Reports, Forms and Record Keeping Requirements, Agency 
Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review, OMB Control Number 
2127--NEW

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department 
of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information 
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR 
describes the nature of the information collection and its expected 
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period was 
published on December 2, 2009 [74 FR 63225] in conjunction with a 
notice of proposed rulemaking that would establish a new Federal Motor 
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 226 for which the collection of 
information would be needed. No comments were received on the ICR.
    This document describes the collection of information for which 
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. The collection of information 
described is the ``Ejection Mitigation Phase in Reporting 
Requirements--Part 585.'' (OMB Control Number: 2127-XXXX)

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 18, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725--17th 
Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Louis N. Molino at U.S. Department 
of Transportation, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West Building 
Room W43-419, NVS-112, Washington, DC 20590. Mr. Molino's telephone 
number is (202) 366-1740 and fax number is (202) 493-2990.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: Ejection Mitigation Phase in Reporting Requirements--Part 
585.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-XXXX.
    Type of Request: New collection.
    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes the issuance of Federal motor 
vehicle safety standards (FMVSSs) and regulations. The agency, in 
prescribing an FMVSS or regulations, considers available relevant motor 
vehicle safety data, and consults with other agencies, as it deems 
appropriate. Further, the statute mandates that in issuing any FMVSS or 
regulation, the agency considers whether the standard or regulation is 
``reasonable, practicable and appropriate for the particular type of 
motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment for which it is 
prescribed,'' and whether such a standard will contribute to carrying 
out the purpose of the Act.
    The Secretary is authorized to invoke such rules and regulations, 
as deemed necessary to carry out these requirements. Using this 
authority, on January 19, 2011, the agency published a final rule (76 
FR 3212) establishing FMVSS No. 226, ``Ejection mitigation.'' The final 
rule contained a collection of information because of the proposed 
phase-in reporting requirements. The collection of information requires 
manufacturers of passenger cars and of trucks, buses and multi-purpose 
passenger vehicles (MPVs) with a GVWR of 4,536 kg (10,000 lb) or less, 
to annually submit a report, and maintain records related to the 
report, concerning the number of such vehicles that meet the ejection 
mitigation requirements of this FMVSS. The phase-in of the test 
requirements would be completed on September 1, 2017, at which time, 
all affected vehicles are required to meet the new requirements. The 
purpose of the reporting requirements is to aid the agency in 
determining whether a manufacturer has complied with the ejection 
mitigation requirements during the phase-in of those requirements.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 1,260 hours.
    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 Departments 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. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Issued on: June 13, 2013.
Lori Summers,
Acting Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
