This information collection request
(ICR) is to request approval from OMB for reinstatement with
modification of the previously approved information collection
titled “Consolidated Labeling Requirements for 49 CFR 565 and 567.”
Responding to this collection is mandatory and required by 49 CFR
Part 565 and Part 567 for manufacturers of motor vehicles. This ICR
covers five information collections. There are four information
collections under part 565 and one under part 567. The first
information collection in part 565 is the requirement for
manufacturers to affix vehicle identification numbers (VINs) to all
motor vehicles they produce that conform to specific requirements
in part 565. The second information collection in part 565 is the
requirement to obtain a manufacturer identifier (or identifiers) to
be used to uniquely identify the manufacturer within the VIN of
each motor vehicle. The third information collection in part 565 is
a requirement for foreign manufacturers to submit to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) their manufacturer
identifiers (this requirement does not apply to U.S. manufacturers
because NHTSA issues manufacturer identifiers to these
manufacturers). The fourth information collection in part 565 is a
requirement to submit VIN-deciphering information to NHTSA. There
is one information collection under part 567, which requires
manufacturers to affix to each vehicle they manufacture permanent
labels certifying the compliance of the motor vehicle. The VIN
assignment and certification labeling information collections are
mandatory, as-needed disclosure requirements and the submission of
VIN-deciphering information is a mandatory reporting requirement
when a manufacturer creates a new VIN-deciphering scheme (including
whenever a manufacturer needs to update or otherwise made amendment
to a previously-submitted VIN-deciphering scheme). The information
collection for the submission of information necessary to obtain a
manufacturer identifier and the requirement to submit manufacturer
identifiers to NHTSA (for foreign manufactures) is required on
occasion, before a manufacturer starts producing motor vehicles,
when a manufacturer starts producing a new vehicle type, or when a
manufacturer that has a low-volume manufacturer identifier needs to
obtain a high-volume identifier. When NHTSA last received approval
for this information collection request, the agency estimated that
the annual burden for the information collection request was 60,542
hours and $12,016,260. NHTSA now estimates the annual burden to be
164,016 hours and $33,686,400. This is an increase of 103,474 hours
and $21,670,140. The increase is almost entirely a result of NHTSA
changing the way it estimates burden. However, a small part of the
increase is a result of the additional replica vehicle
manufacturers expected to be producing motor vehicles.
