designated as acceptable replacements,
the replacement light sources are
required to comply with the
dimensional and performance
information in the docket for its type. A
manufacturer may also request
modification of a light source for which
information has previously been placed
in the public docket. The information
helps to standardize headlamp bulbs for
performance interchangeability.
Affected Public: This information
collection affects manufacturers of a
motor vehicles, original equipment
headlamps, or original equipment
headlamp replaceable light sources,
which intend to manufacture a
replaceable light source as original
equipment or to incorporate a

replaceable light source in its
headlamps or motor vehicles.
Number of respondents: 1 annually.
Frequency: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 4 hours.
NHTSA estimates that compiling and
submitting the required information will
take, on average, 4 hours per
submission. NHTSA estimates, based on
past submissions, that the agency will
receive approximately 1 submission per
year. Therefore, NHTSA estimates the
total burden associated with this
information collection to be 4 hours per
year.
NHTSA estimates the labor cost
associated with this collection of
information by (1) applying the
appropriate average hourly labor rate
published by the Bureau of Labor

Statistics (BLS), (2) dividing by 0.702 1
(70.2%), for private industry workers to
obtain the total cost of compensation,
and (3) multiplying by the estimated
burden hours for each respondent type.
NHTSA estimates the hourly cost
associated with compiling and
submitting documentation under part
564 to be $60.26 2 per hour using the
mean hourly wage estimate published
by BLS for compliance officers in the
motor vehicle manufacturing industry
(Standard Occupational Classification #
13–1041). Therefore, NHTSA estimates
that the total labor cost associated with
564 submissions is $241.04 per
submission for a total of $241.04 per
year for all submissions. Table 1 below
provides a summary of the estimated
burden hours and labor costs associated
with those submissions.

The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) invites
public comments about our intention to
request approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for an
extension of a currently approved
information collection. Before a Federal
agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive
approval from OMB. Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB
approval, Federal agencies must solicit

public comment on proposed
collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatement of
previously approved collections. This
document describes a collection of
information for which NHTSA intends
to seek OMB approval and solicits
public comments on continuation of the
requirements for the collection of
information entitled ‘‘Consolidated
Child Restraint System Registration for
Defect Notifications and Labeling’’
(OMB Control Number: 2127–0576) and
the accuracy of the agency’s revised
estimates of the burden of the
information collections.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on
or before September 26, 2022.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments
identified by the Docket No. NHTSA-–
2022–0042 through any of the following
methods:
• Electronic Submissions: Go to the
Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before an agency
submits a proposed collection of
information to OMB for approval, it
must first publish a document in the
Federal Register providing a 60-day
comment period and otherwise consult
with members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing
what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB’s regulation (at
5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must ask
for public comment on the following: (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the agency’s estimate
of the burden of the proposed collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(c) how to enhance the quality, utility,
and clarity of the information to be

collected; and (d) how to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on those who are to respond, including
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses. In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collection of information for which the
agency is seeking approval from OMB.
Title: ‘‘Consolidated Child Restraint
System Registration for Defect
Notifications and Labeling.’’
OMB Control Number: 2127–0576.
Form Number(s): NHTSA 1053A,
NHTSA 1053B.
Type of Request: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information: This information collection
provides that manufacturers of child
restraint systems (CRSs): (1) produce
registration cards, labels and printed
instructions (brochures), (2) collect CRS
owner registration information, and (3)
create and keep registration records so
that, in the event of a safety recall,
manufacturers can provide direct
notification to owners. Child restraint
manufacturers are required to provide
an owner’s registration card for
purchasers of child safety seats in
accordance with title 49 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), part 571—
section 213, ‘‘Child restraint systems.’’
The registration card is perforated into
two-parts (see Figures 1 and 2). The top
part contains a message and suitable
instructions to be retained by the
purchaser. The bottom part is to be
returned to the manufacturer by the
purchaser. The bottom part includes
prepaid return postage, the pre-printed
name/address of the manufacturer, the
pre-printed model and date of
manufacture, and spaces for purchasers
to fill in their name and address.
Optionally, child restraint
manufacturers are permitted to add to
the registration form: (a) Specified
statements informing child restraint
system (CRS) owners that they may
register online; (b) the internet address
for registering with the company; (c)
revisions to statements reflecting use of
the internet to register; and (d) a space
for the consumer’s email address. For
those CRS owners with access to the
internet, online registration may be a
preferred method of registering a CRS.
In addition to the registration card
supplied by the manufacturer, NHTSA
has implemented a CRS registration

