Alexandra Cohen, Office of the Chief
Counsel, (202) 366–5263, U.S.
Department of Transportation, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC
20590. Please identify the relevant
collection of information by referring to
its OMB Control Number (2127–0609).
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: Criminal Penalty Safe Harbor
Provision.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0609.
Form Number(s): N/A.
Type of Request: Request for
reinstatement of a previously approved
information collection.
Type of Review Requested: Regular.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: 3 years from date of approval.
Summary of the Collection of
Information:
Section 5 of the Transportation Recall
Enhancement, Accountability, and
Documentation (‘‘TREAD’’) Act (Pub. L.
106–414), codified at 49 U.S.C. 30170,
notes that 18 U.S.C. 1001 provides for
criminal liability in circumstances
where a person had the intention of
misleading the Secretary of
Transportation (Secretary) regarding
safety-related defects in motor vehicles
or motor vehicle equipment that caused
death or serious bodily injury. Section
30170 also contains a ‘‘safe harbor’’ that
allows a person to avoid criminal
penalties if that person lacked
knowledge at the time of the violation
that the violation would result in an
accident causing death or serious bodily
injury and if that person corrects any
improper reports or failure to report to
the Secretary (NHTSA by delegation)
within a reasonable time. As required by
Section 5 of the TREAD Act, NHTSA
published a final rule to implement the
safe harbor provision and establish what
constitutes a ‘‘reasonable time’’ and a
sufficient manner of ‘‘correction,’’ as
they apply to the safe harbor from
criminal penalties. 66 FR 38380 (July
24, 2001). The rule is codified at 49 CFR
578.7.
A respondent that seeks safe harbor
under § 30170 and 49 CFR 578.7 must
sign and submit to NHTSA a dated
document identifying (1) each previous
improper report, and each failure to
report as required under 49 U.S.C.
30166, including a regulation,
requirement, request or order issued
thereunder, for which protection is
sought, and (2) the specific predicate
under which the improper or omitted
report should have been provided.
Respondents must submit the complete
and correct information that was
required to be submitted but was
improperly submitted or was not
previously submitted, including
relevant documents that were not
previously submitted, or, if the person
cannot do so, provide a detailed
description of that information and/or
the content of those documents and the

reason why the individual cannot
provide them to NHTSA (e.g., the
information or documents are not in the
individual’s possession or control).
Description of the Need for the
Information and Proposed Use of the
Information:
Not only is this information collection
required by statute, it also helps NHTSA
further its mission. Without this
information collection, NHTSA would
not have a way to accept submissions
from persons seeking ‘‘safe harbor.’’
This process serves to encourage
persons to correct violations and submit
corrections of any improper reports or
failures to report, thereby increasing the
likelihood of NHTSA receiving
information about safety related defects.
NHTSA anticipates using the
information collection to evaluate a
person’s request for protection from
criminal prosecution and to aid in the
identification of potential safety defects
in motor vehicles and motor vehicle
equipment. However, no information
has been collected since NHTSA issued
the implementing regulation at 49 CFR
578.7 in an interim final rule on
December 26, 2000 (65 FR 81419).
Affected Public: Those affected are
motor vehicle and motor vehicle
equipment manufacturers, including
officers or employees thereof, and other
persons who respond to or have a duty
to respond to an information collection
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30166 or a
regulation, requirement, request, or
order issued thereunder. The
information collection applies to
persons who seek ‘‘safe harbor’’ under
§ 30170. In order to qualify, a
respondent must (1) at the time of the
violation, not know that the violation
would result in an accident causing
death or serious bodily injury; and (2)
correct any improper reports or failure
to report within a reasonable time.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
One.
Frequency: As needed basis.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Two hours annually.
The agency has received no reports
from entities since this information
collection was first put into place.
However, to account for the possibility
of receiving submissions in the future,
NHTSA estimates that one person per
year will submit a report under this
collection of information. NHTSA also
estimates that a maximum of two hours
would be needed to gather and provide
the information. Thus, NHTSA
estimates that two burden hours a year
would be spent on this collection of
information.
To calculate the labor cost associated
with submitting the collection of

E:\FR\FM\29JNN1.SGM

29JNN1

38824

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 29, 2022 / Notices

information, NHTSA looked at wage
estimates for the type of personnel
involved with compiling and submitting
the documents. NHTSA estimates the
total labor costs associated with these
burden hours by looking at the average
wage for Management Occupations. The
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
estimates that the average hourly wage

for Management Occupations (BLS
Occupation code 11–0000) in the
Management of Companies and
Enterprises Industry is $74.96.1 The
Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that
private industry workers’ wages
represent 70% of total labor
compensation costs.2 Therefore, NHTSA
estimates the hourly labor costs to be

$106.33 for BLS Occupation code 11–
0000. NHTSA likewise estimates the
total labor cost associated with the two
burden hours to be $212.66. Table 1
provides a summary of the estimated
burden hours and labor costs associated
with those submissions.

TABLE 1—BURDEN ESTIMATES
Estimated burden per response

1 .........................................................

2 hours .............................................

Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost:
$8.95.
Assuming the respondent uses the
U.S. Postal Service, NHTSA estimates
that each mailed response is estimated
to cost $8.95 (priority flat rate envelope
from USPS). Accordingly, NHTSA
estimates the total annual costs for this
information collection to be $7.95 (1
submission × $8.95). If the respondent
emails the report to NHTSA, the cost
may be less than $8.95.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspects of this
information collection, including (a)
whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(b) the accuracy of the Department’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
information collection; (c) ways to
enhance the quality, utility and clarity
of the information to be collected; and
(d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Authority: The Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35, as
amended; 49 CFR 1.49; and DOT Order
