AGENCY:

The Maritime Administration
(MARAD) invites public comments on
our intention to request the Office of

approval to renew an information
collection. The information collection is
for midshipmen or graduates of the
United States Merchant Marine
Academy (USMMA) or cadets or
graduates of a State Maritime Academy
(SMA) who received Student Incentive
Payment (SIP) Program payments to
determine if: (1) A waiver should be
granted of all or a portion of the service
obligation contract in cases where there
would be undue hardship or
impossibility of performance due to
accident, illness or other justifiable
reasons; (2) a deferment of all or a
portion of the service obligation should
be granted for the purpose of entering a
marine or maritime-related graduate
course of study; or (3) an original
decision of items 1 or 2 should be
overturned based on a student or
graduate’s appeal. Their service
obligation is required by law. We are
required to publish this notice in the
Federal Register by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before November 13, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

Abstract: The Information collection
is essential for determining if a student
or graduate of the USMMA or a SMA
that participated in the Student
Incentive Payment (SIP) Program has a
valid circumstance preventing them
from fulfilling the requirements of the
service obligation contract signed at the
time of their enrollment in USMMA or
the SIP program. It also permits the
Maritime Administration (MARAD) to
determine if a graduate, who wishes to
defer their service obligation to attend
graduate school, is eligible to receive a
deferment. Student or graduates who
submit a waiver or deferral request have
an opportunity to appeal MARAD’s
decision. This collection is essential for
determining if the original decision for
a waiver or deferral request should be
overturned. Their service obligation is
required by law.

Academy students and graduates, and

Second Petition for Inconsequentiality
and Notice of Consolidation
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice of receipt of petition.
AGENCY:

On January 3, 2017, TK
Holdings Inc. (Takata) filed a defect
information report (DIR), in which it
determined that a defect existed in
certain passenger-side air bag inflators
that it manufactured, including
passenger inflators that it supplied to
General Motors, LLC (GM) for use in
certain GMT900 vehicles. GM has
petitioned the Agency for a decision
that, because of differences in inflator
design and vehicle integration, the
equipment defect determined to exist by
Takata is inconsequential as it relates to
motor vehicle safety in the GMT900
vehicles, and that GM should therefore
be relieved of its notification and
remedy obligations.
DATES: The closing date for comments is
September 14, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written data, views,
and arguments regarding this petition
for inconsequentiality. Comments must
