Abstract: Because of the similarities in the collections of information, NHTSA seeks to combine the provisions of the existing collection for glazing materials into a collection for labeling information for five other Federal motor vehicle safety standards (OMB control numbers 2127-0038, “49 CFR 571.205, Glazing Materials,” and 2127-0512, “Consolidated Labeling Requirements for Motor Vehicles (except the VIN)). NHTSA seeks to consolidate the two collections because the provisions for glazing materials in both collections are interrelated. The two collections address a process that vehicle manufacturers follow in first gaining a unique identification number from NHTSA and then labeling each piece of vehicle glazing with that number verifying these materials comply with Federal standards. 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 labeling requirements to aid the agency in achieving many of its safety goals: FMVSS No. 105, ‘‘Hydraulic and electric brake systems,’’ FMVSS No. 135, ‘‘Passenger car brake systems,’’ FMVSS No. 205, ‘‘Glazing materials,’’ FMVSS No. 209, ‘‘Seat belt assemblies,’’ Part 567, ‘‘Certification.’’
