will be labeled pursuant to Part 575.103
and 105, respectively, and labeling will
take approximately 1,5055 hours
(3,011,000 truck camper units and
utility vehicles × 0.005 hours = 15,055
hours). At a cost of $20 per hour, the
total burden hours for affixing labels is
estimated to be $301,100 annually
(15,055 hours × $20.00 = $301,100).
NHTSA estimates each label costs
$0.35 to print. Therefore, the total
printing costs for the 3,011,000 labels
would be $1,053,850 ($0.35 per label ×
3,011,000 units). Therefore, NHTSA
estimates the total cost to label each
slide-in camper and utility vehicle to be
$1,354,950 ($301,100 cost to affix labels
+ $1,053,850 printing costs). The total
cost of this information collection is
$1,366,050 ($1,354,950 for labeling +
$11,100 for submissions).
The total estimated annual cost to
manufacturers to comply with Part
575.103 and Part 575.105 requirements
including label costs is $1,366,050. The
annual reporting and recordkeeping cost
burden decreased because the previous
information collection clearance
overestimated the number of utility
vehicles manufactured that require
labels pursuant to Part 575.105. Thus,
the total annual cost decreased from
$2,904,336 to $1,366,050. This
represents an adjustment of
(¥$1,538,286). The total number of
burden hours increased from 300 hours
to 15,355 because this reinstatement
counts labor hours for labeling each
utility vehicle and slide-in camper.
Affected Public: Motor vehicle and
equipment manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 35
(18 utility vehicle and truck
manufacturers and 17 slide-in camper
manufacturers).
Frequency: Intermittently.
Number of Responses: 15 submissions
to NHTSA and 3,011,000 labeling
responses.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 15,850.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$1,366,050.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the
Department’s performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c)
ways for the Department to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways the
burden could be minimized without
reducing the quality of the collected
information. The Agency will
the next three years that will be required to comply
with section 575.105.
