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.

In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information:
Title: Petitions for Hearing on
Notification and Remedy of Defects.
Type of Request: Renewal of an
information collection.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0039.
Affected Public: Businesses or
individuals.
Abstract: Sections 30118(e) and
30120(e) of Title 49 of the United States
Code specify that any interested person
may petition NHTSA to hold a hearing
to determine whether a manufacturer of
motor vehicles or motor vehicle
equipment has met its obligation to
notify owners, purchasers, and dealers
of vehicles or equipment of a safetyrelated defect or noncompliance with a
Federal motor vehicle safety standard in
the manufacturer’s products and to
remedy that defect or noncompliance.
To implement these statutory
provisions, NHTSA promulgated 49
CFR part 557, Petitions for Hearings on
Notification and Remedy of Defects. Part
577 establishes procedures providing for
the submission and disposition of
petitions for hearings on the issues of
whether the manufacturer has met its

obligation to notify owners, purchasers,
and dealers of safety-related defects or
noncompliances, or to remedy such
defect or noncompliance free of charge.
Estimated Annual Burden: During
NHTSA’s last renewal of this
information collection, the agency
estimated it would receive two petitions
a year, with an estimated one hour of
preparation for each petition, for total of
two burden hours per year.
Over the past three years, however,
NHTSA has received one petition filed
under 49 CFR Part 557. Our estimated
time for preparation remains the same.
Accordingly, we are revising our burden
estimate for this collection of
information to one burden hour per
year.
