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.

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 burden reduction is due to the reduced number of glazing respondents. In the previous submission, NHTSA estimated that there would be 26 new glazing manufacturers per year requiring 1,066 yearly burden hours to comply with the requirements of the information collection. This resulted in a total yearly burden of 74,137 hours and a total annual cost of $1,482,740 for the whole information collection. In this information collection, we estimate there will be 25 new glazing manufacturers per year requiring 1,025 yearly burden hours to comply with the requirements of the information collection. This results in a total yearly burden of 74,096 hours and a total annual cost of $1,481,920 .
