Reports, Forms and Record Keeping Requirements; Agency
Information Collection Activity Under OMB Review

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 collections and their expected
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period was
published on March 3, 2011 (76 FR 11848). No comments were received.
    This document describes the collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. The collection of information
described is the ``Consolidated Child Restraint System Registration,
Labeling and Defect Notification.'' (OMB Control Number: 2127-0576)

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 18, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mrs. Cristina Echemendia at U.S.
Department of Transportation, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., West
Building Room W43-447, NVS-113, Washington, DC 20590. Mrs. Cristina
Echemendia's telephone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> and fax number is (202)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
    Title: Consolidated Child Restraint System Registration, Labeling
and Defect Notifications''.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0576.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Child restraint manufacturers are required to provide an
owner's registration card for purchasers of child safety seats in
accordance with title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part
571.213, ``Child restraint systems.'' The registration card is
perforated into two-parts (see Figures 1 and 2). The top part contains
a message and suitable instructions to be retained by the purchaser.
The bottom part is to be returned to the manufacturer by the purchaser.
The bottom part includes prepaid return postage, the pre-printed name/
address of the manufacturer, the pre-printed model and date of
manufacture, and spaces for the purchaser to fill in his/her name and
address. Optionally, child restraint manufacturers are permitted to add
to the registration form: (a) Specified statements informing CRS owners
that they may register online; (b) the Internet address for registering
with the company; (c) revisions to statements reflecting use of the
Internet to register; and (d) a space for the consumer's e-mail
address. For those CRS owners with access to the Internet, online
registration may be a preferred method of registering a CRS.
    In addition to the registration card supplied by the manufacturer,
NHTSA has implemented a CRS registration system to assist those
individuals who have either lost the registration card that came with
the CRS or purchased a previously owned CRS. Upon the owner's request,
NHTSA provides a substitute registration form that can be obtained
either by mail or from the Internet \1\ (see Figure 3). When the
completed registration is returned to the agency, it is then submitted
to the CRS manufacturers. In the absence of a substitute registration
system, many owners of child passenger safety seats, especially any
second-hand owners, might not be notified of safety defects and
noncompliances, and would not have the defects and noncompliances
remedied.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/register/childseat/csregfrm.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Child seat owner registration information is retained in the event
that owners need to be contacted for defect recalls or replacement
campaigns. Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United States Code specifies
that if either NHTSA or a manufacturer determines that motor vehicles
or items of motor vehicle equipment contain a defect that relates to
motor vehicle safety or fail to comply with an applicable Federal motor
vehicle safety standard, the manufacturer must notify owners and
purchasers of the defect or noncompliance and must provide a remedy
without charge. In title 49 of the CFR, part 577, defect and
noncompliance notification for equipment items, including child
restraint systems, must be sent by first class mail to the most recent
purchaser known to the manufacturer.
    Child restraint manufacturers are also required to provide a
printed instructions brochure with step-by-step information on how the
restraint is to be used. Without proper use, the effectiveness of these
systems is greatly diminished. Each child restraint system must also
have a permanent label. A permanently attached label gives
``quicklook'' information on whether the restraint meets the safety
requirements, recommended installation and use, and warnings against
misuse.
    Affected Public: Businesses.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 39,247 hours.

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.
    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 10, 2011.

B. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard has previously issued temporary final rules
establishing safety zones for fireworks displays occurring on the
waters in the vicinity of Haines, Skagway and Wrangell, AK (77 FR
39172). This rule proposes to establish three permanent safety zones
for the annually recurring Independence Day fireworks displays in
Haines, Skagway and Wrangell and is expected to reduce the
administrative burden associated with the creation of temporary safety
zones each year.

C. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C.
Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1,
6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of
Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The cities of Skagway, Haines, and Wrangell, Alaska hold fireworks
displays on or about the July 4th of each year to celebrate
Independence Day. The fireworks will be launched from a barge or
waterfront facility. This proposed rule is necessary to ensure the
safety of spectators and vessels from hazards associated with
fireworks. Fireworks launched in close proximity to watercraft pose a
significant risk to public safety and property. Such displays draw
large numbers of spectators on vessels. The combination of a large
number of spectators, congested waterways, darkness punctuated by
bright flashes of light, and burning debris has the potential to result
in serious injuries or fatalities. The proposed safety zones will
restrict vessels from operating within a portion of the navigable
waters around the fireworks launch platforms during the enforcement
period which will be immediately before, during, and immediately after
the fireworks displays.

D. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard proposes to establish three permanent safety zones
on the navigable waters of Taiya Inlet, Skagway; Portage Cove, Haines;
and Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell, AK. The proposed safety zones are
necessary to ensure the safety of spectators and vessels from hazards
associated with fireworks displays. Each safety zone will include the
navigable waters within a 300-yard radius around the fireworks launch
platform. The fireworks displays are expected to occur between 11:00
p.m. and 11:45 p.m. In order to coordinate the safe movement of vessels
within the area and to ensure that the area is clear of unauthorized
persons and vessels before, during, and immediately after the fireworks
launch, these zones will be enforced from 10 p.m. until 2:30 a.m. This
effective period of the safety zones is to account for the possibility
that if the fireworks displays are postponed because of inclement
weather, we would be able to adjust the enforcement period of the
safety zones. The specific date and duration of the enforcement period
will be announced in the Local Notices to Mariners and maritime
advisories widely available to mariners.
    Vessels will be able to transit the surrounding area and may be
authorized to transit through the proposed safety zone with the
permission of the COTP or the designated representative. Before
activating the zones we will notify mariners by appropriate means
including but not limited to Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast
Notice to Mariners.
    This rule is being proposed to provide for the safety of life on
the navigable waters during the events, and to give the public the
opportunity to comment on the proposed safety zone locations, size, and
length of time the zone will be activated.

E. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard's
enforcement of these proposed safety zones will be of short duration,
approximately three hours. Furthermore, vessels may be authorized to
transit through the proposed safety zones with the permission of the
COTP.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which might be small entities: the owners and operators of vessels
intending to transit, anchor, or fish in a portion of the navigable
waters of Taiya Inlet, Skagway; Portage Cove, Haines; and Wrangell
Harbor, Wrangell, AK; during the periods of enforcement of these
proposed safety zones.
    These proposed safety zones would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities for the following
reasons. These proposed safety zones would be subject to enforcement
only immediately before, during, and immediately after the firework
displays that may occur from July 3 at 10 p.m. ADT until 2:30 a.m. ADT
on July 5 each year. Vessel traffic could pass safely around the
proposed safety zones. Before the enforcement of any of the safety
zones, we would issue maritime advisories widely available to users of
the waterway.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any
policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and

the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among
the various levels of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the For Further
Information Contact section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule
involves the establishment of three permanent safety zones on the
navigable waters of Taiya Inlet, Skagway; Portage Cove, Haines; and
Wrangell Harbor, Wrangell, AK, respectively. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. A preliminary environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination
are available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
