Abstract: Improperly inflated tires pose a safety risk, increasing the chance of skidding, hydroplaning, longer stopping distances, and crashes due to flat tires and blowouts. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138 mandated Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), which warn drivers when air pressure falls in one or more of the vehicle's tires. Data from the 2011 TPMS-SS survey show that while 2004-2007 model year vehicles with TPMS had an estimated 55.6 percent overall reduction in the likelihood that the vehicle would have one or more severely under inflated tires, this effectiveness decreased as the age of the vehicle increased. In order to examine the reasons for this decreased effectiveness, additional data is needed. The drivers of vehicles with TPMS, suppliers of TPMS parts and systems, and professional establishments that repair TPMS will be surveyed to answer key questions concerning the operational status of TPMS systems, consumers' attendant knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of TPMS systems, and the causes and costs of TPMS system malfunctions.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The previous TPMS-ORRC ICR was a reinstatement with change. This ICR is a revision to the Field Survey only. The changes are due to agency discretion. The previous estimate of burden for the overall TPMS-ORRC included the Field Survey, Suppliers Survey, and Repair Facilities Survey. The Suppliers Survey and Repair Facilities Survey have been completed, so their burden hours and costs are not included in this ICR. In the Field Survey, we have upgraded to 24 sample sites in a probability sample. The burden estimate for the revised Field Survey and pilot is 1176 hours. The previous estimate for the Field Survey was 1124 hours, so the change is an increase of 1176-1124 = 52 hours.
