terminals, and other forms of wireless
communications to convey emergency
and need-to-know information. The new
rule establishes safe, uniform
procedures covering the use of radio
and other wireless communications
within the railroad industry.
Form Number: N/A.
Total Annual Estimated Burden
Hours: 337,717 hours.
Title: Safety Integration Plans.
Type of Request: Extension without
change of a previously approved
collection.
Abstract: The Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) and the Surface
Transportation Board (STB), working in
conjunction with each other, have
issued joint final rules establishing
procedures for the development and
implementation of safety integration
plans (‘‘SIPs’’ or ‘‘plans’’) by a Class I
railroad proposing to engage in certain
specified merger, consolidation, or
acquisition of control transactions with
another Class I railroad, or a Class II
railroad with which it proposes to
amalgamate operations. The scope of the
transactions covered under the two
rules is the same. FRA uses the
information collected, notably the
required SIPs, to maintain and promote
a safe rail environment by ensuring that
affected railroads (Class Is and some
Class IIs) address critical safety issues
unique to the amalgamation of large,
complex railroad operations.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Total Annual Estimated Burden
Hours: 528 hours.
Addressee: Send comments regarding
this information collection to the Office

automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
A comment to OMB is best assured of
having its full effect if OMB receives it
within 30 days of publication of this

ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice
announces that the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted
below has been forwarded to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. The ICR describes
the nature of the information collections
and their expected burden. The Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period was published on August 13,
2013 (78 FR 49324).
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before January 2, 2014.

Title: Importation of Vehicles and
Equipment Subject to the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety, Bumper, and Theft
Prevention Standards.
OMB Number: 2127–0002.
Type of Request: Extension of a
Currently Approved Collection.
Abstract: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
has requested OMB to extend that
agency’s approval of the information
collection that is incident to NHTSA’s
administration of the regulations at 49
CFR parts 591, 592, and 593 that govern
the importation of motor vehicles and
motor vehicle equipment. The
information collection includes
declarations that are filed (on the HS–
7 Declaration form) with U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) upon the
importation of motor vehicles or motor
vehicle equipment that is subject to the
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00124
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper,
and theft prevention standards
administered by NHTSA. The
information collection also includes the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
conformance bond that is furnished to
CBP (on form HS–474) for each motor
vehicle offered for importation that does
not conform to all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSS). The bond ensures that such
vehicles are brought into conformity
with those standards within 120 days
from the date of entry or are exported
from, or abandoned to, the United
States. The information collection also
includes paperwork that must be
submitted to NHTSA and in some
instances retained by registered
importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that
were not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable FMVSS.
These items include information that a
person or business entity must submit to
NHTSA to be registered as an RI and to
retain that status. The paperwork also
includes the statement of conformity
that an RI must submit to NHTSA
following the completion of
conformance modifications on an
imported nonconforming vehicle to
obtain release of the DOT conformance
bond furnished for the vehicle at the
time of entry. Also included is the
petition that an RI or manufacturer may
submit to NHTSA for the agency to
decide that a vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable FMVSS is capable of
being modified to conform to those
standards and is therefore eligible for
importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141. The
information collection also includes
applications that are filed with NHTSA
for permission to import nonconforming
vehicles for purposes of research,
investigations, demonstrations, training,
competitive racing events, and show or
display, as well as applications
requesting the agency to recognize
vehicles manufactured for racing
purposes as being qualified to be
imported as vehicles that were not
primarily manufactured for use on
public roads, precluding the need for
those vehicles to comply with the
FMVSS. This information collection is
necessary to ensure that motor vehicles
and motor vehicle equipment subject to
the Federal motor vehicle safety,
bumper, and theft prevention standards
are lawfully imported into the United
States and that RIs and applicants for RI
status are capable of meeting their
obligations under the statutes and
regulations governing the importation of
nonconforming vehicles.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the

Frm 00125
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must first 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
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: 49 CFR part 566 Manufacturer
Identification.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0043.
Affected Public: New manufacturers
of motor vehicles and motor vehicle
equipment subject to the Federal motor
vehicle safety standards.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: April 30, 2017.
Form Number: None.
Abstract: If a motor vehicle or item of
replacement motor vehicle equipment
contains a defect related to motor
vehicle safety or fails to comply with an
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety
standard, the manufacturer is required
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 to furnish
notification of the defect or
noncompliance to the Secretary of
Transportation, as well as to owners,
purchasers, and dealers of the motor
vehicle or replacement equipment, and
to remedy the defect or noncompliance
without charge to the owner. To ensure
that manufacturers are meeting these
and other responsibilities under the
