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
