Abstract: 1. Responding to this collection is mandatory and required by 49 CFR Part 565 and Part 567. 2. Manufacturers of motor vehicles must comply with the information collection. 3. Part 565 requires an information submission to NHTSA and requires the manufacturers of a motor vehicle to assign an affix vehicle identification numbers to their vehicles that conform with the requirements of Part 565. Part 567 requires manufacturers to affix certification labels. 4. The VIN assignment and certification labeling requires are required, as-needed and the submission of VIN-deciphering information is required when a manufacturer creates a new VIN-deciphering scheme. 5. Under Part 565, NHTSA requires manufacturers to ensure that the VIN of a vehicle uniquely identifies the vehicle and identity of the manufacturer. The VIN must also contain information about certain characteristics of the vehicle. Part 567 is a certification requirement that requires the manufacturer to identify itself and the certify that the vehicle complies with the Federal motor vehicle safety standards. 6. NHTSA will receive the VIN-deciphering information. The VIN provides information to dealers, consumers, and State titling and registration authorities. The certification label is the only means for NHTSA, State Departments of Motor Vehicles, Customs officials, and law enforcement personnel to know whether a particular vehicle was originally manufactured to meet the FMVSS and the Bumper and Theft Prevention standards to the extent they are applicable. 7. The purpose of the collection is to assist NHTSA’s enforcement efforts. The VIN allows NHTSA to identify the responsible manufacturer vehicle contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety or a noncompliance with an applicable FMVSS. As required by 49 U.S.C. § 30115, a manufacturer or distributor of a motor vehicle must certify to the distributor or dealer at delivery that the vehicle complies with applicable FMVSS. 8. When NHTSA last sought approval for this information collection, it estimated that it would cost industry $1,781,990 to comply with the labelling and reporting requirements of Parts 565 and 567. This assumption did not account for the cost to print the labels and was based on receiving 733 submissions. NHTSA’s records show that 1,239 Part 565 submissions were received in 2017. To account for new replica vehicle manufacturer submissions, NHTSA estimates that in each of the next three years, will receive 1,254 Part 565 submissions. The new estimates also rely on more accurate wage data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. NHTSA now estimates that the total cost of the information collection is $9,100,557.66 annually. This is an increase of $7,318,567.66.
