SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: Voluntary Child Safety Registration Form.
    OMB Number: 2127--0576.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement, with change, of a previously 
approved collection for which approval has expired.
    Abstract: Chapter 301 of Title 49 of the United States Code 
provides that if either NHTSA or a manufacturer determines that motor 
vehicles or items of motor vehicle equipment contain a defect that 
relates to motor vehicle safety or fail to comply with an applicable 
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, the manufacturer must notify

[[Page 63741]]

owners and purchasers of the defect or noncompliance and must provide a 
remedy without charge. Pursuant to 49 CFR Part 577 Defects and 
noncompliance notification for equipment items, including child safety 
seats, must be sent ``by first class mail to the most recent purchaser 
known to the manufacturer.'' In the absence of a registration system, 
many owners of child safety seats are not notified of safety defects 
and noncompliance, since the manufacturer is not aware of their 
identities.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 120.

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 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 November 26, 2001.
Delmas Johnson,
Acting Associate Administrator for Administration.
