SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), a Federal agency must receive approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before it collects certain information from the public and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information by a Federal agency unless the collection displays a valid OMB control number. In compliance with these requirements, this notice announces that the following information collection request will be submitted OMB.

Title:49 CFR part 575—Consumer Information Regulations (Sections 103 and 105).

OMB Control Number: 2127-0049.

Form Number(s): N/A.

Type of Request: Request for approval to reinstate with changes a previously approved information collection.

Type of Review Requested: Regular.

Length of Approval Requested: Three years from date of approval.

Summary of the Collection of Information: This information collection pertains to 49 CFR part 575. Part 575.103, “Truck-camper loading,” which requires manufacturers of light trucks that are capable of accommodating slide-in campers to provide information on the cargo weight rating and the longitudinal limits within which the center of gravity for the cargo weight rating should be located. Section 103 also requires manufacturers of slide-in campers to affix to each camper a label that contains information relating to identification and proper loading of the camper and to provide more detailed loading information in the owner's manual. 49 CFR part 575.105, “Vehicle rollover,” requires manufacturers of certain utility vehicles to affix a label in a prominent location ( printed page 45876) alerting drivers that the handling and maneuvering characteristics of utility vehicles require special driving practices when these vehicles are operated. Also, as required by 49 CFR part 575.6(d)(1)(i), vehicle manufacturers must submit to NHTSA's Administrator, prior to new model introduction, two copies of the information specified in Part 575.103 and Part 575.105 that is applicable to the vehicles offered for sale. The information must be submitted at least 90 days before information on such vehicles is first provided for examination by prospective purchasers.

Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the Information:49 U.S.C. 30117 (a) specifies that the Secretary of Transportation may require that each manufacturer of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment provide technical information related to performance and safety required to carry out this chapter. This section further authorizes the Secretary to require manufacturers to notify first purchasers and prospective purchasers of these data. To carry out this statutory directive, the agency promulgated 49 CFR part 575, Consumer Information Regulations. The regulation requires manufacturers to provide performance and safety information to their dealers who will distribute this information to potential first purchasers of new vehicles. These manufacturers also furnish the agency with copies. Every manufacturer of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment must provide NHTSA with performance and safety information and technical data to comply with the following:

• Truck-camper loading (information about trucks that can accommodate slide-in campers) (Part 575.103).
• Vehicle rollover (information about handling and maneuvering characteristics of utility vehicles) (Part 575.105).

60-Day Notice: A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting public comments on the following information collection was published on January 20, 2026 (91 FR 2422). No comments were received.

Affected Public: Motor vehicle manufacturers.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 35 (18 utility vehicle and truck manufacturers and 17 slide-in camper manufacturers).

Frequency: As needed.

Estimated Number of Responses: The agency estimates 15 responses annually. NHTSA estimates there are currently 17 slide-in camper manufacturers, 7 manufacturers of trucks capable of accommodating slide-in campers, and 18 utility vehicle manufacturers subject to Part 575 Sections 103 and 575.105. Because of overlap, the total number of distinct respondents is estimated at 35. Based on prior years' experience, NHTSA estimates that approximately 15 submissions will be received annually. Of these, about 12 will be associated with the introduction of new model vehicles and about three will be revisions to previously submitted information. Manufacturers submit only when they introduce a new model or change previously provided information.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 22,865 hours per year.

The light truck manufacturers gather only pre-existing data for the purposes of this regulation. The agency estimates light truck manufacturers use a total of 135 hours (about nine hours per manufacturer) to gather and arrange data in proper format.

Light truck manufacturers' significant burden is printing and distributing copies of this consumer information to their dealers and attaching the labels to light trucks that are capable of accommodating slide-in campers. The agency estimates about 800,000 copies of this information will be printed. Although most high-speed printing methods are fast, we assume a total burden of 60 hours (four hours per manufacturer) to print this information.

The final step is to estimate the burden to print the truck-camper labels and utility vehicle information in the owner's manual or on a separate document included with the owner's manual. Since this information is listed in the owner's manual, NHTSA estimates 105 hours (seven hours per manufacturer) are spent printing the consumer information in the owner's manual. OMB approved the owner's manual information collection under a separate request (approval OMB Control Number 2127-0541).

The estimated annual burden is 300 hours. This number is derived from multiplying total responses (15) by the total burden hours per manufacturer (20 hours).

In addition to submission hours, NHTSA accounts for the burden associated with affixing truck-camper loading labels (Part 575.103) and utility vehicle rollover labels (Part 575.105). NHTSA estimates that labeling 13,000 slide-in camper units and 4,500,000 utility vehicles requires approximately 22,565 hours annually (4,513,000 units × 0.005 hours per label).

The combined estimated total annual burden is therefore 22,865 hours (300 hours for submissions + 22,565 hours for labeling).

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $1,579,550.

The burden estimates are based on the printing costs.

NHTSA estimates that each label costs $0.35 to print. With approximately 4,513,000 labels annually, the total annual printing cost is $1,579,550. Thus, the estimated total annual cost burden, exclusive of labor costs, is $1,579,550.Label printing: 4,513,000 labels × $0.35 = $1,579,550

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 agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) 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; (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 appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
