Reports, Forms and Recordkeeping Requirements; Agency Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review, 2936-2938 [2014-00640]

Download as PDF 2936 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 11 / Thursday, January 16, 2014 / Notices ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Another commenter requested that FTA retain flexibility in allowing fixed allocation percentages for sub-area allocations when they have been determined to be the most appropriate method by the MPO members. FTA has made a minor change to the Circular language to indicate that the use of a fixed percentage may not be appropriate, rather than ‘‘is not considered satisfactory.’’ This chapter has also been revised to clarify that recipients should consult with FTA regarding the proper level of environmental review prior to expending funds for a project. Lastly, two commenters suggested that, in cases of loss through a natural disaster, the Circular state that FTA’s requirement for early disposition reimbursement may be waived. While FTA has the authority to grant such a waiver, it has not determined that such a waiver will be granted in the future, and does not want to create an expectation that such a waiver will be granted. G. Chapter VI—Program Management and Administrative Requirements The proposed circular updates this section to add the requirement that recipients certify compliance with 49 U.S.C. 5329(d), which requires recipients and States to develop and implement a Public Transportation Agency Safety Plan. The final Circular reflects three major changes to this Chapter. First, all references to FTA’s current Electronic Grants Management System (commonly known as ‘‘TEAM’’) have been removed in consideration of a new system, currently under development. That system is now generically identified as the Electronic Award Management System in this circular. Second, a new section was added to discuss the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) Requirement which requires recipients report information about each first tier sub-award over $25,000 by the end of the month following the month the direct recipient makes any sub-award or obligation. Lastly, the final Circular clarifies the discussion in the proposed circular on NTD Reporting regarding waivers. The proposed circular stated that FTA would no longer issue any NTD waivers. However, FTA has implemented a reduced reporting requirement for small systems. Where, under certain circumstances described in NTD Reporting Manuals, grant recipients may apply for reduced NTD reporting requirements. For instance, under the Small Systems Waiver, grantees with VerDate Mar<15>2010 19:19 Jan 15, 2014 Jkt 232001 fewer than 30 vehicles in maximum (peak) service do not have to report some data items. There are waivers of other data reporting requirements for planning/capital only reporters, reporters that have experienced natural disasters, and for reporters that are not able to generate specific data elements. H. Chapter VII—Other Provisions This section of the Circular was revised pursuant to the changes to the State Safety Oversight (SSO) Program and the requirements of 49 CFR part 659 made by MAP–21. Section 5330, which authorizes the SSO Program, will be repealed three years from the effective date of the new regulations implementing the new section 5329 safety requirements. Until then, the current requirements of 49 CFR part 659 will continue to apply. I. Tables, Graphs, and Illustrations There were no changes made to this section of the Circular. J.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), before an agency submits a proposed 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 the proposed collection of information. 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 DATES: E:\FR\FM\16JAN1.SGM 16JAN1 ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 11 / Thursday, January 16, 2014 / Notices comments on the renewal of the following described collections of information: Title: Record Retention. Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information collection. OMB Control Number: 2127–0042. Affected Public: Vehicle manufacturers and vehicle equipment manufacturers (including tire and child restraint system manufacturers). Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. 30166(e), NHTSA ‘‘reasonably may require a manufacturer of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment to keep records, and a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to make reports, to enable [NHTSA] to decide whether the manufacturer, distributor or dealer has complied or is complying with this chapter or a regulation prescribed or order issued under this chapter.’’ To ensure that NHTSA will have access to this type of information, the agency exercised the authority granted in 49 U.S.C. 30166(e) and promulgated 49 CFR Part 576, Record Retention, initially published on August 20, 1974 (39 FR 30045) and most recently amended on July 10, 2002 (67 FR 45873), requiring manufacturers to retain one copy of all records that contain information concerning malfunctions that may be related to motor vehicle safety for a period of five calendar years after the record is generated or acquired by the manufacturer. Part 576 also requires manufacturers to retain for five years the underlying records related to early warning reporting (EWR) information submitted under 49 CFR part 579. Estimated annual burden: Approximately one thousand manufacturers of vehicles and equipment (including tires and child restraint systems) are required to maintain records. We estimate their burden at 40 hours each for a subtotal of 40,000 hours (1,000 respondents × 40 hours). In addition, there are approximately 23,600 equipment manufacturers (excluding child seat and tire manufacturers) whose record retention requirements under part 576 are limited to the documents underlying their part 579 reporting requirements. Their part 579 requirements include only the reporting of incidents involving deaths. Therefore, based on the number of death reports submitted to date by these equipment manufacturers, we estimate that an additional 20 equipment manufacturers have record retention requirements imposed by part 576. We estimate that it will take one hour each to maintain the necessary records for a subtotal burden of 20 hours VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:55 Jan 15, 2014 Jkt 232001 (20 respondents × one hour). Accordingly, the estimate of total annual burden hours is 40,020 hours (1,000 respondents × 40 hours plus 20 respondents × 1 hour). Number of respondents: 1,020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA), before an agency submits a proposed 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 the proposed 
collection of information. 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 renewal of the following described collections of 
information:
    Title: Record Retention.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information 
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0042.
    Affected Public: Vehicle manufacturers and vehicle equipment 
manufacturers (including tire and child restraint system 
manufacturers).
    Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. 30166(e), NHTSA ``reasonably may require 
a manufacturer of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment to keep 
records, and a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to make reports, to 
enable [NHTSA] to decide whether the manufacturer, distributor or 
dealer has complied or is complying with this chapter or a regulation 
prescribed or order issued under this chapter.''
    To ensure that NHTSA will have access to this type of information, 
the agency exercised the authority granted in 49 U.S.C. 30166(e) and 
promulgated 49 CFR Part 576, Record Retention, initially published on 
August 20, 1974 (39 FR 30045) and most recently amended on July 10, 
2002 (67 FR 45873), requiring manufacturers to retain one copy of all 
records that contain information concerning malfunctions that may be 
related to motor vehicle safety for a period of five calendar years 
after the record is generated or acquired by the manufacturer. Part 576 
also requires manufacturers to retain for five years the underlying 
records related to early warning reporting (EWR) information submitted 
under 49 CFR part 579.
    Estimated annual burden: Approximately one thousand manufacturers 
of vehicles and equipment (including tires and child restraint systems) 
are required to maintain records. We estimate their burden at 40 hours 
each for a subtotal of 40,000 hours (1,000 respondents x 40 hours). In 
addition, there are approximately 23,600 equipment manufacturers 
(excluding child seat and tire manufacturers) whose record retention 
requirements under part 576 are limited to the documents underlying 
their part 579 reporting requirements. Their part 579 requirements 
include only the reporting of incidents involving deaths. Therefore, 
based on the number of death reports submitted to date by these 
equipment manufacturers, we estimate that an additional 20 equipment 
manufacturers have record retention requirements imposed by part 576. 
We estimate that it will take one hour each to maintain the necessary 
records for a subtotal burden of 20 hours (20 respondents x one hour). 
Accordingly, the estimate of total annual burden hours is 40,020 hours 
(1,000 respondents x 40 hours plus 20 respondents x 1 hour).
    Number of respondents: 1,020.
    Below are detailed instructions for submitting comments on this
