FTA Procedures
The regulations implementing NEPA,
as well as provisions of the Safe,
Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for
Users (SAFETEA–LU), calls for public
involvement in the EIS process. Section
6002 of SAFETEA–LU requires that FTA
and CTA do the following: (1) Extend an
invitation to other Federal and nonFederal agencies and Native American
Tribes that may have an interest in the
proposed project to become
‘‘participating agencies;’’ (2) provide an
opportunity for involvement by
participating agencies and the public to
help define the purpose and need for a
proposed project, as well as the range of
alternatives for consideration in the EIS;
and (3) establish a plan for coordinating
public and agency participation in, and
comment on, the environmental review
process. An invitation to become a
participating or cooperating agency,
with scoping materials appended, will
be extended to other Federal and nonFederal agencies and Native American
Tribes that may have an interest in the
proposed project. It is possible that FTA
and CTA will not be able to identify all
Federal and non-Federal agencies and
Native American Tribes that may have
such an interest. Any Federal or nonFederal agency or Native American
Tribe interested in the proposed project
that does not receive an invitation to
become a participating agency should
notify at the earliest opportunity the
Project Manager identified above under
ADDRESSES.
A comprehensive public involvement
program and a Coordination Plan for
public and interagency involvement
will be developed for the project and
posted on CTA’s Web site, https://
www.transitchicago.com/rpmproject.
The public involvement program
includes a full range of activities
including maintaining the project Web
page on the CTA Web site and outreach
to local officials, community and civic
groups, and the public. Specific
activities or events for involvement will
be detailed in the project’s public
participation plan.
The Paperwork Reduction Act seeks,
in part, to minimize the cost to the
taxpayer of the creation, collection,
maintenance, use, dissemination, and
disposition of information. Consistent
with this goal and with principles of
economy and efficiency in government,
it is FTA policy to limit insofar as
possible distribution of complete
printed sets of environmental
documents. Accordingly, unless a
specific request for a complete printed
set of environmental documents is
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
received (preferably in advance of
printing), FTA and its grantees will
distribute only the executive summary
of the environmental document together
with a Compact Disc of the complete
environmental document. A complete
printed set of the environmental
document will be available for review at
the CTA’s offices and elsewhere; an
electronic copy of the complete
environmental document will also be
available on the CTA’s Web page.
The EIS will be prepared in
accordance with NEPA and its
implementing regulations issued by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR Parts 1500–1508) and with the
FTA/Federal Highway Administration
regulations ‘‘Environmental Impact and
Related Procedures’’ (23 CFR Part 771).

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
collection of information:
Title: Consolidated Labeling
Requirements for Motor Vehicles
(except the VIN).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0512.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from the
approval date.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes
the issuance of Federal motor vehicle
safety standards (FMVSS) and
regulations. The agency, in prescribing
a FMVSS or regulations, considers
available relevant motor vehicle safety
data, and consults with other agencies,
as it deems appropriate. Further, the
statute mandates that in issuing any
FMVSS or regulation, the agency
considers whether the standard or
regulation is ‘‘reasonable, practicable
and appropriate for the particular type
of motor vehicle or item of motor
vehicle equipment for which it is
prescribed,’’ and whether such a
standard will contribute to carrying out
the purpose of the Act.
The Secretary is authorized to invoke
such rules and regulations, as deemed
necessary to carry out these
requirements. Using this authority, the
agency issued the following FMVSS and
regulations, specifying labeling
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
requirements to aid the agency in
achieving many of its safety goals:
FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and
electric brake systems,’’
FMVSS No. 135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake
systems,’’
FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’
FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt
assemblies,’’ and
Part 567, ‘‘Certification.’’
This notice requests comments on the
labeling requirements of these FMVSS
and regulations.
FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and
electric brake systems’’ and FMVSS No.
135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake systems,’’
require that each vehicle shall have a
brake fluid warning statement in letters
at least one-eighth of an inch high on
the master cylinder reservoirs and
located so as to be visible by direct
view.
FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’
provides labeling requirements for
glazing and motor vehicle
manufacturers. In accordance with the
standard, NHTSA requires each new
motor vehicle glazing manufacturer to
request and be assigned a unique mark
or number. This number is then used by
the manufacturer as their unique
company identification on their selfcertification label on each piece of
motor vehicle glazing. As part of that
certification label, the company must
identify with the simple two or three
digit number assigned by the agency
and the model of the glazing. In
addition to these requirements, which
apply to all glazing, certain specialty
glazing items, such as standee windows
in buses, roof openings, and interior
partitions made of plastic require that
the manufacturer affix a removable label
to each item. The label specifies
cleaning instructions, which will
minimize the loss of transparency.
Other information may be provided by
the manufacturer but is not required.
FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt
assemblies,’’ requires safety belts to be
labeled with the year of manufacture,
the model, and the name or trademark
of the manufacturer (S4.1(j)).
Additionally replacement safety belts
that are for use only in specifically
stated motor vehicles must have labels
or accompanying instruction sheets to
specify the applicable vehicle models
and seating positions (S4.1(k)). All other
replacement belts are required to be
accompanied by an installation
instruction sheet (S4.1(k)).
Seat belt assemblies installed as
original equipment in new motor
vehicles need not be required to be
labeled with position/model
information. This information is only
useful if the assembly is removed with
PO 00000
Frm 00131
Fmt 4703

