SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first 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:
(1) 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;
(2) 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;
(3) How to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information to be collected;
(4) 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 collection of information:
Title: Tires and Rims Labeling.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0503.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection of
information.
Form Number: This collection of information uses no standard form.
Abstract: Each tire manufacturer and rim manufacturer must label
their tires and rims with applicable safety information. In addition,
each vehicle manufacturer must affix a label to each vehicle indicating
the designated tire size for the vehicle. These labeling requirements
ensure that tires are mounted on the appropriate rims, and that the
rims and tires are mounted on the vehicle for which they are intended.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 274,491 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,780.
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,
