ACTION: Invitation for public comments
on a requested administrative waiver of
the Coastwise Trade Laws for the vessel
CARRERA.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: As authorized by Public Law
105–383 and Public Law 107–295, the
Secretary of Transportation, as
represented by the Maritime
Administration (MARAD), is authorized
to grant waivers of the U.S.-build
requirement of the coastwise laws under
certain circumstances. A request for
such a waiver has been received by
MARAD. The vessel, and a brief
description of the proposed service, is
listed below. The complete application
is given in DOT docket MARAD–2008–

Interested parties may comment on the
effect this action may have on U.S.
vessel builders or businesses in the U.S.

determines, in accordance with Public
Law 105–383 and MARAD’s regulations
at 46 CFR part 388 (68 FR 23084; April
30, 2003), that the issuance of the
waiver will have an unduly adverse
effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or a
business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in
that business, a waiver will not be
granted. Comments should refer to the
docket number of this notice and the
vessel name in order for MARAD to
properly consider the comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:38 Jan 18, 2008
Jkt 214001
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, see 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; and
(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: Names and Addresses of First
Purchasers of Motor Vehicles.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0044.
Type of Request: Renewal of a
currently approved information
collection.
Affected Public: Businesses or others
for profit.
Abstract: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
30117(b), a manufacturer of a motor
vehicle or tire (except a retreaded tire)
must maintain a record of the name and
address of the first purchasers of each
vehicle or tire it produces and, to the
extent prescribed by regulation of the
Secretary, must maintain a record of the
name and address of the first purchaser
of replacement equipment (except a tire)
that the manufacturer produces.
Vehicle manufacturers presently
collect and maintain purchaser
information for business reasons, such
as for warranty claims processing and
marketing, and experience with this
statutory requirement has shown that
manufacturers have retained this
information in a manner sufficient to
enable them to expeditiously notify
vehicle purchasers in the case of a safety
recall. Based on industry custom and
PO 00000
Frm 00140
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
3799
this experience, NHTSA therefore
determined that the regulation
mentioned in 49 U.S.C. 30117(b) was
unnecessary as to vehicle
manufacturers. As an aside, the
requirements for maintaining tire
purchaser information are contained in
49 CFR part 574, Tire Identification and
Recordkeeping, and the burden of that
information collection is not part of this
information collection.
Estimated Annual Burden:
Previously, NHTSA estimated this
collection’s burden at 1,075,000 hours.
This was reached from our estimate that
there was an annual burden of 875,000
hours associated with the recording of
purchaser information at the time of sale
by dealers, and an additional 200,000
burden hours associated with
recordkeeping by manufacturers.
As discussed above, as a practical
matter vehicle manufacturers are
presently collecting from their dealers
and then maintaining first purchaser
information for their own commercial
reasons. Therefore, we do not believe
that the requirement in 49 U.S.C.
30117(b) imposes any additional burden
on that community. We believe our
previous estimate is inaccurate and
greatly exaggerates the burden on
vehicle manufacturers. Accordingly, we
have revised the estimated annual
burden for this collection to zero burden
hours.
Number of Respondents: We estimate
that there are roughly 1,000
manufacturers of motor vehicles that
collect and keep first purchaser
information.
