Abstract: NHTSA has issued a regulation requiring manufacturers to install advanced air bags that reduce the likelihood of injury or fatality in a crash. A two-stage phase-in of mandatory advanced air bags was implemented. Each phase covers a three year period. Phase 1 began Sept. 1, 2003 and Phase two begins September 1, 2007. A third phase increasing the belted 5th female dummy belted requirements, added August 31, 2006, begins September 1, 2009.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is a 21 hour reduction adjustment to Item 13 on the OMB form 83-I. The reason for this reduction is explained as follows. At present, OMB Clearance 2127-0599 gives NHTSA approval to collect 1,281 burden hours a year from industry, or 61 hours from each of 21 manufacturers. This figure of 61 hours represents the burden hours that would result if reports for two separate but related phase-ins were due the same year, e.g., both the higher speed test requirement using 50th percentile adult male test dummies and the higher speed test requirement using the 5th percentile adult female dummies. At no time from October 31, 2003 through October 31, 2006 has there been a requirement for manufacturers to provide two such phase-in reports. Thus, this figure of 61 hours should have been 60 hours per manufacturer, or a total collection of information burden on industry of 1,260 hours. There are no program changes or adjustments to item 14 on the OMB form 83-I.
