requirements on the basis of nonavailability. In this instance, however,
FTA is proceeding with an abundance
of caution, given the unique
circumstances by which a prospective
FTA grantee issued a request for
proposals without the inclusion of the
traditional Buy America clause,
intending to fully underwrite the
contract using exclusively local funding.
Therefore, in order to understand
completely the facts surrounding the
RTC’s request, FTA seeks comment from
all interested parties regarding the
RTC’s justifications. A full copy of the
RTC’s petition has been placed in
docket number FTA–2008–0048, along
with a letter written by ISE Corporation
supporting the RTC’s request. Please
submit comments by November 12,
2008. Late-filed comments will be
considered to the extent practicable.
Issued this 29th day of October 2008.

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 5CFR 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: 49 CFR 571.403, Platform lift
systems for motor vehicles and 49 CFR
571.404, Platform lift installations in
motor vehicles.

Jkt 217001
OMB Control Number: 2127–0621.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Platform lift
manufacturers and vehicle
manufacturers/alterers that install
platform lifts in new motor vehicles
before first vehicle sale.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date
Abstract: FMVSS No. 403, Platform
lift systems for motor vehicle,
establishes minimum performance
standards for platform lifts designed for
installation on motor vehicles. Its
purpose is to prevent injuries and
fatalities to passengers and bystanders
during the operation of platform lifts
that assist persons with limited mobility
in entering and leaving a vehicle.
FMVSS No. 404, Platform lift
installations in motor vehicles, places
specific requirements on vehicle
manufacturers or alterers who install
platform lifts in new vehicles. Under
these regulations, lift manufacturers
must certify that their lifts meet the
requirements of FMVSS No. 403 and
must declare the certification on the
owner’s manual insert, the installation
instructions and the lift operating
instruction label. Certification of
compliance with FMVSS No. 404 is on
the certification label already required
of vehicle manufacturers and alterers
under 49 CFR Part 567. Therefore, lift
manufacturers must produce and insert
that is placed in the vehicle owner’s
manual, installation instructions and
one or two labels that are placed near
the controls of the lift. The requirements
and our estimates of burden and cost to
the lift manufacturers are given below.
There is no burden to the general
public.
Estimated Annual Burden:
• Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce an insert for
the vehicle owner’s manual stating the
lift’s platform operating volume,
maintenance schedule, and instructions
regarding the lift operating procedures:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year.
• Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce lift
installation instructions identifying the
vehicles on which the lift is designed to
be installed:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year
• Estimated burden to lift
manufacturers to produce two labels for
operating and backup lift operation:
—10 manufacturers × 24 hrs. amortized
over 5 yrs. = 48 hrs. per year
• Estimated cost to lift manufacturers
to produce:

—Owner’s manual insert—27, 398 lifts
× $0.04 per page × 1 page = $1,095.92.
—Installation instructions—27,398 lifts
× $0.04 per page × 1 page = $1,095.92.
Note: Although lift installation instructions
are considerably more than one page, lift
manufacturers already provide lift
installation instructions in the normal course
of business and one additional page should
be adequate to allow the inclusion of FMVSS
specific information.
Total estimated annual cost =
$9,315.32.
Total estimated hour burden per year
= 144 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
