Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit 
public comment on proposed collections of information, including 
extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections.
    This document describes the collection of information associated 
with NHTSA's regulations in 49 CFR Part 566 Manufacturer 
Identification, which require manufacturers of motor vehicles and motor 
vehicle equipment that is subject to the standards enforced by the 
agency to identify themselves and their products to NHTSA. The agency

Washington, DC 20590-0001. Telephone: (202) 366-5302 Refer to: OMB 
Control Number 2127-0043.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register 
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of 
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of 
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must 
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology (e.g. permitting electronic 
submission of responses). In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA 
asks for public comments on the following proposed collection of 
information:
    Title: 49 CFR Part 566, Manufacturer's Identification.

regulations in 49 CFR Part 566 Manufacturer Identification to permit 
the agency to identify the responsible manufacturer and send an
