Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register 
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of 
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of 
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must 
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation at 5 CFR 
1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) The accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) How to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;
    (iv) How to minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public 
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
    Title: 23 CFR, part 1345, Occupant Protection Incentive Grant--
Section 405.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0600.
    Affected Public: The 50 States, The District of Columbia, Puerto 
Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas and Virgin Islands.
    Form Number: HS-217 Highway Safety Program Cost Summary.

states that can demonstrate compliance with at least four of six 
criteria. Demonstration of compliance requires submission of copies of 
relevant seat belt and child passenger protection statutes, plan and/or 
reports on statewide seatbelt enforcement and childseat education 
programs and possibly some traffic court records. In addition, States 
eligible to receive grant funds must submit a Program Cost Summary 
(Form 217), allocating section 405 funds to occupant protection 
programs.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 1736.
