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

SUMMARY: Before a federal agency may collect certain information from 
the public, the agency must receive approval from the Office of 
Management and Budget (``OMB''). Under procedures established by the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before 
seeking OMB approval, federal agencies must solicit public comment on 
proposed collections of information, including extensions and 
reinstatements of previously approved collections. In compliance with 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice describes one 
collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kerry Kolodziej, Office of the Chief 
Counsel, NCC-100, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 (telephone: 202-366-5263). 
Please identify the relevant collection of information by referring to 
OMB Clearance Number 2127-0609 ``Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor 
Provision.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must 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 regulations (at 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) 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;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (iv) 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 
comment on the following proposed extension, without change, of a 
currently approved collection of information:

Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor Provision

    Type of Request--Extension, without change, of a currently approved 
collection.
    OMB Clearance Number--2127-0609.
    Form Number--This collection of information uses no standard forms.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval--Three (3) years from the 
date of approval of the collection.
    Summary of the Collection of Information--Each person seeking safe 
harbor protection from criminal penalties under 49 U.S.C. 30170 related 
to an improper report or failure to report is required to submit the 
following information to NHTSA: (1) A signed and dated document that 
identifies (a) each previous improper report and each failure to report 
as required under 49 U.S.C. 30166, including a regulation, requirement, 
request or order issued thereunder, for which protection is sought and 
(b) the specific predicate under which the improper or omitted report 
should have been provided; and (2) the complete and correct information 
that was required to be submitted but was improperly submitted or was 
not previously submitted, including relevant documents that were not 
previously submitted to NHTSA or, if the person cannot do so, provide a 
detailed description of that information and/or the content of those 
documents and the reason why the individual cannot provide them to 
NHTSA. See 49 U.S.C. 30170(a)(2) and 49 CFR 578.7; see also 66 FR 38380 
(July 24, 2001) (safe harbor final rule); 65 FR 81414 (Dec. 26, 2000) 
(safe harbor interim final rule).
    Description of the Need for the Information and Use of the 
Information--This information collection was mandated by Section 5 of 
the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and 
Documentation Act, codified at 49 U.S.C. 30170(a)(2). The information 
collected will provide NHTSA with information the Agency should have 
received previously and will also promptly provide the Agency with 
correct information to do its analyses, such as, for example, 
conducting tests or drawing conclusions about possible safety-related 
defects. NHTSA anticipates using this information to help it to 
accomplish its statutory assignment of identifying safety-related 
defects in motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment and, when 
appropriate, seeking safety recalls.
    Description of the Likely Respondents, Including Estimated Number 
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the

[[Page 26313]]

Collection of Information--This collection of information applies to 
any person who seeks a ``safe harbor'' from potential criminal 
liability for violating section 1001 of title 18 with respect to the 
reporting requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30166, with the specific intention 
of misleading the Secretary with respect to a safety-related defect in 
motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment that caused death or serious 
bodily injury to an individual. Thus, the collection of information 
applies to the manufacturers, and any officers or employees thereof, 
who respond or have a duty to respond to an information provision 
requirement pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30166 or a regulation, requirement, 
request or order issued thereunder.
    We believe that there will be very few criminal prosecutions under 
section 30170, given its elements. Since the safe harbor related rule 
has been in place, the Agency has not received any reports. 
Accordingly, the rule is not likely to be a substantial motivating 
force for a submission of a proper report. We estimate that no more 
than one person a year would invoke this new collection of information, 
and we do not anticipate receiving more than one report a year from any 
particular person.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burdens 
Resulting from the Collection of Information--2 hours.
    As stated before, we estimate that no more than one person a year 
would be subject to this collection of information. Incrementally, we 
estimate that on average it will take no longer than two hours for a 
person to compile and submit the information we are requiring to be 
reported. Therefore, the total burden hours on the public per year is 
estimated to be a maximum of two hours.
    Since nothing in the rule requires those persons who submit reports 
pursuant to this rule to keep copies of any records or reports 
submitted to us, recordkeeping costs imposed would be zero hours and 
zero costs.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 
1.95.

    Issued: April 21, 2016.
Paul A. Hemmersbaugh,
Chief Counsel.
