SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
Title: Brake Hose Manufacturers
Identification.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0052.
Type of Review: Request for public
comments on a previously approved
collection of information.
Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30101 et seq., as
amended (‘‘the Safety Act’’), authorizes
NHTSA to issue Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSSs). The Safety
Act mandates that in issuing any
FMVSS, the agency is to consider
whether the standard is reasonable and
appropriate for the particular type of
motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle
equipment for which it is prescribed.
Using this authority, FMVSS No. 106,
Brake Hoses, was issued. This standard
specifies labeling and performance
requirements which apply to all
manufacturers of brake hoses and brake
hose end fittings, and to those who
assemble brake hoses (49 CFR 571.106).
Prior to assembling or selling brake
hoses, these entities must register their
identification marks with NHTSA to
comply with the labeling requirements
of this standard. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act, the agency
must obtain OMB approval to continue
collecting labeling information.
Currently, there are 2,418 manufacturers
of brake hoses and end fittings, and
brake hose assemblers, registered with
NHTSA. However, about 60 respondents
annually (annual average from 2014–
2016) request to have their
identification marks added to or
removed from the NHTSA database. To
comply with this standard, each brake
hose manufacturer or assembler must
contact NHTSA and state that they want
to be added to or removed from the
NHTSA database of registered brake
hose manufacturers. This action is
usually initiated by the manufacturer
with a brief written request via U.S.
mail, facsimile, an email message, or a
telephone call. Since September 1, 2015,
the request can be submitted via the
Manufacturer Portal: Online Web-based
Submittal Center (https://
vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov). Currently, about 90
percent of requests are received
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
57649
electronically and 10 percent via mail.
The estimated time for complying with
the labeling requirements of this
regulation is 1.5 hours per
manufacturer. The corresponding total
annual burden is estimated to be 90
hours (time burden of 1.5 hours per
manufacturer × 60 manufacturers). The
estimated manufacturer’s cost for
complying with this regulation is $100
per hour. Therefore, the total annual
cost is estimated to be $9,000 (time
burden of 90 hours × $100 cost per
hour).
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit.
Number of Respondents: 60.
Number of Responses: 60.
Total Annual Burden: 90 hours.
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.

OMB receives it within 30 days of

Title: Consolidated Labeling
Requirements for Motor Vehicles
(except the VIN).
OMB Control Number: 2127–0512.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: In order to ensure that
manufacturers are complying with the
FMVSS, NHTSA requires a number of
information collections in four 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
that contrasts with its background, if 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 three
digit 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.
Affected Public: Businesses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
7,874 hours.
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 Departments 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.

equipment is likely to be as effective in
reducing and deterring motor vehicle
theft as compliance with the partsmarking requirements of the Federal
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention
Standard. (Theft Prevention Standard).
FUSA also requested confidential
treatment for specific information in its
petition. Therefore, no confidential
information provided for purposes of
this notice has been disclosed.

Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Ballard’s
phone number is 202–366–5222. Her fax
number is 202–493–2990.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated July 10, 2017, FUSA
requested an exemption from the partsmarking requirements of the Theft
Prevention Standard for its Subaru
Ascent vehicle line beginning with MY
2019. The petition requested an
exemption from parts-marking pursuant
to 49 CFR part 543, Exemption from
Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard,
based on the installation of an antitheft
device as standard equipment for the
entire vehicle line.
Under 49 CFR part 543.5(a), a
manufacturer may petition NHTSA to
grant an exemption for one vehicle line
per model year. In its petition, FUSA
provided a detailed description and
diagram of the identity, design, and
location of the components of the
antitheft device for its Subaru Ascent
vehicle line. FUSA stated that its MY
2019 Subaru Ascent vehicle line will be
installed with an immobilizer device as
standard equipment on the entire
vehicle line. FUSA stated that it will
also offer an audible and visual alarm
with a panic mode feature as standard
equipment on its Ascent vehicle line.
FUSA stated that its alarm system will
monitor the vehicle’s door status, key
identification and any unauthorized
effort to open a door, enter, or move the
vehicle. FUSA further stated that any of
the unauthorized efforts will activate
the alarm system causing the vehicle’s
horn to sound and the hazard lamps to
flash.
FUSA’s submission is considered a
complete petition as required by 49 CFR
