SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:

National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
Title: 49 CFR 575—Consumer
Information Regulations (sections 103
and 105).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0049.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Vehicle
manufacturers.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date.
Abstract: NHTSA must ensure that
motor vehicle manufacturers comply
with 49 CFR part 575, Consumer
Information Regulation part 575.103
Truck-camper loading and Part 575.105
Utility Vehicles. Part 575.103 requires
that manufacturers of light trucks that
are capable of accommodating slide-in
campers, provide information on the
cargo weight rating and the longitudinal
limits within which the center of gravity
for the cargo weight rating should be
located. Part 575.105 requires that
manufacturers of utility vehicles, affix a
sticker in a prominent location alerting
drivers that the particular handling and
maneuvering characteristics of utility
vehicles require special driving
practices when these vehicles are
operated.
Estimated Annual Burden: 300 hours.
Number of Respondents: 15.
Based on prior years’ manufacturer
submissions, the agency estimates that
15 responses will be submitted
annually. Currently 12 light truck
manufacturers comply with 49 CFR part
575. These manufacturers file one
response annually and submit an
additional response when they
introduce a new model. Changes are
rarely filed with the agency, but we
estimate that three manufacturers will
alter their information because of model
changes. The light truck manufacturers
gather only pre-existing data for the
purposes of this regulation. Based on
previous years’ manufacturer
information, the agency estimates that
light truck manufacturers use a total of
20 hours. Specifically, manufacturers
use 9 hours to gather and arrange the
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 226001
data in its proper format, 4 hours to
distribute the information to its
dealerships and attach labels to light
trucks that are capable of
accommodating slide-in campers and
7 hours to print the labels and utility
vehicle information in the owner’s
manual or a separate document
included with the owner’s manual. The
estimated annual burden hour is 300
hours. This number reflects the total
responses (15) times the total hours (20).
Prior years’ manufacturer information
indicates that it takes an average of
$35.00 per hour for professional and
clerical staff to gather data, distribute
and print material. Therefore, the
agency estimates that the cost associated
with the burden hours is $10,500
($35.00 per hour × 300 burden hours).
Estimated Annual Cost: $2,432,924.
The annual cost is based on light
truck production. In model year 2011,
light truck manufacturers produced
about 6,951,210 units. By assuming that
all light truck manufacturers (both large
and small volume manufacturers) incur
the same cost, the total annual cost to
comply with statutory requirements,
§ 575.103 and § 575.105 = $2,432,924 (or
$0.35 each unit).
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.
• Whether the Department’s estimate
for the burden of the proposed
information collection is accurate.
• 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.
Issued on: April 26, 2012.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
