and theft prevention standards
administered by NHTSA. The
information collection also includes the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
conformance bond that is furnished to
CBP (on form HS–474) for each motor
vehicle offered for importation that does
not conform to all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSS). The bond ensures that such
vehicles are brought into conformity
with those standards within 120 days
from the date of entry or are exported
from, or abandoned to, the United
States. The information collection also
includes paperwork that must be
submitted to NHTSA and in some
instances retained by registered
importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that
were not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable FMVSS.
These items include information that a
person or business entity must submit to
NHTSA to be registered as an RI and to
retain that status. The paperwork also
includes the statement of conformity
that an RI must submit to NHTSA
following the completion of
conformance modifications on an
imported nonconforming vehicle to
obtain release of the DOT conformance
bond furnished for the vehicle at the
time of entry. Also included is the
petition that an RI or manufacturer may
submit to NHTSA for the agency to
decide that a vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable FMVSS is capable of
being modified to conform to those
standards and is therefore eligible for
importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141. The
information collection also includes
applications that are filed with NHTSA
for permission to import nonconforming
vehicles for purposes of research,
investigations, demonstrations, training,
competitive racing events, and show or
display, as well as applications
requesting the agency to recognize
vehicles manufactured for racing
purposes as being qualified to be
imported as vehicles that were not
primarily manufactured for use on
public roads, precluding the need for
those vehicles to comply with the
FMVSS. This information collection is
necessary to ensure that motor vehicles
and motor vehicle equipment subject to
the Federal motor vehicle safety,
bumper, and theft prevention standards
are lawfully imported into the United
States and that RIs and applicants for RI
status are capable of meeting their
obligations under the statutes and
regulations governing the importation of
nonconforming vehicles.
Affected Public: Individuals and
commercial entities that import motor

A comment to OMB is most effective
if OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
notice identifies two existing
information collections PHMSA is
submitting to OMB for renewal and
extension. These information
collections are found in 49 CFR Parts
192, 195, and 199 of the pipeline safety

approval for both information
collections.
Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, PHMSA is required to obtain
OMB approval for information
collections. The term ‘‘information
collection’’ includes all work related to
preparing and disseminating
information related to these information
collection requirements including
completing paperwork, gathering
information, and conducting telephone
calls. PHMSA published a notice
providing a 60-day period for comments
on the renewal of information in the
Federal Register on Friday 8, 2007 (72
FR 31896–31897), and received no
comments. PHMSA invites comments
on whether the proposed information
collections are necessary for DOT’s
proper performance. The comments may
include (1) whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
DOT’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collections; (3)

I. Background
The IAEA is the world’s center of
cooperation in the nuclear field. The
Agency works with its Member States
and multiple partners worldwide to
promote safe, secure and peaceful
nuclear technologies. The IAEA
established and maintains an
international standard, Regulations for
the Safe Transport of Radioactive
Material (TS–R–1), to promote the safe
and secure transportation of radioactive
material. The IAEA periodically revises
its Regulations for the Safe Transport of
Radioactive Material to reflect new
information and accumulated
experience. The DOT is the U.S.
competent authority before the IAEA for
radioactive material transportation
matters. The NRC provides technical
support to the DOT in this regard,
particularly with regard to Type B and
fissile transportation packages.
The IAEA recently initiated the
review cycle for a potential 2011 edition
of its regulations. To assure opportunity
for public participation in the
international regulatory development
process, the DOT and the NRC are
soliciting comments and information
concerning issues or problems with the
IAEA Regulations.
The focus of this solicitation is to
identify issues or problems with the
2005 edition of TS–R–1. While it is
helpful to identify potential changes or
solutions to resolve the identified issues
or problems, you need not provide a
proposed change to accompany each
identified issue or problem. This
information will assist the DOT and the
NRC to consider the full range of views
as the agencies develop the proposed
issues the United States will submit to
the IAEA.
II. Public Participation
Proposed issues or identified
problems should identify docket
number PHMSA–07–28590 (Notice No.
07–6). Persons wishing to receive
confirmation of receipt of their
proposals should include a selfaddressed stamped postcard. Internet
users may access all proposals received
by the U.S. Department of
Transportation at https://dms.dot.gov.
Proposals must be submitted in
writing (electronic file on disk in
Microsoft Word format preferred) and
should include:
• Name;
• Address;
• Telephone number;
• E-mail address;
• Principal objective of issue or
identified problem (e.g., required to
provide adequate protection to health
