SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) 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;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
    (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including 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 compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
    (1) Title: Consolidated Vehicle Owner's Manual Requirements for
Motor Vehicles and Motor Vehicle Equipment.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0541.
    Form Number: This collection of information uses no standard form.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval: Three years from the
approval date.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Affected Public: Individuals, households, business, other for-
profit, not-for-profit, farms, Federal Government and state, local or
Tribal government.
    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes the issuance of Federal motor
vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and regulations. The agency, in
prescribing a FMVSS or regulation, 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, the agency issued the following
FMVSS and regulations, specifying that certain safety precautions
regarding items of motor vehicle equipment appear in the vehicle
owner's manual to aid the agency in achieving many of its safety goals:
FMVSS No. 108, ``Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment,''
FMVSS No. 110, ``Tire selection and rims,'' FMVSS No. 138, ``Tire
Pressure Monitoring Systems,'' FMVSS No. 202, ``Head restraints,''
FMVSS No. 205, ``Glazing materials,'' FMVSS No. 208, ``Occupant crash
protection,'' FMVSS No. 210, ``Seat belt assembly anchorages,'' FMVSS
No. 226, ``Ejection mitigation,'' FMVSS No. 213, ``Child restraint
systems,'' Part 575 Section 103, ``Camper loading,'' and Part 575
Section 105, ``Utility vehicles.'' This notice requests comments on the
information collections of these FMVSS and regulations.
    Description of the need for the information and proposed use of the
information: In order to ensure that manufacturers are complying with
the FMVSS and regulations, NHTSA requires a number of information
collections in FMVSS No. 108, 110, 138, 202, 205, 208, 210, 213 and
226, and Part 575 Sections 103 and 105.
    FMVSS No. 108, ``Lamps, reflective devices, and associated
equipment.'' This standard requires that certain lamps and reflective
devices with certain performance levels be installed on motor vehicles
to assure that the roadway is properly illuminated, that vehicles can
be readily seen, and the signals can be transmitted to other drivers
sharing the road, during day, night and inclement weather. Since the
specific manner in which headlamp aim is to be performed is not
regulated (only the performance of the device is), aiming devices
manufactured or installed by different vehicle and headlamp
manufacturers may work in significantly different ways. As a
consequence, to assure that headlamps can be correctly aimed,
instructions for proper use must be part of the vehicle as a label, or
optionally, in the vehicle owner's manual.
    FMVSS No. 110, ``Tire selection and rims.'' This standard specifies
requirements for tire selection to prevent tire overloading. The
vehicle's normal load and maximum load on the tire shall not be greater
than applicable specified limits. The standard requires a permanently
affixed vehicle placard specifying vehicle capacity weight, designated
seating capacity, manufacturer recommended cold tire inflation pressure
and manufacturer's recommended tire size. The standard further
specifies rim construction requirements, load limits of non-pneumatic
spare tires, and labeling requirements for non-pneumatic spare tires,
including a required placard. Owner's manual information is required
for ``Use of Spare Tire.'' FMVSS No. 110 requires additional owner's
manual information on the revised vehicle placard and tire information
label, on revised tire labeling, and on tire safety and load limits and
terminology.
    FMVSS No. 138, ``Tire pressure monitoring systems.'' This standard
specifies requirements for a tire pressure monitoring system to warn
the driver of an under-inflated tire condition. Its purpose is to
reduce the likelihood of a vehicle crash resulting from tire failure
due to operation in an under-inflated condition. The standard requires
the Owner's Manual to include specific information on the low pressure
warning telltale and the malfunction indicator telltale.
    FMVSS No. 202, ``Head restraints.'' This standard specifies
requirements for head restraints. The standard, which seeks to reduce
whiplash injuries in rear collisions, currently requires head
restraints for front outboard designated seating positions in passenger
cars and in light multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks and buses. In
a final rule published on December 14, 2004 (69 FR 74880), the standard
requires that vehicle manufacturers include information in owner's
manuals for vehicles manufactured on or after September 1, 2008. The
owner's manual must clearly identify which seats are equipped with head
restraints. If the head restraints are removable, the owner's manual
must provide instructions on how to remove the head restraint by a
deliberate action distinct from any act necessary for adjustment, and
how to reinstall head restraints. The owner's manual must warn that all
head restraints must be reinstalled to

properly protect vehicle occupants. Finally, the owner's manual must
describe, in an easily understandable format, the adjustment of the
head restraints and/or seat back to achieve appropriate head restraint
position relative to the occupant's head.
    FMVSS No. 205, ``Glazing materials.'' This standard specifies
requirement for all glazing material used in windshields, windows, and
interior partitions of motor vehicles. Its purpose is to reduce the
likelihood of lacerations and to minimize the possibility of occupants
penetrating the windshield in a crash. More detailed information
regarding the care and maintenance of such glazing items, as the glass-
plastic windshield, is required to be placed in the vehicle owner's
manual.
    FMVSS No. 208, ``Occupant crash protection.'' This standard
specifies requirements for both active and passive occupant crash
protection systems for passenger cars, multipurpose passenger vehicles,
trucks and small buses. Certain safety features, such as air bags, or
the care and maintenance of air bag systems, are required to be
explained to the owner by means of the owner's manual. For example, the
owner's manual must describe the vehicle's air bag system and provide
precautionary information about the proper positioning of the
occupants, including children. The owner's manual must also warn that
no objects, such as shotguns carried in police cars, should be placed
over or near the air bag covers.
    FMVSS No. 210, ``Seat belt assembly anchorages.'' This standard
specifies requirements for seat belt assembly anchorages to ensure
effective occupant restraint and to reduce the likelihood of failure in
a crash. The standard requires that manufacturers place the following
information in the vehicle owner's manual: a. An explanation that child
restraints are designed to be secured by means of the vehicle's seat
belts, and, b. A statement alerting vehicle owners that children are
always safer in the rear seat.
    FMVSS No. 213, ``Child restraint systems.'' This standard specifies
requirements for child restraint systems and requires that
manufacturers provide consumers with detailed information relating to
child safety in air bag equipped vehicles. The vehicle owner's manual
must include information about the operation and do's and don'ts of
built-in child seats.
    FMVSS No. 226, ``Ejection mitigation.'' This standard establishes
vehicle requirements intended to reduce the partial and complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes,
particularly rollover crashes. The standard applies to vehicles with a
gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less. Written information
must be provided with every vehicle describing any ejection mitigation
countermeasure that deploys in the event of a rollover and a discussion
of the readiness indicator specifying a list of the elements of the
system being monitored by the indicator, a discussion of the purpose
and location of the telltale, and instructions to the consumer on the
steps to take if the telltale is illuminated.
    Part 575 Section 103, ``Camper loading.'' This regulation requires
manufacturers of slide-in campers to affix to each camper a label that
contains information relating to identification and proper loading of
the camper and to provide more detailed loading information in the
owner's manual. This regulation also requires manufacturers of trucks
that would accommodate slide-in campers to specify the cargo weight
ratings and the longitudinal limits within which the center of gravity
for the cargo weight rating should be located.
    Part 575 Section 105, ``Vehicle rollover.'' This regulation
requires manufacturers of utility vehicles to alert utility vehicle
drivers of the higher possibility of rollover compared to other vehicle
types and to advise them of steps that can be taken to reduce the
possibility of rollover and/or to reduce the likelihood of injury in a
rollover. A statement is provided in the regulation, which
manufacturers shall include in its entirety or equivalent form, in the
Owner's Manual.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,724 hours.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 22.
