SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR part 571.125--Warning Devices Information Collection.
    OMB Number: 2127-0506.
    Type of Request: Request for public comment on a previously 
approved collection of information.
    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30111, 30112 and 30117 of the National Traffic 
and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 as amended (``the Safety Act''), 
authorized the issuance of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 
(FMVSS). The Secretary is authorized to issue, amend, and revoke such 
rules and regulations as she/he deems necessary. Using this authority, 
the agency issued FMVSS No. 125, ``Warning Devices'' which applies to 
devices, without self-contained energy sources, that are designed to be 
carried in buses and trucks that have a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating 
(GVWR) greater than 10,000 pounds. These devices are used to warn 
approaching traffic of the presence of a stopped vehicle, except for 
devices designed to be permanently affixed to the vehicles.
    NHTSA anticipates approximately 3 Warning Device manufacturers will 
be affected by these reporting requirements. NHTSA does not believe 
that any of these manufacturers are a small business (i.e., one that 
employs less than 500 persons) since each manufacturer employs more 
than 500 persons.

[[Page 57649]]

    Affected Public: Businesses or other profit organizations.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: NHTSA estimates that the 
manufacturers will incur a total annual reporting hour of 1 hour.
    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. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of publication.

    Authority:  Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 
35; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95.

Raymond R. Posten,
Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
