Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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
August 17, 2016, 81 FR 54918.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 28, 2016.
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: Shirlene Ball, 202-366-2245, Office of
the Chief Information Officer, NPO-420, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
OMB Control Number: 2127-0588.
Title: Air Bag Deactivation.
Type of Review: Renewal of a previously approved information
collection.
Abstract: If a private individual or lessee wants to install an air
bag on-off switch to turn-off either or both frontal air bags, they
must complete Form OMB 2127-0588 to certify certain statements
regarding use of the switch. The dealer or business must, in turn,
submit the completed forms to NHTSA within seven days. The submission
of the completed forms by the dealers and repair business to NHTSA, as
required, will serve the agency several purposes. They will aid the
agency in monitoring the number of authorization requests submitted and
the pattern in claims of risk group membership. The completed forms
will enable the agency to determine whether the dealers and repair
business are complying with the terms of the exemption, which include a
requirement that the dealers and repair businesses accept only fully
completed forms. Finally, submission of the completed forms to the
agency will promote honesty and accuracy in the filling out of the
forms by vehicle owners. The air bag on-off switches are installed only
in vehicles in which the risk of harm needs to be minimized on a case-
by-case basis.
Affected Public: Private Individuals, fleet owners and lessees,
motor vehicle dealers, and repair business.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 750.
Number of Responses: 750.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 375.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: $345.00.
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
information technology.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
