Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: An assurance of confidentiality is not offered because the information collection does not affect individuals or households; thus, there are no impacts under the Privacy Act. Privacy Act: No impact(s). Needs and Uses: The Federal Communications Commission (‘‘Commission’’) received approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to revise OMB Control No. 3060– 1153 to reflect new and/or modified information collections as a result of an Order on Reconsideration titled ‘‘In the Matter of Amendment of part 27 of the Commission’s rules to Govern the Operation of Wireless Communications Services in the 2.3 GHz Band; Establishment of Rules and Policies for the Digital Audio Radio Satellite Service in the 2310–2360 MHz Frequency Band,’’ WT Docket No. 07–293, IB Docket No. 95–91 (FCC 12–130). On October 17, 2012, the Commission adopted and released an Order on Reconsideration that addressed five petitions for reconsideration of the 2010 WCS R&O and SDARS 2nd R&O. The petitions sought reconsideration or clarification of the Commission’s decisions in the 2010 WCS R&O and SDARS 2nd R&O regarding the technical and policy rules governing the operation of WCS stations in the 2305–2320 MHz and 2345–2360 MHz bands and the operation of SDARS terrestrial repeaters in the 2320–2345 MHz band. As part of the Order on Reconsideration, the Commission adopted proposals to relax the notification requirements for SDARS licensees under § 25.263(b) & (c) of the Commission’s rules. As adopted in the 2010 WCS R&O and SDARS 2nd R&O, § 25.263(b) requires SDARS licensees to share with WCS licensees certain technical information at least 10 business days before operating a new E:\FR\FM\23JYR1.SGM 23JYR1 sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES 44030 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 141 / Tuesday, July 23, 2013 / Rules and Regulations repeater, and at least 5 business days before operating a modified repeater. Under § 25.263(c), SDARS licensees operating terrestrial repeaters must maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of all terrestrial repeaters, including the information set forth in § 25.263(c)(2) for each repeater, which must be made available to the Commission upon request. The following modified information collections are contained in the Order on Reconsideration and received OMB approval: 47 CFR 25.263(b)—SDARS licensees are required to provide informational notifications as specified in § 25.263, including a requirement that SDARS licensees must share with WCS licensees certain technical information at least 10 business days before operating a new repeater, and at least 5 business days before operating a modified repeater; exempting modifications that do not increase the predicted power flux density at ground level by more than one decibel (dB) (cumulative) and exempting terrestrial repeaters operating below 2 watts equivalent isotropically radiated power. 47 CFR 25.263(c)—SDARS licensees operating terrestrial repeaters must maintain an accurate and up-to-date inventory of terrestrial repeaters operating above 2 W EIRP, including the information set forth in § 25.263(c)(2) for each repeater, which shall be made available to the Commission upon request. Requirement can be satisfied by maintaining inventory on a secure Web site that can be accessed by authorized Commission staff. The information collection requirements contained in § 25.263 are necessary to determine the potential of radiofrequency interference from SDARS terrestrial repeaters to WCS stations. Without such information, the Commission would be unable to fulfill its statutory responsibilities in accordance with the Communications Act of 1934, as amended. The information collection requirements contained in § 25.263 are necessary to determine the potential of radiofrequency interference from SDARS terrestrial repeaters to Wireless Communications Service (WCS) stations in adjacent frequency bands.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: This final rule announces NHTSA’s determination that there are no new model year (MY) 2014 light duty truck lines subject to the parts-marking requirements of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard because they have been determined by the agency to be high-theft or because they have a majority of interchangeable parts with those of a passenger motor vehicle line. This final rule also identifies those vehicle lines that have been granted an exemption from the parts-marking requirements because the vehicles are equipped with antitheft devices determined to meet certain statutory criteria. DATES: The amendment made by this final rule is effective July 23, 2013. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rosalind Proctor, Consumer Standards Division, Office of International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., (NVS–131, Room W43–302) Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Proctor’s telephone number is (202) 366–4807. Her fax number is (202) 493– 0073. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The theft prevention standard applies to (1) all passenger car lines; (2) all multipurpose passenger vehicle (MPV) lines with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 6,000 pounds or less; (3) low-theft lightduty truck (LDT) lines with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less that have major parts that are interchangeable with a SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00060 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 majority of the covered major parts of passenger car or MPV lines; and (4) high-theft light-duty truck lines with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less. The purpose of the theft prevention standard (49 CFR Part 541) is to reduce the incidence of motor vehicle theft by facilitating the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles. The standard seeks to facilitate such tracing by requiring that vehicle identification numbers (VINs), VIN derivative numbers, or other symbols be placed on major component vehicle parts. The theft prevention standard requires motor vehicle manufacturers to inscribe or affix VINs onto covered original equipment major component parts, and to inscribe or affix a symbol identifying the manufacturer and a common symbol identifying the replacement component parts for those original equipment parts, on all vehicle lines subject to the requirements of the standard. Section 33104(d) provides that once a line has become subject to the theft prevention standard, the line remains subject to the requirements of the standard unless it is exempted under § 33106. Section 33106 provides that a manufacturer may petition annually to have one vehicle line exempted from the requirements of § 33104, if the line is equipped with an antitheft device meeting certain conditions as standard equipment. The exemption is granted if NHTSA determines that the antitheft device is likely to be as effective as compliance with the theft prevention standard in reducing and deterring motor vehicle thefts. The agency annually publishes the names of those LDT lines that have been determined to be high theft pursuant to 49 CFR Part 541, those LDT lines that have been determined to have major parts that are interchangeable with a majority of the covered major parts of passenger car or MPV lines and those vehicle lines that are exempted from the theft prevention standard under section 33104. Appendix A to Part 541 identifies those LDT lines that are or will be subject to the theft prevention standard beginning in a given model year. Appendix A–I to Part 541 identifies those vehicle lines that are or have been exempted from the theft prevention standard. For MY 2014, there are no new LDT lines that will be subject to the theft prevention standard in accordance with the procedures published in 49 CFR Part 542. Therefore, Appendix A does not need to be amended. For MY 2014, the list of lines that have been exempted by the agency from the parts-marking requirements of Part 541 is amended to include thirteen E:\FR\FM\23JYR1.SGM 23JYR1
