Reports, Forms and Recordkeeping Requirements; Agency Information
Collection Activity Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information
Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR
describes the nature of the information collection and its expected
burden. The Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period
soliciting comments on the following collection of information was
published on December 30,1996 (61 FR, 68812-68813).

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 11, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Complete copies of each NHTSA request
for collection of information approval may be obtained at no charge
from Mr. Edward Kosek, NHTSA Information Collection Clearance Officer,
NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Room 6123, Washington, DC 20590. Mr.
Kosek's telephone number is (202) 366-2589. Please identify the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA).
Title: Tires and Rims Labeling.
OMB No.: 2127-0503.
Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously
approved collection for which approval has expired.
Affected Public: New tire Manufacturers, retreaders and rim
manufacturers.
Abstract: The labeling of motor vehicle tire and rims with
information

[[Page 37115]]

required by the regulations and standards to benefit motor vehicle
manufacturers and consumers. Primarily, these labeling requirements (49
CFR parts 569 & 574) help ensure that tires are mounted on appropriate
rims; and that the rims and tires are mounted on vehicles for which
they were intended.
Description of the need for the information and proposed use of the
information--The agency has not considered methods of collecting the
required information and providing it to consumers and tire dealers
other than permanently labeling motor vehicles, tires, and rims. The
safety information provided on the labels is needed throughout the
useful life of the motor vehicle, tire, or rim. The permanent vehicle,
tire, and rim labels are required by the federal standards for tires
and rims. These standards are legal obstacles to reducing the burden of
the labeling requirements. The labeling requirements apply to all motor
vehicle tires and rims intended for use on the nation's highways
regardless of the size of the manufacturer or retreader. The burden to
small manufacturers and entities resulting from these labeling
requirements cannot be adjusted or minimized since all tires and rims
must be labeled with this information.
The estimated number of respondents totals is 6,673.
Annual estimate total burden: 264,444 hours.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th Street, NW.,
Washington, DC 20503, Attention DOT 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.

Issued in Washington, DC, on July 2, 1997.
Phillip A. Leach,
Clearance Officer, United States Department of Transportation.
