This is to request the Office of Management and Budgetâs (OMB) approval and three-year clearance for the information collection titled, â49 CFR Part 586, Replica Motor Vehicles.â (OMB Control No. 2127-New). Below is a summary of the proposed collection:
1. Responding to the collection would be mandatory for all replica vehicle manufacturers and entities seeking to register as a replica vehicle manufacturer.
2. Entities that manufacture replica vehicles or seek to register as a replica motor vehicle would be required to respond to the information collection.
3. This information collection would involve registration, reporting, labeling and consumer disclosure requirements.
4. The registration requirement would be a one-time information collection unless the replica vehicle manufacturer seeks to change the replica motor vehicles it manufacturers. The reporting requirement for replica manufacturers would be an annual requirement and labeling and customer disclosures requirements would be met, as required, for each replica vehicle the respondent manufacturers.
5. Respondents would provide information about the replica vehicles that they seek to manufacture in its registration requirements and information about the replica vehicles they manufactured in the annual reports. The temporary label would alert prospective and actual purchasers of replica vehicles that the vehicle does not conform to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards and the consumer disclosure will include a description of the standards from which the vehicle is exempt.
6. NHTSA would receive the registrations and annual reports and replica vehicle consumers will receive the information provided on the temporary labels and in the consumer disclosures.
7. This information collection is necessary for NHTSAâs implementation of the replica motor vehicle exemption program. NHTSA will use the registration information in determining whether to approve manufacturers to produce exempted vehicles and to ensure that the manufacturers and the vehicles they intend to manufacture qualify for the exemption program. The annual report will be used for tracking and enforcement purposes and to allow manufacturers to indicate whether they will continue manufacturing exempt replica vehicles. The temporary labels and consumer disclosures are intended to inform purchasers of replica vehicles about the safety standards to which the vehicle does not conform.
8. This is a new information collection.
This is a new information collection request. This new collection is expected to increase burdens by 400 hours and $16,239 in labor costs associated with those burden hours. Additionally, these new information collections increase other costs by $8,000.
