NHTSA will use the highest hour
number in the hour burden estimate.
Each manufacturer of vehicles that are
required to be parts-marked must
submit reports of the target area
locations for the labels or stamping.
NHTSA estimates that the maximum
number of submissions to be 30. The
average time to prepare and submit the
target area submissions will be 20 hours
for each submission at a cost of $60 per
hour. The burden hour for submissions
will be 600 hours (30 submissions × 20
hours) with an annual estimated cost
burden of $36,000.00 ($60.00 × 20 hours
× 30 submissions).
The total burden hours equal 266,666
+ 600 = 267,266. The estimated total
cost associated with the burden hours is
approximately $16,035,960 (267,266 ×
$60.00/hr).
NHTSA assumes that most
manufacturers will use the less
expensive method of labeling the major
parts on vehicles, and not stamp the
VINs onto major parts. NHTSA
estimates that the average cost to label
the 14 parts is $10.24 per vehicle,
broken down into $5.33 for material and
$4.91 for labor. At present, 8 million
motor vehicles annually must have its
major parts marked. At present, the total
annual fleet costs are estimated at
$81,920,000 for label identifiers ($10.24
× 8 million vehicles). NHTSA estimates
the total annual cost of meeting Part 541
will be $81,920,000 (lable) + $36,000
(target area submission) =
$81,956,000.00 (approximately $82
million).

Part 542
NHTSA estimates that the average
hours per submittal are 45, for a total
annual burden of 90 hours. NHTSA
estimates that the cost associated with
the burden hours is $36.00 per hour, for
a total cost of approximately $3,234.
NHTSA estimates the total annual
cost of meeting Part 542 require no
additional costs to the respondents.
Therefore, NHTSA estimates the
grand total cost for Part 541 and Part
542 will be $81,956,000.00
(approximately $82 million).
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; the accuracy of
the Department’s estimate of the burden
of the proposed information collection;
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of
