SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:   

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR part 542, Procedures for Selecting Lines to be 
Covered by the Theft Prevention Standard.
    OMB Number: 2127-0539.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: The Anti-Car Act of 1992 amended the Motor Vehicle Theft 
Law Enforcement Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-547) and requires this 
collection of information. One component of the theft prevention 
legislation required the Secretary of Transportation (delegated to the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) to promulgate a theft 
prevention standard for the designation of high-theft vehicle lines. 
Provisions delineating the information collection requirements include 
section 33104, which requires NHTSA to promulgate a rule for the 
identification of major component parts for vehicles having or expected 
to have a theft rate above the median rate for all new passenger motor 
vehicles (cars, MPV's, and light-duty trucks) sold in the United 
States, as well as with major component parts that are interchangeable 
with those having high-theft-rates.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 640.

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

technology.
    A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 
days of publication.
