Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The agency published Part 586 “Side Impact Phase-in Reporting Requirements” (OMB control number 2127-0558) in 1990. The phase-in reporting requirements started in 1993 and completed in 1996. Part 586 has been inactive since then and phase-in reporting requirements have been consolidated in Part 585. Thus, the burden hours and costs in items 13 and 14 of the current OMB inventory are zero. At present, the agency proposes to upgrade FMVSS No. 214 by adding a vehicle-to-pole impact test with a three-year phase-in plan and requests reinstatement of OMB control number 2127-0558. For the foregoing program changes, the burden hours and costs in items 13 and 14 of the OMB Form 83-I increase from zero to 1,260 hours and $44,100, respectively.