PO 00000

Frm 00170

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

system to assist those individuals who
have either lost the registration card that
came with the CRS or purchased a
previously owned CRS. Upon the
owner’s request, NHTSA provides a
substitute registration form that can be
obtained either by mail or from the
internet 1 (see Figure 3). When the
completed registration is returned to the
agency, it is then submitted to the CRS
manufacturer. In the absence of a
substitute registration system, many
owners of child passenger safety seats,
especially any second-hand owners,
might not be notified of safety defects
and non-compliances, and would not
have the defects and non-compliances
remedied.
Child seat owner registration
information is retained in the event that
owners need to be contacted for defect
recalls or replacement campaigns.
Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United
States Code specifies that if either
NHTSA or a manufacturer determines
that motor vehicles or items of motor
vehicle equipment contain a defect that
relates to motor vehicle safety or fail to
comply with an applicable Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, the
manufacturer must notify owners and
purchasers of the defect or
noncompliance and must provide a
remedy without charge. In title 49 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part
577, defect and noncompliance
notification for equipment items,
including child restraint systems, must
be sent by first class mail to the most
recent purchaser known to the
manufacturer.
Child restraint manufacturers are also
required to provide printed instructions
in a brochure containing step-by-step
information on how the restraint is to be
used. Without proper use, the
effectiveness of these systems is greatly
diminished. Each child restraint system
must also have a permanent label. A
permanently attached label gives ‘‘quick
look’’ information on whether the
restraint meets the safety requirements,
recommended installation and use, and
warnings against misuse. CRSs
equipped with internal harnesses to
restrain children, and with components
to attach to a child restraint anchorage
system, are also required to be labeled
with a child weight limit for using the
lower anchors to attach the child
restraint to the vehicle. The child
weight limit depends upon the weight
of the CRS.

Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: CRS manufacturers are

required to label each CRS and provide
brochures with safety information and
instructions on the proper use of the
restraint. Such information would
mitigate the risk of misuse and
consequently reduce injuries to and
fatalities of children in crashes. This
collection supports the Department of
Transportation’s (DOT) strategic goal for
safety, by working towards the
elimination of transportation related
deaths and injuries involving children.
FMVSS No. 213 requires that each
CRS has an owner registration form
attached. It permits information
regarding online product registration to
be included on the owner registration
form required under the standard. This
enhances the opportunity for restraint
owners to register their CRSs online,
which may increase registration rates
and the effectiveness of recall
campaigns. Manufacturers are also
permitted to supplement (but not
replace) recall notification via first-class
mail with email notification, which
increases the likelihood that owners
learn of a recall. Manufacturers are also
required to include a U.S. telephone
number on a CRS label for the purpose
of enabling consumers to register their
products by telephone.
Increasing CRS registrations is an
important part to protecting young
children and infants. By registering
CRSs, product manufacturers will to
able to directly contact owners in the
event of any safety recalls.
Affected Public: Businesses,
Individual Consumers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 38
Manufacturers, 2,835,200 Consumers.
Frequency: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 109,939 hours.

The total burden hours for this
collection consist of: (1) the hours spent
by consumers filling out the registration
form, (2) the hours spent collecting
registration information and (3) the
hours spent determining the maximum
allowable child weight for lower anchor
use and adding the information to the
existing label and instruction manual.
(1) Annual Burden for filling out
registration card. NHTSA estimates that
16,000,000 CRSs are currently sold each
year by 38 CRS manufacturers. Of the
CRSs sold each year, NHTSA estimates
that 2,369,660 are registered using
registration cards and 465,540 are
registered online. A consumer spends
approximately 60 seconds (1 minute)
filling out the registration form. The
estimated annual number of burden
hours for consumers to fill out the
registration form is 47,253 hours (=
2,835,200 × (60 seconds/3,600 seconds/
hour)).
(2) Annual Burden for Reporting
(collecting registration information).
Manufacturers must spend about 90
seconds (1.5 min) to enter the
information from each returned
registration card; while, online
registrations are considered to have no
burden for the manufacturer, as the
information is entered by the purchaser.
Therefore, the estimated annual number
of burden hours for CRS registration
information collection is 59,242 hours
(= 2,369,660 × (90 seconds/3,600
seconds/hour)).
(3) Annual Burden for Reporting
(determining maximum allowable child
weight). About 12,400,000 of the CRSs
sold each year are equipped with
internal harnesses. About half of the
CRSs equipped with internal harnesses
sold annually (6,200,000 = 12,400,000 ×
0.5) would require a label with the

maximum allowable child weight for
using the lower anchors. Manufacturers
must spend about 2 seconds to
determine the maximum allowable
child weight for lower anchor use and
to add the information to the existing
label and instruction manual. Therefore,
the total annual burden hours for the
information on the maximum allowable
child weight in the existing label and
instruction manual is 3,444 hours (=
6,200,000 × (2 seconds/3,600 seconds/
hour)).
The estimated total annual number of
burden hours is 109,939 (= 47,253 +
59,242 + 3,444) hours. The total
estimated hour burden increased from
99,330 hours to 109,939 hours (a 10,609burden hour increase). The increase in
burden is due to an increase in CRS
sales. In 2018, NHTSA estimated that
approximately 14,500,000 CRSs are sold
each year while NHTSA’s estimate in
2022 increased to 16,000,000 CRSs.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$8,000,000.
The total burden cost for this
collection consist of printing and
material costs of labels and registration
cards.
Printing and Material Costs of Labels
and Registration Cards
The total annual cost to the
respondents is estimated to be
$8,000,000. NHTSA estimates that the
printing and material cost of $0.20 per
CRS labels and $0.30 per CRS
registration card. The total annual cost
to respondents is calculated by
multiplying the printing and material
cost ($0.50 = $0.20 + $0.30) by the
estimated 16,000,000 responses (CRSs
produced) per year ($0.50 × 16,000,000).
The total estimated annual burden costs
are detailed in the table below:

$8,000,000.00

The total estimated burden cost
increased from $0 to $8,000,000 (a
$8,000,000 burden cost increase). The
increase in burden is due to the addition
of printing and material costs for labels
and registration cards which had not
been taken into consideration in the
past.
