Abstract: This action consolidates two existing collections of information. In the previous collections of information: (1) a collection was established to require manufacturers to provide owner registration cards and to label each child restraint system (CRS) with a message informing users of the importance of registering the device with the manufacturer, and (2) another collection was issued to allow NHTSA to implement a registration program to send CRS owners a substitute registration form if owners had lost the registration card (OMB control numbers 2127-0511, “49 CFR 571.213, Child Restraint Systems,” and 2127-0576, “Child Safety Seat Registration”). Furthermore, in the second collection, it was also required that if either NHTSA or a manufacturer determines that a CRS contains a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety or fails to comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, pursuant to Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United States, the manufacturer must notify owners and purchasers of the defect or noncompliance and must provide a remedy without charge. The proposed revised collection will consolidate these provisions but will retain the control number of the second collection.

Short Statement: This action modifies OMB control number 2127–0576, "49 CFR 571.213, Consolidated Child Restraint System Registration, Labeling and Defect Notification" by adding a statement on the existing label and instruction manual according to the final rule published on February 27, 2012 (77 FR 11626). The annual cost to CRS manufacturers listed in item 13 results from the additional hours needed to determine the maximum allowable child weight for using the lower anchors of the child restraint anchorage system as a means of installation and to add this information on an existing label and instruction manual. There will be an adjustment of adding in an additional 1,250 burden hours. The purpose of this label is to reduce consumer confusion about using child restraint anchorage systems and to assure that the lower anchors will be able to withstand the forces generated by the child and CRS in virtually all crashes.
