This collection covers the information
collection requirements found in various sections in the Motor
Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (Act), 49 U.S.C. 30101, et seq., that
require manufacturers to notify NHTSA of safety defects and
noncompliances with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS)
in motor vehicles and equipment, as well as the provision of
information relating to the ensuing owner and dealer notifications
and free remedy campaigns that follow those notifications. Other
collection requirements include submission of certain information
related to tire recalls and the proper disposal of tires, and the
reporting of sales and leases of defective or noncomplaint
tires.
Due to a
congressionally-mandated increase in the required number of
quarterly reports for each recall, the number of quarterly reports
that track the completion of safety recalls has also increased. Our
previous estimate of 4,498 quarterly reports received annually is
now revised upwards to 5,875 quarter reports received annually. We
continue to estimate it takes manufacturers 1 hour to gather the
pertinent information for each quarterly report, and 10 additional
hours for the 17 major passenger vehicle manufacturers to submit
electronic reports. We therefore now estimate that the quarterly
reporting burden pursuant to 49 U.S.C.A. § 30118 totals 6,045 hours
((5,875 quarterly reports × 1 hour/report) + (17 MFRs × 10 hours
for electronic submission)). Additionally, per the Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law (Public Law 117-58, Title IV, Subtitle B,
Section 24202), manufacturers are now required to submit three (3)
annual recall completion rate reports. NHTSA estimates that it will
receive and average of 316 reports yearly from manufacturers. We
estimate it takes manufacturers 2 hours to complete annual reports,
including 1.5 hours to gather pertinent information for each
report, and .5 hours for the 17 major passenger vehicle
manufacturers to submit the electronic reports. We therefore
estimate that the annual reporting burden pursuant to 49 USC 30118
totals 632 hours ((316 annual reports x 1.5 hours) + (17 MFRs x .5
hours for electronic submission)).
