In its next
submission, the agency should remove the cost burdens because they
are a monetization of the burden hours. The agency is reminded to
avoid such double-counting of burden in the future.

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,
