automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
This burden includes the calculation
required by 49 CFR 595.7(e), but not the
gathering of the information required for
the calculation. That information would
be gathered in the normal course of the
vehicle modification. The only extra
burden required by the rule is the
calculation of the reduction in loading
carrying capacity and conveying this
information to the vehicle owner. Again,
we are assuming that annotation on the
invoice is the least burdensome way to
accomplish this customer notification.
There will be no additional material
cost associated with compliance with
this requirement since no additional
materials need be used above those used
to prepare the invoice in the normal
course of business. We are assuming it
is normal and customary in the course
of vehicle modification business to
prepare an invoice, to provide a copy of
the invoice to the vehicle owner, and to
keep a copy of the invoice for five years
after the vehicle is delivered to the
owner in finished form.
We seek comment on whether our
assumptions about the following are
accurate:
1. The document required by 49 CFR
595.7(b) and specified in paragraph (e)
will need to be prepared for
approximately 4,383 vehicles modified
nationwide per year,
2. Annotation of each vehicle
modification invoice as to which
exemptions were used will take an
average of 20 minutes, and
3. It is normal in the course of vehicle
modification business to prepare an
invoice, to provide a copy of the invoice
to the vehicle owner, and to keep a copy
of the invoice for five years after the
vehicle is delivered to the owner in
finished form.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 1,475
hours, and $50.04.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
765.
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

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 each proposed
collection of information. The 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 following proposed
collection of information:
Title: Consolidated Labeling
Requirements for Motor Vehicles
(except the VIN).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0512.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from the
approval date.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes
the issuance of Federal motor vehicle
safety standards (FMVSS). The agency,
in prescribing a FMVSS, considers
available relevant motor vehicle safety
data, and consults with other agencies,
as it deems appropriate. Further, the
statute mandates that in issuing any
FMVSS, the agency considers whether
the standard is ‘‘reasonable, practicable
and appropriate for the particular type
of motor vehicle or item of motor
vehicle equipment for which it is
prescribed,’’ and whether such a
standard will contribute to carrying out
the purpose of the Act.
The Secretary is authorized to invoke
such rules, as deemed necessary to carry
out these requirements. Using this
authority, the agency issued the
following FMVSS, specifying labeling
requirements to aid the agency in
achieving many of its safety goals:
FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and
electric brake systems,’’
FMVSS No. 135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake
systems,’’
FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’
and
FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt
assemblies.’’
This notice requests comments on the
labeling requirements of these FMVSS.
FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and
electric brake systems,’’ and FMVSS No.
135, ‘‘Light vehicle brake systems,’’
require that each vehicle shall have a
brake fluid warning statement in letters
at least one-eighth of an inch high on
the master cylinder reservoirs. The
lettering shall be permanently affixed,
engraved or embossed; located so as to
be visible by direct view; and of a color
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 241001
that contrasts with its background, if it
not engraved or embossed.
FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’
provides labeling requirements for
glazing and motor vehicle
manufacturers. In accordance with the
standard, NHTSA requires each new
motor vehicle glazing manufacturer to
request and be assigned a unique mark
or number. This number is then used by
the manufacturer as their unique
company identification on their selfcertification label on each piece of
motor vehicle glazing. As part of that
certification label, the company must
identify with the simple two or threedigit number assigned by the agency
and the model of the glazing. In
addition to these requirements, which
apply to all glazing, certain specialty
glazing items, such as standee windows
in buses, roof openings, and interior
partitions made of plastic require that
the manufacturer affix a removable label
to each item. The label specifies
cleaning instructions, which will
minimize the loss of transparency.
Other information may be provided by
the manufacturer but is not required.
FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt
assemblies,’’ requires safety belts to be
labeled with the year of manufacture,
the model, and the name or trademark
of the manufacturer (S4.1(j)).
Additionally, replacement safety belts
that are for use only in specifically
stated motor vehicles must have labels
or accompanying instruction sheets to
specify the applicable vehicle models
and seating positions (S4.1(k)). Seat belt
assemblies installed as original
equipment in new motor vehicles need
not be required to be labeled with
position/model information.
Description of the Likely Respondents
(Including Estimated Number and
Proposed Frequency of Response to the
Collection of Information): NHTSA
anticipates that approximately 25 new
prime glazing manufacturers per year
will contact the agency and request a
manufacturer identification number.
These new glazing manufacturers must
submit one letter, one time, identifying
their company. In turn, the agency
responds by assigning them a unique
manufacturer number. For other
collections in this notice, no response is
necessary from manufacturers. These
labels are only required to be placed on
each master cylinder reservoir, glazing,
and each safety belt intended for retail
sale in the United Sates. Therefore, the
number of respondents is not
applicable.
Estimate of the Total Annual
Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden
Resulting From the Collection of
Information: NHTSA estimates that all
PO 00000

manufacturers will need a total of 7,874
hours to comply with these
requirements.
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.