the intention of using the assembly as a
replacement in another vehicle; this is
not a common practice.
Part 567, ‘‘Certification,’’ requires each
manufacturer or distributor of motor
vehicles to furnish to the dealer, or
distributor of the vehicle, a certification
that the vehicle meets all applicable
FMVSS. This certification is required by
that provision to be in the form of a
label permanently affixed to the vehicle.
Under 49 U.S.C. 32504, vehicle
manufacturers are directed to make a
similar certification with regard to
bumper standards. To implement this
requirement, NHTSA issued 49 CFR
Part 567. The agency’s regulations
establish form and content requirements
for the certification labels.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): NHTSA
anticipates that approximately 25 new
prime glazing manufactures per year
will contact the agency and request a
manufacturer identification number.
These new glazing manufacturers must
submit one letter, one time, identifying
their company. In turn, the agency
responds by assigning them a unique
manufacturer number. For other
collections in this notice, no response is
necessary from manufacturers. These
labels are only required to be placed on
each master cylinder reservoir, each
safety belt and every motor vehicle
intended for retain sale in the United
Sates. Therefore, the number of
respondents is not applicable.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of
Information: NHTSA estimates that all
manufacturers will need a total of
74,096 hours to comply with these
requirements, at a total annual cost of
1,481,920.
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.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before a proposed collection of information is submitted to OMB for
approval, Federal agencies must first publish a document in the Federal
Register providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with
[[Page 211]]
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 collection of information:
Title: Consolidated Labeling Requirements for Motor Vehicles
(except the VIN).
OMB Control Number: 2127-0512.
Requested Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from the
approval date.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Summary of the Collection of Information: 49 U.S.C. 30111
authorizes the issuance of Federal motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSS) and regulations. The agency, in prescribing a FMVSS or
regulations, considers available relevant motor vehicle safety data,
and consults with other agencies, as it deems appropriate. Further, the
statute mandates that in issuing any FMVSS or regulation, the agency
considers whether the standard or regulation is ``reasonable,
practicable and appropriate for the particular type of motor vehicle or
item of motor vehicle equipment for which it is prescribed,'' and
whether such a standard will contribute to carrying out the purpose of
the Act.
The Secretary is authorized to invoke such rules and regulations,
as deemed necessary to carry out these requirements. Using this
authority, the agency issued the following FMVSS and regulations,
specifying labeling requirements to aid the agency in achieving many of
its safety goals:
FMVSS No. 105, ``Hydraulic and electric brake systems,''
FMVSS No. 135, ``Light vehicle brake systems,''
FMVSS No. 205, ``Glazing materials,''
FMVSS No. 209, ``Seat belt assemblies,'' and
Part 567, ``Certification.''
This notice requests comments on the labeling requirements of these
FMVSS and regulations.
FMVSS No. 105, ``Hydraulic and electric brake systems'' and FMVSS
No. 135, ``Light vehicle brake systems,'' require that each vehicle
shall have a brake fluid warning statement in letters at least one-
eighth of an inch high on the master cylinder reservoirs and located so
as to be visible by direct view.
FMVSS No. 205, ``Glazing materials,'' provides labeling
requirements for glazing and motor vehicle manufacturers. In accordance
with the standard, NHTSA requires each new motor vehicle glazing
manufacturer to request and be assigned a unique mark or number. This
number is then used by the manufacturer as their unique company
identification on their self-certification label on each piece of motor
vehicle glazing. As part of that certification label, the company must
identify with the simple two or three digit number assigned by the
agency and the model of the glazing. In addition to these requirements,
which apply to all glazing, certain specialty glazing items, such as
standee windows in buses, roof openings, and interior partitions made
of plastic require that the manufacturer affix a removable label to
each item. The label specifies cleaning instructions, which will
minimize the loss of transparency. Other information may be provided by
the manufacturer but is not required.
FMVSS No. 209, ``Seat belt assemblies,'' requires safety belts to
be labeled with the year of manufacture, the model, and the name or
trademark of the manufacturer (S4.1(j)). Additionally replacement
safety belts that are for use only in specifically stated motor
vehicles must have labels or accompanying instruction sheets to specify
the applicable vehicle models and seating positions (S4.1(k)). All
other replacement belts are required to be accompanied by an
installation instruction sheet (S4.1(k)).
Seat belt assemblies installed as original equipment in new motor
vehicles need not be required to be labeled with position/model
information. This information is only useful if the assembly is removed
with the intention of using the assembly as a replacement in another
vehicle; this is not a common practice.
Part 567, ``Certification,'' requires each manufacturer or
distributor of motor vehicles to furnish to the dealer, or distributor
of the vehicle, a certification that the vehicle meets all applicable
FMVSS. This certification is required by that provision to be in the
form of a label permanently affixed to the vehicle. Under 49 U.S.C.
32504, vehicle manufacturers are directed to make a similar
certification with regard to bumper standards. To implement this
requirement, NHTSA issued 49 CFR Part 567. The agency's regulations
establish form and content requirements for the certification labels.
Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information):
NHTSA anticipates that approximately 25 new prime glazing manufactures
per year will contact the agency and request a manufacturer
identification number. These new glazing manufacturers must submit one

Resulting from the Collection of Information: NHTSA estimates that all
manufacturers will need a total of 74,096 hours to comply with these
requirements, at a total annual cost of 1,481,920.
Comments are invited on: Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
