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 60-day notice was published on January 27, 2010 (75 FR
4447) and no comments were received. Therefore, the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment.
Title: Brake Hose Manufacturers Identification, Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 106.
OMB Control Number: 2127-0052.
Form Number: This collection of information uses no standard form.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently 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
(FMVSS). The Safety Act mandates that in issuing any Federal motor
vehicle safety standards, 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. 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 1,944 manufacturers of brake hoses and end
fittings, and brake hose assemblers, registered with NHTSA. However,
only approximately 20 respondents annually request to have their symbol
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 e-mail message, or a telephone call. Currently, a
majority of the requests are received via U.S. mail and the follow-up
paperwork is conducted via facsimile, U.S. mail, or electronic mail.
The estimated cost for complying with this regulation is $100 per hour.
Therefore, the total annual cost is estimated to be $3,000 (time burden
of 30 hours x $100 cost per hour).
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Estimated Annual Burden: 30 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
Comments are invited on: whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Department,
[[Page 17832]]
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.
A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30
days of publication.
Issued on: April 1, 2010.
Stephen R. Kratzke,
Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
