Requirements: Agency Information
Collection Activity Under OMB Review
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Request for public comment on
proposed collection of information.
SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can
collect certain information from the
public, it must receive approval from
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB). Under procedures established
by the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, before seeking OMB approval,
Federal agencies must solicit public
comment on proposed collections of
information, including extensions and
reinstatements of previously approved
collections. This document describes
one collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 13, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Refer to the docket notice

Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must 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 regulations (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; 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 submissions of responses. In
compliance with these requirements,
NHTSA asks public comment on the
following proposed collection of
information:
Title: Tire Pressure Monitoring
System—Special Study.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00075
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Type of Request: New information
collection requirement.
OMB Clearance Number: None.
Form Number: This collection of
information uses no standard forms.
Required Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from the date of
approval by OMB (i.e., estimated date of
September 2012).
Abstract: Improperly inflated tires
pose a safety risk, increasing the chance
of skidding, hydroplaning, longer
stopping distances, and crashes due to
flat tires and blowouts. Congress passed
the Transportation Recall Enhancement,
Accountability, and Documentation
(TREAD) Act on November 1, 2000, as
a direct consequence of hearings before
the Committee on Energy and
Commerce on the safety of Firestone
tires and related matters. Section 13 of
the TREAD Act directs NHTSA to
conduct rulemaking actions to revise
and update the Federal motor vehicle
safety standards for tires, to improve
labeling on tires, and to require a system
in new motor vehicles that warns the
operator when a tire is significantly
underinflated.
In response to Section 13 of the
TREAD Act, NHTSA’s National Center
for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA)
conducted the Tire Pressure Special
Study (TPSS) in February 2001. The
TPSS was designed to assess to what
extent passenger vehicle operators are
aware of the recommended tire
pressures for their vehicles, the
frequency and the means they use to
measure their tire pressure, and how
significantly the actual measured tire
pressure differed from the
manufacturer’s recommended tire
pressure. The TPSS found that 26
percent of the cars and 29 percent of
LTVs had at least one tire more than 25
percent below the pressure
recommended by the manufacturer, as
specified on the placard located on the
inside of the driver side door.
In an effort to decrease the number of
vehicles with improperly inflated tires,
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems
(TPMS) were mandated in Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 138, so that drivers are warned
when the pressure in one or more of the
vehicle’s tires has fallen to 25 percent or
more below the placard pressure, or a
minimum level of pressure specified in
the standard, whichever pressure is
higher. To meet FMVSS No. 138, TPMS
must indicate which of the four tires is
underinflated. As of September 1, 2007,
TPMS was required on all new light
vehicles (i.e., passenger cars, trucks,
multipurpose passenger vehicles, and
buses with a gross vehicle weight rating
of 10,000 pounds or less, except those
