they were likely to be high or low theft,
and to light duty trucks with major parts
that are interchangeable with a majority
of the covered major parts of
multipurpose passenger vehicles. The
final rule became effective September 1,
2006.
As a result of this amendment,
determination of high theft status is
required only for LDTs manufactured on
or after that date. There are seven
vehicle manufacturers who produce
LDTs. Generally, these manufacturers
would not introduce more than one new
LDT line in any year. Therefore, NHTSA
estimates that the maximum number of
responses on or after September 1, 2006
will be seven. As in previous
submissions, NHTSA estimates that the
average hours per submittal are 45, for
a total annual burden of 315 hours. This
is a reduction in the previous OMB
inventory of 900 hours. NHTSA
estimates that the cost associated with
the burden hours is $57.06 per hour, for
a total cost of approximately $18,000.
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.
Issued on: September 13, 2007.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
