Please identify the relevant collection of
information by referring to OMB
Clearance Number 2127–0609 ‘‘Criminal
Penalty Safe Harbor Provision.’’
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Agency: National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration
Title: Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor
Provision
OMB Control Number: 2127–0609
Frequency: We believe that there will
be very few criminal prosecutions under
49 U.S.C. 30170, given its elements.
Since the safe harbor related rule has
been in place, the Agency has not
received any reports. Accordingly, the
rule is not likely to be a substantial
motivating force for a submission of a
proper report. See Summary of the
Collection of Information below. We
estimate that no more than one person
a year would invoke this collection of
information, and we do not anticipate
receiving more than one report a year
from any particular person.
Affected Public: This collection of
information applies to any person who
seeks a ‘‘safe harbor’’ from potential
criminal liability for violating section
1001 of title 18 with respect to the
reporting requirements of 49 U.S.C.
30166, with the specific intention of
misleading the Secretary with respect to
a safety-related defect in motor vehicles
or motor vehicle equipment that caused
death or serious bodily injury to an
individual. Thus, the collection of
information applies to the
manufacturers, and any officers or
employees thereof, who respond or have
a duty to respond to an information
provision requirement pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 30166 or a regulation,

requirement, request or order issued
thereunder.
Abstract: This information collection
was mandated by Section 5 of the
Transportation Recall Enhancement,
Accountability, and Documentation
(TREAD) Act, codified at 49 U.S.C.
30170(a)(2). The information collected
will provide NHTSA with information
the Agency should have received
previously and will also promptly
provide the Agency with correct
information to do its analyses, such as,
for example, conducting tests or
drawing conclusions about possible
safety-related defects. NHTSA
anticipates using this information to
help it accomplish its statutory
assignment of identifying safety-related
defects in motor vehicles and motor
vehicle equipment and, when
appropriate, seeking safety recalls.
Estimated Annual Burden: As stated
before, we estimate that no more than
one person a year would be subject to
this collection of information.
Incrementally, we estimate that on
average it will take no longer than two
hours for a person to compile and
submit the information we are requiring
to be reported. Therefore, the total
burden hours on the public per year is
estimated to be a maximum of two
hours.
Since nothing in the rule requires
those persons who submit reports
pursuant to this rule to keep copies of
any records or reports submitted to us,
recordkeeping costs imposed would be
zero hours and zero costs.
Number of Respondents: We estimate
that there will be no more than one per
year.

Information: Each person seeking
protection from criminal penalties

improper report or failure to report is
required to report the following
information to NHTSA: (1) A signed and
dated document that identifies (a) each
previous improper report and each
failure to report as required under 49
U.S.C. 30166, including a regulation,
requirement, request or order issued
thereunder, for which protection is
sought and (b) the specific predicate
under which the improper or omitted
report should have been provided; and
(2) the complete and correct information
that was required to be submitted but
was improperly submitted or was not
previously submitted, including
relevant documents that were not
previously submitted to NHTSA or, if
the person cannot do so, provide a
detailed description of that information
and/or the content of those documents
and the reason why the individual
cannot provide them to NHTSA. See 49
U.S.C. 30170(a)(2) and 49 CFR 578.7;
see also 66 FR 38380 (July 24, 2001)
(safe harbor final rule); 65 FR 81414
(Dec. 26, 2000) (safe harbor interim final
rule).
Send comments, within 30
days, to the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, 725 17th
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503,
Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
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
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
A comment to OMB is most effective if
OMB receives it within 30 days of
publication.

Agency Request for Emergency
Approval of an Information Collection
Bureau of Transportation
Statistics (BTS), Office of the Assistant
Secretary for Research and Technology
(OST–R), U.S. Department of
Transportation.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA), the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
provides notice that it will submit an
information collection request (ICR) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for emergency approval of a
proposed information collection. Upon
receiving the requested six-month
emergency approval by OMB, the
Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS), Office of the Assistant Secretary
for Research and Technology (OST–R),
U.S. Department of Transportation will
follow the normal PRA procedures to
obtain extended approval for this
proposed information collection.
This collection involves information
on barrier failure reporting in oil and
gas operations on the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS), as referenced in recently
issued Bureau of Safety and
Environmental Enforcement (BSEE),
U.S. Department of the Interior
regulations at 30 CFR 250.730(c) (81 FR
25887, Apr. 29, 2016) and the BSEE
final rule amending and updating oil
and gas production safety system (30
CFR 250.803) to be published in the
Federal Register on September 7, 2016.
BTS and BSEE have entered into a
memorandum of understanding (MOU)
to develop an industry-wide repository
of barrier failure data, analyze and
aggregate information collected under
this program, and publish reports that
will provide BSEE, the industry, and all
OCS stakeholders with essential
information about failure types and
modes of critical safety barriers for
offshore operations.
BTS and BSEE have determined that
it is in the public interest to collect and
process barrier failure reports or other
data deemed necessary to administer
BSEE’s safety program pertaining to
barrier failures, under a pledge of
confidentiality for statistical purposes
only. The confidentiality of notices and
reports submitted directly to BTS will
be protected in accordance with the
Confidential Information Protection and
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002
(CIPSEA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 note), which
provides substantial additional
confidentiality protections than can be
provided for reports submitted directly
to BSEE.
Currently, reports on equipment
failures are submitted directly to BSEE
with limited information related to
barrier failure events and root cause.
Feedback from the industry during the
data collection form drafting process
indicates substantial reluctance to
provide detailed barrier failure event
information without the additional
protections of CIPSEA. Reports
submitted directly to BTS under
CIPSEA will use a longer data collection
form that includes additional essential
detail about a barrier failure event such
as equipment history information,
certain important event data
information, and root cause information.
The additional detail included in the
longer form is critical to
comprehensively assess failures and
determine appropriate exposure
denominators for risk estimates, in
service of BSEE’s mission to protect
safety and prevent environmental harm.
Emergency processing of this
collection of information is needed prior
to the expiration of time periods
established under the PRA because the
use of normal clearance procedures is
reasonably likely to result in the
collection of only limited data on barrier
failure events during the established
PRA time periods. The use of normal
clearance procedures will prevent
collection of this data during the
established PRA time periods, which
will inhibit BSEE’s ability to
comprehensively assess barrier failures
and risks, identify barrier failure trends,
and identify causes of critical safety
barrier failure events.
