Abstract: NHTSA seeks approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of an extension of a currently approved collection of information (OMB Control Number: 2127-0039) for petitions from any interested person requesting a hearing to decide whether a manufacturer has reasonably met requirements for notification and remedy of safety defects or noncompliance with a Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS). The submission of a petition is voluntary, and 49 CFR Part 557 establishes procedures for the submission and disposition of petitions for hearings on the issues of whether the manufacturer has reasonably met its obligation to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a safety-related defect or noncompliance, or to remedy such defect or noncompliance free of charge. NHTSA’s estimate of the annual hour burden for this information collection remains at 1 hour. NHTSA’s estimate of the annual burden has changed from $0 to $7.95 to account for postage costs.
