promulgated regulations describing
what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB’s regulations (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; and
(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 submissions of responses.

Light Source Dimensional Information
Collection.
Type of Request: Extension of a

Abstract: The information to be
collected is in response to 49 CFR part
564, ‘‘Replaceable Light Source
Dimensional Information.’’ Persons
desiring to use newly designed
replaceable headlamp light sources are
required to submit interchangeability
and performance specifications to the
agency. After a short agency review to
assure completeness, the information is
placed in a public docket for use by any
person who would like to manufacture
headlamp light sources for highway
motor vehicles. In Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108,
Lamps, reflective devices and associated
equipment, ‘‘Part 564 submissions’’ are
referenced as being the source of
information regarding the performance
and interchangeability information for
legal headlamp light sources, whether
original equipment or replacement
equipment. The submitted information
about headlamp light sources becomes
the basis for certification of compliance
with safety standards.
Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
Number of respondents: 7.

explanation of the grading system; (3)
the tire manufacturer or brand name

of tires the information for each tire
offered for sale at the particular
location; (4) vehicle manufacturers
include in the owner’s manual of each
vehicle the grade information for the
