the noncompliance described is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, Weekend Warrior’s petition is hereby denied. Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120; delegations of authority at CFR 1.50 and 501.8.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The OCC is proposing to extend OMB approval of the following information collection: Title: Recordkeeping Requirements for Securities Transactions—12 CFR part 12. OMB Number: 1557–0142. Description: This submission covers an existing regulation and involves no change to the regulation or to the information collection requirements. The only revisions to the submission are the revised estimates, which have been updated for accuracy. The information collection requirements in 12 CFR part 12 are required to ensure national bank compliance with securities laws and to improve the protection afforded persons who purchase and sell securities through banks. The transaction confirmation information provides customers with a record regarding the transaction and provides banks and the OCC with records to ensure compliance with banking and securities laws and regulations. The OCC uses the required information in its examinations to, among other things, evaluate a bank’s compliance with the antifraud provisions of the Federal securities laws. The information collection requirements contained in 12 CFR part 12 are as follows: Section 12.3 requires a national bank effecting securities transactions for customers to maintain records for at least three years. The ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00179 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 records required by this section must clearly and accurately reflect the information required and provide an adequate basis for the audit of the information. Section 12.4 requires a national bank to give or send to the customer a written notification of transaction or a copy of the registered broker/dealer confirmation relating to the securities transaction. Sections 12.5(a), (b), (c), and (e) allow national banks, as an alternative to complying with § 12.4, to elect to provide alternative forms of notification to customers for certain transactions in accounts in which the bank does not exercise investment discretion, trust transactions, agency transactions and periodic plan transactions. Sections 12.7(a)(1) through (a)(3) require a national bank to develop and maintain written securities trading policies and procedures. Section 12.7(a)(4) requires bank officers and employees to report to the bank all personal transactions in securities made by them or on their behalf in which they have a beneficial interest, if certain conditions are met. Section 12.8 requires a national bank to file a written request with the OCC for a waiver of one or more of the requirements set forth in §§ 12.2 through 12.7. On November 25, 2005, the OCC published in the Federal Register (70 FR 71189) a notice concerning the renewal of this information collection. The OCC received no public comments and is now submitting its request to OMB for approval. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Individuals; Businesses or other for-profit. Estimated Number of Respondents: 585. Estimated Total Annual Responses: 2,369. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,207 hours. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information has practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) Ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and E:\FR\FM\01FEN1.SGM 01FEN1
