forth above is amended to read that the
grants are for ‘‘* * * capital
improvements, and related
infrastructure improvements at qualified
shipyards that will facilitate the
efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and
quality of domestic ship construction,
ship conversion and/or ship repair for
commercial and Federal Government
use.’’ Item No. 4 is amended in
pertinent part to request information
concerning how the project ‘‘* * * will
facilitate the efficiency, costeffectiveness, and quality of domestic
ship construction, ship conversion, and/
or ship repair for commercial and
Federal Government use.’’
Because many small shipyards do not
have audited financial statements, Item
No. 7 is amended to add at the end the
following sentence: ‘‘If audited financial
statements are not available, compiled
financial statements by an independent
Certified Public Accountant should be
submitted.’’
All other terms, conditions and

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

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–

effect this action may have on U.S.
vessel builders or businesses in the U.S.
that use U.S.-flag vessels. If MARAD
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.
Comments should also state the
commenter’s interest in the waiver
application, and address the waiver
criteria given in § 388.4 of MARAD’s

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Complete copies of each request for
collection of information may be
obtained at no charge from Markus
Price, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., W43–472 NVS–121,
Washington, DC 20590. Mr. Markus
Price’s telephone number is (202) 366–
0098. Please identify the relevant
collection of information by referring to
its OMB Control Number.
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 collections of
information:
Title: Compliance Labeling of
Retroreflective Materials Heavy Trailer
Conspicuity.
OMB Number: 2127–0569.
Type of Request: Extension of
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit organizations.
Abstract: Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 108, ‘‘Lamps,
Reflective Devices, and Associated
Equipment,’’ specifies requirements for
vehicle lighting for the purposes of
reducing traffic accidents and their
tragic results by providing adequate
roadway illumination, improved vehicle
conspicuity, appropriate information
transmission through signal lamps, in
day, night, and other conditions of
reduced visibility. For certifications and
identification purposes, the Standard
requires the permanent marking of the
letters DOT–C2, DOT–C3, or DOT–C4 at
least 3 mm high at regular intervals on
retroreflective sheeting material having
adequate performance to provide
effective trailer conspicuity.
The manufacturers of new tractors
and trailers are required to certify that
their products are equipped with
retroreflective material complying with
the requirements of the standard. The
Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Office of Motor Carrier Safety
enforces this and other standards
through roadside inspections of trucks.
There is no practical field test for the
performance requirements, and labeling
is the only objective way of
distinguishing trailer conspicuity grade
material from lower performance
material. Without labeling, FHWA will
not be able to enforce the performance
requirements of the standard and the
compliance testing of new tractors and
trailers will be complicated. Labeling is
also important to small trailer
manufacturers because it may help them
to certify compliance. Because wider
stripes or material of lower brightness
also can provide the minimum safety
performance, the marking system serves
the additional role of identifying the
minimum stripe width required for
retroreflective brightness of the
particular material. Since the
differences between the brightness
grades of suitable retroreflective
PO 00000
Frm 00137
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
8399
conspicuity material is not obvious from
inspection, the marking system is
necessary for tractor and trailer
manufacturers and repair shops to
assure compliance and for FHWA to
inspect tractors and trailers in use.
Permanent labeling is used to identify
retroreflective material having the
minimum properties required for
effective conspicuity of trailers at night.
The information enables the FHWA to
make compliance inspections, and it
aids tractor and trailer owners and
repairs shops in choosing the correct
repair materials for damaged tractors
and trailers. It also aids smaller trailer
manufacturers in certifying compliance
of their products.
The FHWA will not be able to
determine whether trailers are properly
equipped during roadside inspections
without labeling. The use of cheaper
and more common reflective materials,
which are ineffective for the
application, would be expected in
repairs without the labeling
requirement.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
Issued: February 5, 2008.
