PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT STATEMENT: A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for this information collection is 2127-0043 (Expiration Date: 04/30/2025). This is a mandatory information collection that covers the submission of manufacturer identification information. Under 49 CFR Part 566, manufacturers of motor vehicles and certain items of motor vehicle equipment are required to submit identifying information to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) within 30 days of beginning manufacturing of motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment subject to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards or 30 days prior to importing motor vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment. The information is only submitted once unless the information in the original submission needs to be updated. NHTSA uses this information to contact manufacturers and also makes this information available to the general public on a NHTSA website. The purpose of this information collection is to ensure that NHTSA is able to identify manufacturers and their products and locate the manufacturer if a safety-related defect or noncompliance is suspected or found to exist in a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment. This ensures that NHTSA can administer and enforce recall of vehicles that do not comply with the FMVSS or contain safety-related defects. NHTSA estimates the burden associated with this submission to be 15 minutes. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection Clearance Officer, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Room W45-205, Washington, DC, 20590.
