Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 29 / Monday, February 13, 2012 / Notices
information collection may be
submitted to OMB.
Title: Tire Identification and
Recordkeeping.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0050.
Form Number: This collection of
information uses no standard form.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection of
information.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: 49 U.S.C. 30117(b) requires
each tire manufacturer to collect and
maintain records of the first purchasers
of new tires. To carry out this mandate,
49 CFR Part 574, Tire Identification and
Recordkeeping, requires tire dealers and
distributors to record the names and
addresses of retail purchasers of new
tires and the identification numbers(s)
of the tires sold. A specific form is
provided to tire dealers and distributors
by tire manufacturers for recording this
information. The completed forms are
returned to the tire manufacturers where
they are retained for not less than five
years. Part 574 requires independent tire
dealers and distributors to provide a
registration form to consumers with the
tire identification number(s) already
recorded and information identifying
the dealer/distributor. The consumer
can then record his/her name and
address and return the form to the tire
manufacturer via U.S. mail, or
alternatively, the consumer can provide
this information electronically on the
tire manufacturer’s Web site if the tire
manufacturer provides this capability.
Additionally, motor vehicle
manufacturers are required to record the
names and addresses of the first
purchasers (for purposes other than
resale), together with the identification
numbers of the tires on the new vehicle,
and retain this information for not less
than five years.
Description of the Need for the
Information and the Use of the
Information: The information is used by
a tire manufacturer after it or the agency
determines that some of its tires either
fail to comply with an applicable safety
standard or contain a safety related
defect. With the information, the tire
manufacturer can notify the first
purchaser of the tire and provide them
with any necessary information or
instructions to remedy the noncompliance situation or safety defect.
Without this information, efforts to
identify the first purchaser of tires that
have been determined to be defective or
nonconforming pursuant to Sections
30118 and 30119 of Title 49 U.S.C.
would be impeded. Further, the ability
of the purchasers to take appropriate
action in the interest of motor vehicle
safety may be compromised.

Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): We estimate
that the collection of information affects
10 million respondents annually. This
group consists of approximately 20 tire
manufacturers, 59,000 new tire dealers
and distributors and 10 million
consumers who choose to register their
tire purchases with tire manufacturers.
A response is required by motor vehicle
manufacturers upon each sale of a new
vehicle and by non-independent tire
dealers with the each sale of a new tire.
A consumer may elect to respond when
purchasing a new tire from an
independent tire dealer.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of
Information: The estimated burden is as
follows:
New tire dealers and distributors:
59,000.
Consumers: 10,000,000.
Total tire registrations (manual):
54,000,000.
Total tire registration hours (manual):
225,000.
Recordkeeping hours (manual):
25,000.
Total annual tire registration and
recordkeeping hours: 250,000.
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.
A comment to OMB is most effective if
OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication of this notice.
