vehicle crashes. Consumer information programs are an important tool 
for improving vehicle safety through market forces. For over 30 years, 
under its New Car Assessment Program, NHTSA has been providing 
consumers with vehicle safety information such as frontal and side 
crash results, crash avoidance performance test results, rollover 
propensity, and the availability of a wide array of safety features 
provided on each vehicle model. In addition, the agency has been using 
this safety feature information when responding to consumer inquiries 
and analyzing rulemaking petitions that requested the agency to mandate 
certain safety features.
    The information collected annually by the agency includes the 
following:
     Vehicle make, model, body style, certification type, 
projected sales volume, availability date, etc.,
     Crashworthiness features (i.e., adjustable upper belt 
anchorages, seat belt pretensioners, load limiters, etc.),
     Crash avoidance features (i.e., lane departure warning, 
forward collision warning, blind spot detection, crash imminent 
braking, dynamic brake support systems, etc.),
     Automatic crash notification systems,
     Event data recorders,
     Automatic door locks (ADL),
     Anti-theft devices,
     Static Stability Factor (SSF) rating information,
     Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) restraint 
system, and
     Side air bag information that would include whether the 
side air bags meet the requirements from the Technical Working Group 
(TWG) on Out-of-Position occupants.
    NHTSA has another information collection to obtain data related to 
motor vehicle compliance with the agency's Federal motor vehicle safety 
standards. Although the consumer information collection data is 
distinct and unique from the compliance data, respondents to both 
collections are the same. Thus, the consumer information collection is 
closely coordinated with the compliance collection to enable responders 
to assemble the data more efficiently. The burden is further made 
easier by sending out electronic files to the respondents in which the 
data is entered and electronically returned to the agency.
    The consumer information collected will be used on the agency's Web 
site (www.safercar.gov), in the ``Purchasing with Safety in Mind: What 
to look for when buying a new vehicle'' and ``Buying a Safer Car for 
Child Passengers'' brochures, in other consumer publications, as well 
as for internal agency analyses and responses to consumer inquiries.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 21.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 800 hours.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspects of 
this information collection, including (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate 
of the burden of the proposed information collection; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and (d) 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.
    Comments to OMB are most effective if OMB receives them within 30 
days of publication.

    Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(c); delegation of authority at 49 CFR 
1.50.
