Abstract: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30117(b) a manufacturer of a motor vehicle or 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 currently collect and maintain purchaser information for business reasons, such as warranty claims processing and marketing, and experience with this statutory requirement has shown that manufacturers have retained this information in a sufficient manner to enable them to expeditiously notify vehicle purchasers in the case of a safety recall. Estimated Annual Burden: Zero. As a practical matter, vehicle manufacturers are presently collecting from their dealers and then maintaining first purchaser information for their own commercial reasons. Therefore, the statutory requirement does not impose any additional burden. Number of Respondents: 1,000.
