SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Title: Confidential Business Information. Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection. Form Number: This collection of information uses no standard forms. OMB Control Number: 2127–0025. Frequency: Submission of information pursuant to this regulation will depend on the frequency with which a given entity, such as a manufacturer of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment, submits information and a request that the agency hold the information confidential, generally pursuant to Exemption 4 of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Affected Public: This collection of information would apply to any person who seeks to have the agency treat as confidential information submitted to the agency either voluntarily or pursuant to a mandatory information request issued by the agency. Thus, the collection of information could apply to any of the entities over which the agency exercises regulatory authority. Recent trends lead the agency to estimate that NHTSA will receive approximately 450 requests for confidential treatment in 2007 and subsequent years. Large manufacturers make the vast majority of requests for confidential treatment. Abstract: NHTSA’s Confidential Business Information (CBI) rule, coupled with case law, has governed the submission of requests for confidential treatment of information for over 20 years. Recently, NHTSA amended the regulation to address submissions contained in an electronic medium (such as a CD–ROM). See 72 FR 59434 (Oct. 19, 2007). Estimated Annual Burden: Using the above estimate of approximately 450 requests for confidentiality per year, with an estimated eight hours of preparation to collect and provide the information, at an assumed rate of $26.70 an hour, the annual estimated cost of collecting and preparing the information necessary for 450 complete requests for confidential treatment is about $96,120 (8 hours of preparation × 450 requests × $26.70). Adding in a postage cost of $2,070 (450 requests at a cost of $4.60 for postage), we estimate that it will cost $98,190 per year for persons to prepare and submit the information necessary to satisfy the E:\FR\FM\15JAN1.SGM 15JAN1
