This information collection request (ICR) is to request approval from OMB for reinstatement with modification of the previously approved information collection titled âConsolidated Labeling Requirements for 49 CFR 565 and 567.â 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.
