Abstract

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30166(e), NHTSA reasonably may require a 
manufacturer of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment to keep 
records, and a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to make reports, to 
enable (NHTSA) to decide whether the manufacturer, distributor or 
dealer has complied or is complying with this chapter or a regulation 
prescribed under this chapter.
    49 U.S.C. 30118(c) requires manufacturers to notify NHTSA and 
owners, purchasers, and dealers if the manufacturer (1) learn that any 
vehicle or equipment manufactured by it contains a defect and decides 
in good faith that the defect relates to motor vehicle safety, or (2) 
decides in good faith that the vehicle or equipment does not comply 
with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard. The only way 
for the agency to decide if and when a manufacturer learned of a 
safety-related defect or decided in good faith that some products did 
not comply with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard is 
for the agency to have access to the information available to the 
manufacturer.
    Affected Public: Business or other-for-profit, individuals or 
households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 33,590.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 869.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th 
Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk Officer.
    Comments are invited on: 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; the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collection; ways to enhance the quality, utility 
and clarity of the information to be collected; and 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.
    A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 
days of publication.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 26, 2011.
