SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR part 595--Make Inoperative Exemptions.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0635.
    Type of Request: Request for public comments on a previously 
approved collection of information.
    Abstract: On February 27, 2001, NHTSA published a final rule (66 FR 
12638) to facilitate the modification of motor vehicles so that persons 
with disabilities can drive or ride in them as passengers. In that 
final rule, the agency issued a limited exemption from a statutory 
provision that prohibits specified types of commercial entities from 
either removing safety equipment or features installed on motor 
vehicles pursuant to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards or 
altering the equipment or features so as to adversely affect their 
performance. The exemption is limited in that it allows repair 
businesses to modify only certain types of Federally-required safety 
equipment and features, under specified circumstances. The regulation 
is found at 49 CFR part 595 Subpart C, ``Vehicle Modifications to 
Accommodate People with Disabilities.''
    This final rule included two new ``collections of information,'' as 
that term is defined in 5 CFR part 1320 ``Controlling Paperwork Burdens 
on the Public'': Modifier identification and a document to be provided 
to the owner of the modified vehicle stating the exemptions used for 
that vehicle and any reduction in load carrying capacity of the vehicle 
of more than 100 kg (220 lbs).
    Modifiers who take advantage of the exemption created by this rule 
are required to furnish NHTSA with a written document providing the 
modifier's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that 
the modifier is availing itself of the exemption. The rule requires:
    ``S595.6 Modifier Identification.
    (a) Any motor vehicle repair business that modifies a motor vehicle 
to enable a person with a disability to operate, or ride as a passenger 
in, the motor vehicle and intends to avail itself of the exemption 
provided in 49 CFR 595.7 shall furnish the information specified in 
paragraphs (a)(1) through (3) of this section to: Administrator, 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue 
SE., Washington, DC 20590.
    (1) Full individual, partnership, or corporate name of the motor 
vehicle repair business.
    (2) Residence address of the motor vehicle repair business and 
State of incorporation if applicable.
    (3) A statement that the motor vehicle repair business modifies a 
motor vehicle to enable a person with a disability to operate, or ride 
as a passenger in, the motor vehicle and intends to avail itself of the 
exemption provided in 49 CFR 595.7.
    (b) Each motor vehicle repair business required to submit 
information under paragraph (a) of this section shall submit the 
information not later than August 27, 2001. After that date, each motor 
vehicle repair business that modifies a motor vehicle to enable a 
person with a disability to operate, or ride as a passenger in, the 
motor vehicle and intends to avail itself of the exemption provided in 
49 CFR 595.7 shall submit the information required under paragraph (a) 
not later than 30 days after it first modifies a motor vehicle to 
enable a person with a

disability to operate, or ride as a passenger in, the motor vehicle. 
Each motor vehicle repair business who has submitted required 
information shall keep its entry current, accurate and complete by 
submitting revised information not later than 30 days after the 
relevant changes in the business occur.''
    This requirement is a one-time submission unless changes are made 
to the business as described in paragraph (b).

    Affected Public: Businesses that modify vehicles, after the first 
retail sale, so that the vehicle may be used by persons with 
disabilities.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,475 hours and $50.04.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 765.
    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
