FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hisham Mohamed, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey

Mr. Mohamed's telephone number is 202-366-0307. Please identify the 
relevant collection of information by referring to its OMB Control 
Number.

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:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of 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;
    (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 
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
    Title: 49 CFR part 575.104; Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standard.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0519.
    Type of Request: Request for Reinstatement of a Currently Expired 
Collection of Information.
    Abstract: Part 575.104, Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standard 
(UTQGS) requires tire manufacturers and tire brand owners to submit 
reports to NHTSA regarding grades of all passenger car tire lines they 
offer for sale in the United States. This information is used by 
consumers of passenger car tires to compare tire quality in making 
purchase decisions. The information is provided in several different 
ways to ensure the consumer can readily see and understand the tire 
grade: (1) Grades are molded into the sidewall of the tire so they can 
be reviewed on both the new tire and the old tire that is being 
replaced; (2) a paper label is affixed to the tread face of the new 
tire providing the grade of that particular tire line along with an 
explanation of the grading system; (3) tire manufacturers provide 
dealers with brochures for public distribution listing grades of all of 
the tire lines they offer for sale; and (4) NHTSA compiles the grading 
information of all manufacturers' tire lines into a booklet that is 
available to the public in printed form and on the NHTSA website.
    Affected Public: All passenger car tires manufacturers and brand 
name owners offering passenger car tires for sale in the United States.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: There are approximately 160 
individual tire brands sold in the United States. Because of industry 
consolidation the actual number of respondents will be significantly 
reduced, since manufacturers generally file reports on behalf of the 
various individual brand names for which they produce tires. The actual 
number of respondents is approximately 45.
    Frequency: Intermittently.
    Number of Responses: 160.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 91,288.
    Estimated Annual Burden Cost: $37,374,299 (approximately $37.4 
million).
    Public Comments Invited: Comments are invited on:
     Whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of 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.

    Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR 
1.95 and 501.8.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
