Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 242 / Tuesday, December 18, 2007 / Notices being submitted for clearance by OMB as required by the PRA. Title: Accident/Incident Reporting and Recordkeeping. OMB Control Number: 2130–0500. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Affected Public: Railroads. Form(s): FRA F 6180.54/55/55A/56/ 57/78/81/97/98/99/107. Abstract: The collection of information is due to the railroad accident reporting regulations set forth in 49 CFR part 225 which require railroads to submit monthly reports summarizing collisions, derailments, and certain other accidents/incidents involving damages above a periodically revised dollar threshold, as well as certain injuries to passengers, employees, and other persons on railroad property. Because the reporting requirements and the information needed regarding each category of accident/incident are unique, a different form is used for each category. Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 47,521 hours. Addressee: Send comments regarding these information collections to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 Seventeenth Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention: FRA Desk Officer. Comments may also be sent via e-mail to OMB at the following address: oira_submissions@omb.eop.gov. Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed collections of information are 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 estimates of the burden of the proposed information collections; ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology.

Bentley has filed an appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. Notice of receipt of a petition was published, with a 30-day public comment period on August 16, 2007 in the Federal Register (72 FR 46126). The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received no comments. To view the petition and all supporting documents: Go to https:// www.regulations.gov and enter the legacy docket no.

Paragraph S4.5.1(b)(3)of FMVSS No. 208 requires: (3) Vehicles certified to meet the requirements specified in S19, S21, or S23 on or after September 1, 2003 shall have a label permanently affixed to either side of the sun visor, at the manufacturer’s option, at each front outboard seating position that is equipped with an inflatable restraint. The label shall conform in content to the label shown in Figure 11 of this standard and shall comply with the requirements of S4.5.1(b)(3)(i) through S4.5.1(b)(3)(iv). (i) The heading area shall be yellow with the word ‘‘WARNING’’ and the alert symbol in black. (ii) The message area shall be white with black text. The message area shall be no less than 30 cm2 (4.7 in2). (iii) The pictogram shall be black on a white background. The pictogram shall be no less than 30 mm (1.2 in) in length. (iv) If the vehicle does not have a back seat, the label shown in the figure may be PO 00000 Frm 00120 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 modified by omitting the statement: ‘‘The BACK SEAT is the SAFEST place for CHILDREN.’’ (v) If the vehicle does not have a back seat or the back seat is too small to accommodate a rear-facing child restraint consistent with S4.5.4.1, the label shown in the figure may be modified by omitting the statement: ‘‘Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front.’’ Paragraph S4.5.1(e)(3) of FMVSS No. 208 requires: (3) Vehicles certified to meet the requirements specified in S19, S21, and S23 on or after December 1, 2003, that are equipped with an inflatable restraint for the passenger position shall have a label attached to a location on the dashboard or the steering wheel hub that is clearly visible from all front seating positions. The label need not be permanently affixed to the vehicle. This label shall conform in content to the label shown in Figure 12 of this standard and shall comply with the requirements of S4.5.1(e)(3)(i) through S4.5.1(e)(3)(iv). (i) The heading area shall be yellow with black text. (ii) The message area shall be white with black text. The message area shall be no less than 30 cm2 (4.7 in2).

Bentley stated that it has corrected the problem that caused these errors so that they will not be repeated in future production. Bentley also states that it believes the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. Bentley argues that because the ‘‘preadvanced’’ sun visor labels used on the vehicles carry essentially the equivalent or even more emphatic warnings to those required in the regulation and because the owner’s manual information correctly describes the advanced air bag system, there is no safety risk or cause for consumer confusion arising from the installed labeling. Bentley additionally states that the vehicles otherwise comply with all advanced air bag requirements, that the E:\FR\FM\18DEN1.SGM 18DEN1
