Abstract: This collection covers the information collection requirements found in various sections in the Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Act), 49 U.S.C. 30101, et seq., that require manufacturers to notify NHTSA of safety defects and noncompliances with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in motor vehicles and equipment, as well as the provision of information relating to the ensuing owner and dealer notifications and free remedy campaigns that follow those notifications. Other collection requirements include submission of certain information related to tire recalls and the proper disposal of tires, and the reporting of sales and leases of defective or noncomplaint tires.

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Adjustments to the estimates detailed in Items 13 and 14 are due, first, to a change in the number of safety recalls and number of distinct manufacturers filing recalls. We previously estimated that NHTSA administers an average of 963 recalls each year, with 274 distinct manufacturers filing. However, NHTSA now administers an average of 988 recalls each year (using updated figures from 2016, 2017, and 2018), with 249 distinct manufacturers. Second, adjustments are also due to a change in the average number of tire recalls a year, from 12 now to 11. Third, adjustments are due to incorporating labor-related costs using data from the BLS. And fourth, adjustments to the estimates detailed in Items 13 and 14 are due to the consideration of comments, which resulted in revising upward burdens associated with NHTSA’s Coordinated Remedy Order (as amended on December 9, 2016), addressing the Takata recalls and requiring affected vehicle manufacturers to conduct supplemental owner notification efforts in coordination with NHTSA and the Independent Monitor of Takata.
