DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2018-0057]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposals, Submissions,
and Approvals

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) 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 April 16, 2018. The agency received one relevant comment.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 21, 2018.

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: Mr. Robert Mazurowski, Office of
Crashworthiness Standards, NRM-130,<PHONE_NUMBER>, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, Room W43-445, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. Please
identify the relevant collection of information by referring to its OMB
Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before a Federal agency can collect certain
information from the public, it must receive approval from the OMB. In
compliance with those requirements, this notice announces that the
following information collection request has been forwarded to OMB.
    Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 218, ``Motorcycle
helmets,'' requires that each helmet shall be labeled permanently and
legibly in a manner such that the label(s) can be read easily without
removing padding or any other permanent part. This collection pertains
to the labeling requirements in FMVSS No. 218.
    NHTSA published a Federal Register notice requesting public comment
on

this information collection.\1\ In response, the agency received three
comments, only one of which was relevant to this collection.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 83 FR 16431 (April 16, 2018).
    \2\ www.regulations.gov. Docket Number: NHTSA-2018-0051.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) expressed its
support for strong motorcycle helmet labeling requirements, and
submitted information about motorcycle safety. GHSA commented that this
information collection was ``atypical'' in their view. GHSA explained
that typically ICRs involved the collection or submission of
information directly to the agency and that while NHTSA spot checks the
performance of motorcycle helmets through a compliance program, the
content of the label is more for the benefit of consumers and law
enforcement.
    GHSA is correct that a common type of information collection under
the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) occurs when an agency directly
collects information from the public. However, a collection of
information, as defined by the PRA, means ``the obtaining, causing to
be obtained, soliciting, or requiring the disclosure to third parties
or the public, of facts or opinions by or for an agency, regardless of
form or format . . .'' \3\ This labeling requirement imposes a
disclosure (label) to the public, and is therefore covered by the PRA.
NHTSA has sought and received PRA clearance for FMVSS No. 218 dating
back to 1984.\4\ Therefore, NHTSA believes no changes are necessary in
response to comments.

2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The following describes the collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. It is titled ``Motorcycle Helmets
(Labeling),'' OMB Control Number: 2127-0518. NHTSA's existing
collection for FMVSS No. 218 expired during the 60 day notice comment
period, therefore the agency has amended the type of request to be a
reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
    Title: Motorcycle Helmets (Labeling).
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0518.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement without change of previously
approved collection of information.
    Abstract: The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, now
codified at 49 U.S.C. 30111, authorizes the issuance of FMVSS.
Moreover, under 49 U.S.C. 30117, the Secretary is also authorized to
require manufacturers to provide information to first purchasers of
motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment when the vehicle equipment is
purchased, in the form of printed matter placed in the vehicle or
attached to the motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment. The Secretary
is authorized to issue, amend, and revoke such rules and regulations as
he/she deems necessary.
    Using this authority, the agency issued the initial FMVSS No. 218
in 1974. Motorcycle helmets are devices used to protect motorcyclists
from head injury in motor vehicle crashes. FMVSS No. 218 S5.6 requires
that each helmet shall be labeled permanently and legibly in a manner
such that the label(s) can be read easily without removing padding or
any other permanent part.
    Affected Public: Motorcycle helmet manufacturers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 45.
    Frequency: Every certified helmet produced.
    Number of Responses: 3,250,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 9,100.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $1,300,000 ($1.3 million).
    The 45 respondents (helmet manufacturers) produce a total of
3,250,000 annual responses. A manufacturer spends approximately 0.0028
hours per response. The estimated annual number of burden hours for
helmet manufacturers is 9,100 burden hours per year (3,250,000 x 0.028
hours). Using a total labeling cost of $0.40, the estimated total
annual burden cost is $1,300,000 (3,250,000 x $0.40).
    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 Department, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate
of the burden of the proposed information collection; (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 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 Delegation of Authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

Raymond R. Posten,
Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate 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.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through 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 particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
establishments or organizations engaged in formulating, producing,
purchasing or distributing surfactants or products containing
surfactants.
    Title: Safer Detergent Stewardship Initiative (SDSI) Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2261.01, OMB Control No. 2070-new.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: SDSI is a voluntary program administered by EPA to offer
resources and recognition to businesses involved in the transition to
safer surfactants. Surfactants are a major ingredient in

cleaning products such as detergents, cleaners, airplane deicers and
fire-fighting foams. Safer surfactants are those that break down
quickly to non-polluting compounds.
    Under SDSI, businesses that have fully transitioned to safer
surfactants, or (for non-profits, academic institutions, etc.) can
document outstanding efforts to encourage the use of safer surfactants,
are granted Champion status. At this level, the participant is invited
to the SDSI Awards ceremony, listed on the EPA SDSI website as a
champion, and may use a special logo in their literature to help
explain their participation in the program. Businesses that commit to a
full and timely transition to safer surfactants, or (for non-profits,
academic institutions, etc.) can document outstanding efforts to
encourage the use of safer surfactants, are granted Partner status.
This category provides recognition of significant accomplishments
towards the use of safer surfactants. Partners will be listed on the
EPA SDSI website and may be granted recognition as a Champion in the
future if appropriate.
    This information collection addresses reporting activities that
support the administration of the SDSI program.
    Responses to this collection of information are voluntary.
Respondents may claim all or part of a response confidential. EPA will
disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only
to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in
TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 375.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,750 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $182,625. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $182,625 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
