SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR 571.213, Child Restraint Systems.
    OMB Number: 2127-0511.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: Manufacturers are required to provide owner registration 
cards and to label each child restraint system with a message informing 
users of the importance of registering the restraint with the 
manufacturer. The owner registration information is then retained in 
the event that owners need to be contacted for recall or replacement 
campaigns. The manufacturer is also required to provide a printed 
instructions brochure with step-by-step information on how the 
restraint is to be used. Without proper use, the effectiveness of these 
systems is greatly diminished. Each child restraint system must also 
have a permanent label. A permanently attached label gives quick-look 
information on whether the restraint meets the safety requirements, 
recommended installation and use, and warnings against misuse.
    Affected Public: Business.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 90,000 hours.

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 February 6, 2004.
