Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 201 / Thursday, October 19, 2017 / Notices
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 33106 and 49
CFR 543.7(b), the agency grants a
petition for exemption from the partsmarking requirements of Part 541 either
in whole or in part, if it determines that,
based upon substantial evidence, the
standard equipment antitheft device is
likely to be as effective in reducing and
deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of Part 541. The agency
finds that Nissan has provided adequate
reasons for its belief that the antitheft
device for the Infiniti QX50 vehicle line
is likely to be as effective in reducing
and deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard (49 CFR part 541). This
conclusion is based on the information
Nissan provided about its device.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Nissan’s petition
for exemption for the Nissan Infiniti
QX50 vehicle line from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part
541. The agency notes that 49 CFR part
541, Appendix A–1, identifies those
lines that are exempted from the Theft
Prevention Standard for a given model
year. 49 CFR part 543.7(f) contains
publication requirements incident to the
disposition of all Part 543 petitions.
Advanced listing, including the release
of future product nameplates, the
beginning model year for which the
petition is granted and a general
description of the antitheft device is
necessary in order to notify law
enforcement agencies of new vehicle
lines exempted from the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard.
If Nissan decides not to use the
exemption for this line, it must formally
notify the agency. If such a decision is
made, the line must be fully marked
according to the requirements under 49
CFR parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of
major component parts and replacement
parts).
NHTSA notes that if Nissan wishes in
the future to modify the device on
which this exemption is based, the
company may have to submit a petition
to modify the exemption. Part 543.7(d)
states that a Part 543 exemption applies
only to vehicles that belong to a line
exempted under this part and equipped
with the antitheft device on which the
line’s exemption is based. Further, Part
543.9(c)(2) provides for the submission
of petitions ‘‘to modify an exemption to
permit the use of an antitheft device
similar to but differing from the one
specified in that exemption.’’
The agency wishes to minimize the
administrative burden that Part
543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted

vehicle manufacturers and itself. The
agency did not intend in drafting Part
543 to require the submission of a
modification petition for every change
to the components or design of an
antitheft device. The significance of
many such changes could be de
minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests
that if the manufacturer contemplates
making any changes, the effects of
which might be characterized as de
minimis, it should consult the agency
before preparing and submitting a
petition to modify.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR part 1.95.

Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
gives notice under the Federal Advisory
Committee Act that the Cooperative
Studies Scientific Evaluation Committee
will hold a meeting on December 13,
2017, at the American Association of
Airport Executives, 601 Madison Street,
Alexandria, VA. The meeting will begin
at 8:30 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m.
The Committee advises the Chief
Research and Development Officer on
the relevance and feasibility of proposed
projects and the scientific validity and
propriety of technical details, including
protection of human subjects.
The session will be open to the public
for approximately 30 minutes at the

administrative matters and the general
status of the program. The remaining
portion of the meeting will be closed to

During the closed portion of the
meeting, discussions and

constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy. As

Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: VA Form 10–0137, VA
Advance Directive: Durable Power of
Attorney for Health Care and Living
Will, is the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) recognized legal document
that permits VA patients to designate a
health care agent and/or specify
preferences for future health care. The
VA Advance Directive is invoked if a
patient becomes unable to make health
care decisions for him or herself. Use of
the VA Advance Directive is specified
in VHA Handbook 1004.02, Advance
Care Planning and Management of
Advance Directives. Veterans’ rights to
designate a health care agent and
specify health care preferences in
advance are codified in 38 CFR 17.32.
This regulation also obligates VA to
recognize advance directives and to use
the information contained therein when
health care decisions must be made for
a patient that has lost decision making
capacity. Use of advance directives is a
well-established standard within
clinical practice in the U.S. Offering the
opportunity to complete an advance
directive and the requirement to honor
such documents is supported by Joint
Commission standards and the Patient
Self Determination Act of 1990
(applicable to Medicare providers.) Use
of advance directives is also consistent
with the health care ethics standard that
patients have autonomy in health care
decision making and have a right to
control what is done to them in a
medical setting.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The Federal Register
Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on this collection
of information was published at 82 FR
151 on August 8, 2017, page 37167.
Affected Public: Individuals and
households.
Estimated Annual Burden: 171,811
hours.
Estimated Average Burden per
Respondent: 30 minutes.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
343,622.

Quality, Privacy and Risk, Department of
