Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 206 / Thursday, October 24, 2019 / Notices
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that
this noncompliance is inconsequential
as it relates to motor vehicle safety,
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556,
Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or
Noncompliance.
This notice of receipt of Automobili
Lamborghini’s petition is published
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and
does not represent any agency decision
or other exercises of judgment
concerning the merits of the petition.
II. Vehicles Involved: As originally
filed, Automobili Lamborghini’s
petition stated that the petition applied
to MY 2018–2019 Lamborghini Urus
motor vehicles, however, the company
has since clarified that the correct MYs
are MY 2019–2020.
Accordingly, approximately 595 MY
2019–2020 Lamborghini Urus motor
vehicles, manufactured between August
30, 2018, and April 10, 2019, are
potentially involved.
III. Noncompliance: Automobili
Lamborghini explains that the
noncompliance is that the rims
equipped on the subject vehicles do not
fully comply with paragraph S4.4.2(a)
and (c) of FMVSS No. 110. Specifically,
the rims on the subject vehicles do not
contain the required designation symbol
or DOT certification markings.
IV. Rule Requirements: Paragraph
S4.4.2(a) of FMVSS No. 110 includes
the requirements relevant to this
petition. Each rim or, at the option of
the manufacturer in the case of a singlepiece wheel, each wheel disc shall be
marked with a designation that
indicates the source of the rim’s
published nominal dimensions and the
symbol DOT, constituting a certification
by the manufacturer of the rim that the
rim complies with all applicable
FMVSS.
V. Summary of Lamborghini’s
Petition: Automobili Lamborghini
described the subject noncompliance
and stated its belief that the
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety.
In support of its petition, Automobili
Lamborghini submitted the following
reasoning:
1. The ‘‘DOT’’ marking signifies that
the manufacturer of the rim has certified
that the rim complies with all
applicable FMVSSs. So, because ‘‘DOT’’
is a ‘‘certification,’’ it is a violation of 49
U.S.C. 30115 (‘‘Certification’’), which
does not require notification and
remedy (see 74 FR 69377).
2. The designation symbol under
S4.4.2(a) is not considered a
‘‘certification’’ and indicates the source
of the rim’s published nominal

Jkt 250001

dimensions. Thus, because a
noncompliance under (a) is not a
certification issue, which would
implicate 49 U.S.C. 30115, Automobili
Lamborghini has submitted a report
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573.
3. Automobili Lamborghini states that
the subject rims contain all information
required within FMVSS § 571.110 and
that the omission of the correct
designation symbol ‘‘E,’’ required under
S4.4.2(a), and the certification symbol
‘‘DOT,’’ required under S4.4.2(c), will
not prevent tires and rims from properly
matching in the case of worn-out tires.
4. Automobili Lamborghini says that
the owner’s manual and the tire placard,
both contain the correct and complete
size of rims installed on the subject
vehicles. Automobili Lamborghini
stated their belief that this matter will
not affect the ability to clearly identify
the subject rims in case of a parts recall
and that this matter does not have any
effect on motor vehicle safety.
5. Automobili Lamborghini says that
they are unaware of any accidents,
injuries or customer complaints related
to the lack of these markings. The
missing markings do not affect the
performance of the wheels or the tire
and wheel assemblies.
Automobili Lamborghini concluded
by expressing the belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition to be exempted from
providing notification of the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that Automobili
Lamborghini no longer controlled at the
time it determined that the
noncompliance existed. However, any
decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after Automobili Lamborghini
notified them that the subject
noncompliance existed.

Control Number.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before a
Federal agency can collect certain
information from the public, it must
receive approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). In
compliance with these requirements,
this notice announces that the following
information collection request has been
forwarded to OMB.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day comment period soliciting
comments on the information collection
was published on July 12, 2019 (84 FR
33314). NHTSA received one
anonymous comment on the 60-day

technology, and engaging in analysis to
find commonalities in crashes and
better protect the public.
NHTSA is committed to collecting
and analyzing traffic safety data to
identify trends and develop effective
countermeasures to make our nation’s
roads safer for all users. The agency
leverages a variety of specialized
technology and personnel resources to
manage its data collection systems,
CRSS included, and works continually
to improve its collection and analytical
capabilities. Results of these efforts can
be seen in the annual data files NHTSA
publishes, which are critical resources
for all engaged in highway safety
research. Additionally, NHTSA
provides analytical and statistical
support to the public, as well publishing
the annual Traffic Safety Facts report,
which provides descriptive statistics
regarding the current year’s traffic
crashes. Historical annual reports are
also available and located here: https://
crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/#/Document
TypeList/12.

NHTSA has concluded that current
crash data collection and analysis efforts
adequately reflect the intent of this
comment and it is not necessary to make
any changes to information collection
procedures based on this comment.
Title: The Crash Report Sampling
System.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0714.
Type of Request: Extension of a
previously-approved collection of
information.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Affected Public: Local Police
Jurisdictions and State Crash Database
Owners.
Abstract: Under both the Highway
Safety Act of 1966 and the National
Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of
1966 (Pub. L. 89–563, Title 1, Sec. 106,
108, and 112) NHTSA has the
responsibility to collect crash data that
support the establishment and
enforcement of motor vehicle
regulations and highway safety
programs. These regulations and
programs are developed to reduce
fatalities and the property damage
associated with motor vehicle crashes.
NHTSA’s National Center for Statistics
and Analysis (NCSA) maintains a
multidisciplinary approach to meet our
users’ data needs utilizing an efficient
combination of census, sample-based,
investigation, and existing State files to
provide timely information on traffic
crashes. CRSS provides sample-based
data on fatal, serious injury, and
property-damage-only (PDO) crashes
that helps users understand highway
safety problem areas, develop
countermeasures, and identify trends.
CRSS obtains data from a nationally
representative probability sample
selected from police-reported motor
vehicle traffic crashes. Specifically, the

CRSS data set includes crashes
involving at least one motor vehicle in
transport on a trafficway that result in
property damage, injury, or a fatality.
The crash reports sampled are chosen
from selected areas that reflect the
geography, population, miles driven,
and the number of crashes in the United
States. No additional data beyond the
selected crash reports is collected.
Additionally, the CRSS program neither
collects nor publishes any personally
identifiable information. Once the crash
reports are received they are coded and
the data is entered into the CRSS
database.
CRSS acquires national information
on fatalities, injuries, and property
damage directly from existing State
police crash reports. The user
population includes Federal and State
agencies, automobile manufacturers,
insurance companies, and the private
sector.
Frequency: Ongoing.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
320 Respondents.
Respondents include a combination of
State agencies that maintain crash data
report databases and local police
jurisdictions that investigate crashes
and complete crash reports.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 35,680 hours.
Per the below table, burden hours are
calculated differently based on the data
collection method. The revised burden
estimates in the below table describe the
burden for each data collection
methods. These estimates are based
upon observation and review of the
individual PSU’s area documentation,
which describes the data collection
protocols in detail.
