We believe Nissan’s estimate of 10
hours is reasonable and we will adopt
this estimate burden calculation.
Accordingly, we estimate that 850
burden hours are associated with this
60-day interim notification requirement
(854 recalls × .10 = 85 recalls; 85 recalls
times 10 hours per recall = 850 hours).
As for costs associated with notifying
owners and purchasers of recalls, we
continue to estimate this costs $1.50 per
first class mail notification, on average.
This cost estimate includes the costs of
printing, mailing, as well as the costs
vehicle manufacturers may pay to thirdparty vendors to acquire the names and
addresses of the current registered
owners from state and territory
departments of motor vehicles. In
reviewing recent recall figures, we
determined that an estimated 58.4
million letters are mailed yearly totaling
$87,600,000 ($1.50 per letter ×
58,400,000 letters). The requirement in
49 CFR part 577 for a manufacturer to
notify their affected customers within
60 days would add an additional
$8,760,000 (58,400,000 letters × .10
requiring interim owner notifications =
5,840,000 letters; 5,840,000 × $1.50 =
$8,760,000). In total we estimate that the
current 49 CFR part 577 requirements
cost manufacturers a total of
$96,360,000 annually ($87,600,000
owner notification letters + $8,760,000
interim notification letters =
$96,360,000). Nissan commented that
they agree with the Agency’s estimate
for this cost estimate.
Due to the past burdens associated
with the requirement that certain
vehicle manufacturers setup VIN Lookup systems for their recalled vehicles,
many estimates have been removed
from this information collection as these
burdens and costs have already
occurred. The 49 CFR part 573 and 49
CFR part 577 requirements found in
today’s notice will require 36,070 hours
each year for OMB Control Number
2127–0004, a decrease of 10,068 burden
hours from the previously approved
collection of 46,138 hours. Additionally,
manufacturers impacted by 49 CFR part
573 and 49 CFR part 577 requirements
will incur a recurring annual cost
estimated at $96,630,000 total.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
NHTSA receives reports of defect or
noncompliance from roughly 275
manufacturers per year. Accordingly,
we estimate that there will be
approximately 275 manufacturers per
year filing defect or noncompliance
reports and completing the other
information collection responsibilities
associated with those filings.
In summary, we estimate that there
will be a total of 275 respondents per
