49 CFR Part 574

[Docket No. NHTSA-2006-25311]


Tire Identification and Recordkeeping; Correction

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In order to facilitate notification to consumers of defective 
or nonconforming tires, our tire recordkeeping regulation sets forth, 
among other things, the methods by which independent tire dealers and 
distributors record, on standard registration forms, their names and 
addresses and the identification number of the tires sold to consumers, 
and provide these forms to the consumers for reporting their names to 
the tire manufacturers. One of the figures related to tire registration 
forms had been inadvertently deleted through an administrative error. 
This document corrects this inadvertent removal.

DATES: Effective Date: This correcting amendment is effective August 
11, 2006.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Eric Stas, Attorney-Advisor, 
Office of the Chief Counsel, NCC-112, 400 Seventh Street, SW., 
Washington, DC 20590. Telephone: (202) 366-2992. Fax: (202) 366-3820.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to facilitate notification to 
purchasers of defective or nonconforming tires, 49 CFR Part 574 sets 
forth, among other things, the methods by which independent tire 
dealers and distributors record, on standard registration forms, their 
names and addresses and the identification number of the tires sold to 
consumers and provide these forms to the consumers so that they report 
their names to the tire manufacturers. Figure 3(b), depicting the 
``address side'' of the registration form, was inadvertently deleted. 
This document corrects this inadvertent deletion.
    The agency examined the amendments to the Federal Register notices 
affecting 49 CFR Part 574 and concluded that Figure 3(b) had been 
inadvertently removed from the CFR. Without Figure 3(b), the tire 
registration form examples are incomplete. This document corrects the 
CFR by adding the inadvertently removed Figure 3(b) to 49 CFR 574.7.
    This correction will not impose or relax any substantive 
requirements or burdens on manufacturers. Therefore, NHTSA finds for 
good cause that any notice and opportunity for comment on these 
correcting amendments are not necessary.
