SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
    Title: 49 CFR part 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft Prevention 
Standard.
    OMB Number: 2127-0542.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331 requires the Secretary of 
Transportation to promulgate a theft prevention standard to provide for 
the identification of certain motor vehicles and their major 
replacement parts to impede motor vehicle theft. 49 U.S.C. 33106 
provides for an exemption to this identification process by petitions 
from manufacturers who equip covered vehicles with standard original 
equipment antitheft devices, which the Secretary determines are likely 
to be as effective in reducing or deterring theft as the identification 
system.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 64.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725-17th 
Street, NW, Washington, D.C. 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 Departments 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 October 3, 2001.
