SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must 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 regulations (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; and
    (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 
submissions of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on 
the following proposed collection of information:
    Title: 49 CFR Part 564, Replaceable Light Source Dimensional 
Information Collection.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2157-0563.
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for profit organizations.
    Abstract: The information to be collected is in response to 49 CFR 
part 564, ``Replaceable Light Source Dimensional Information.'' Persons 
desiring to use newly designed replaceable headlamp light sources are 
required to submit interchangeability and performance specifications to 
the agency. After a short agency review to assure completeness, the 
information is placed in a public docket for use by any person who 
would like to manufacture headlamp light sources for highway motor 
vehicles. In Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108, Lamps, 
reflective devices and associated equipment, ``Part 564 submissions'' 
are referenced as being the source of information regarding the 
performance and interchangeability information for legal headlamp light 
sources, whether original equipment or replacement equipment. The 
submitted information about headlamp light sources becomes the basis 
for certification of compliance with safety standards.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 28 hours.
    Number of respondents: 7.

Director, Office of Crash Avoidance Standards.
