Title: 49 CFR Part 544; Insurer
Reporting Requirement.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0547.
Type of Request: Request for public
comment on a previously approved
collection of information.
Abstract: This information collection
supports the Department’s strategic goal
of Economic Growth and Trade. The
Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement
Act of 1984, added Title VI to the Motor
Vehicle and Information Cost Savings
Act (recodified as Chapter 331 of Title
49, United States Code) which
mandated this information collection.
The 1984 Theft Act was amended by the
Anti Car Theft Act (ACTA) of 1992 (Pub.
L. 102–519). NHTSA is authorized
under 49 U.S.C. 33112, to collect this
information. This information collection
supports the agency’s economic growth
and trade goal through rulemaking
implementation developed to help
reduce the cost of vehicle ownership by
reducing the cost of comprehensive
insurance coverage. 49 U.S.C. 33112
requires certain passenger motor vehicle
insurance companies and rental/leasing
companies to provide information to
NHTSA on comprehensive insurance
premiums, theft and recoveries and
actions taken to address motor vehicle
theft
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
Based on prior years’ insurer
compilation information, the agency
estimates that the time to review and
compile information for the reports will
take approximately a total of 63,238
burden hours (60,004 man-hours for 28
insurance companies and 3,234 manhours for 7 rental and leasing
companies). Claim Adjusters incur
separate burden hours from the number
of insurers. There is one Claim Adjuster
assigned to each insurer. There was a
decrease in several rental and leasing
companies that have merged into one
entity or have been exempted from the
reporting requirements since the last
reporting period. The agency has reestimated the burden hours to be 63,238
total annual hours requested in lieu of
64,610 as the current OMB inventory.
This is a decrease of 1,372 hours. Most
recent year insurer compilation
information estimates reveal that it takes
an average cost of $65.00 per hour for
clerical and technical staff to prepare
the annual reports. Therefore, the
agency estimates the total cost
associated with the burden hours is
$4,110,470.

The burden hour for rental and
leasing companies is significantly less
than that for insurance companies
because rental and leasing companies
comply with fewer reporting
requirements than the insurance
companies. The reporting burden is
based on insurers’ salaries, clerical and
technical expenses, and labor costs.
Comments are invited on: Whether
the proposed collection of information
