Abstract: NHTSA seeks the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) approval to reinstate a previously approved information collection (OMB Control Number: 2127-0629) to obtain vehicle information for the general public in support of the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The information collection requests responses from major motor vehicle manufacturers about the crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and other capabilities of their vehicle models. The collection is voluntary and conducted annually. The information is primarily used to provide information to consumers. It is used in the annually published “Purchasing with Safety in Mind: What to look for when buying a vehicle” brochure, other consumer publications, and to address consumer inquiries as well as for internal agency analyses. This reinstatement increases the burden hours by 1,195 hours from when this ICR was last approved (from 800 hours to 1,995 hours).
