Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping Requirements

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Request for public comment on extension of a currently approved 
collection of information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from 
the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit 
public comment on proposed collections of information, including 
extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections. This 
document describes an existing collection of information for motor 
vehicle tire and rim labeling requirements for which NHTSA intends to 
seek renewed OMB approval. The Federal Register notice with a 60-day 
comment period was published on November 25, 2014 (79 FR 70274).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 23, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Send comments within 30 days to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503. Attention: NHTSA Desk Officer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Abigail Morgan, NHTSA, 1200 New 
Jersey Avenue SE., Room W43-467, NVS-122, Washington, DC 20590. 
Telephone: (202) 366-1810.

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 
topics:
    (1) Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the

[[Page 8941]]

agency? Does the information collection have practical utility?
    (2) Is the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
collection of information accurate? Is the methodology valid (including 
the assumptions used)?
    (3) How can the agency enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information that we plan to collect?
    (4) How can the agency minimize the burden of collecting this 
information on those who are to respond? Are there appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques (or other forms of information technology) that would be 
suitable for this collection (e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses)?
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA published a notice in 
the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period, and we received 
no public comments on the renewal of this information collection (79 FR 
70274). Today's notice provides a 30-day comment period in which public 
comments on the renewal of this information collection may be submitted 
to OMB.
    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: 1,800.
    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. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication of this notice.
