[Docket No. NHTSA-2018-0057]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions,
and Approvals

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

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) below is
being forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review
and comments. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following information collection was
published on April 16, 2018. The agency received one relevant comment.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 21, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments regarding the burden estimate, including
suggestions for reducing the burden, to the Office of Management and
Budget, Attention: Desk Officer for the Office of the Secretary of
Transportation, 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Mazurowski, Office of
Crashworthiness Standards, NRM-130, 202-366-1012, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, Room W43-445, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. Please
identify the relevant collection of information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before a Federal agency can collect certain
information from the public, it must receive approval from the OMB. In
compliance with those requirements, this notice announces that the
following information collection request has been forwarded to OMB.
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, ``Motorcycle
helmets,'' requires that each helmet shall be labeled permanently and
legibly in a manner such that the label(s) can be read easily without
removing padding or any other permanent part. This collection pertains
to the labeling requirements in FMVSS No. 218.
NHTSA published a Federal Register notice requesting public comment

comments, only one of which was relevant to this collection.\2\

The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) expressed its
support for strong motorcycle helmet labeling requirements, and
submitted information about motorcycle safety. GHSA commented that this
information collection was ``atypical'' in their view. GHSA explained
that typically ICRs involved the collection or submission of
information directly to the agency and that while NHTSA spot checks the
performance of motorcycle helmets through a compliance program, the
content of the label is more for the benefit of consumers and law
enforcement.
GHSA is correct that a common type of information collection under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) occurs when an agency directly
collects information from the public. However, a collection of
information, as defined by the PRA, means ``the obtaining, causing to
be obtained, soliciting, or requiring the disclosure to third parties
or the public, of facts or opinions by or for an agency, regardless of
form or format . . .'' \3\ This labeling requirement imposes a
disclosure (label) to the public, and is therefore covered by the PRA.
NHTSA has sought and received PRA clearance for FMVSS No. 218 dating
back to 1984.\4\ Therefore, NHTSA believes no changes are necessary in
response to comments.

The following describes the collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. It is titled ``Motorcycle Helmets
(Labeling),'' OMB Control Number: 2127-0518. NHTSA's existing
collection for FMVSS No. 218 expired during the 60 day notice comment
period, therefore the agency has amended the type of request to be a
reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
Title: Motorcycle Helmets (Labeling).
OMB Control Number: 2127-0518.
Type of Request: Reinstatement without change of previously
approved collection of information.
Abstract: The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, now
codified at 49 U.S.C. 30111, authorizes the issuance of FMVSS.
Moreover, under 49 U.S.C. 30117, the Secretary is also authorized to
require manufacturers to provide information to first purchasers of
motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment when the vehicle equipment is
purchased, in the form of printed matter placed in the vehicle or
attached to the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment. The Secretary
is authorized to issue, amend, and revoke such rules and regulations as
he/she deems necessary.
Using this authority, the agency issued the initial FMVSS No. 218
in 1974. Motorcycle helmets are devices used to protect motorcyclists
from head injury in motor vehicle crashes. FMVSS No. 218 S5.6 requires
that each helmet shall be labeled permanently and legibly in a manner
such that the label(s) can be read easily without removing padding or
any other permanent part.
Affected Public: Motorcycle helmet manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 45.
Frequency: Every certified helmet produced.
Number of Responses: 3,250,000.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,100.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $1,300,000 ($1.3 million).
The 45 respondents (helmet manufacturers) produce a total of
3,250,000 annual responses. A manufacturer spends approximately 0.0028
hours per response. The estimated annual number of burden hours for
helmet manufacturers is 9,100 burden hours per year (3,250,000 x 0.028
hours). Using a total labeling cost of $0.40, the estimated total
annual burden cost is $1,300,000 (3,250,000 x $0.40).
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.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter
35, as amended; and Delegation of Authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.
