National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Title: 49 CFR 571.205, Glazing Materials.

OMB Number: 2127-0038.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Abstract: In order to ensure that glazing and motor vehicle manufacturers are complying with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 205, “Glazing Materials,” NHTSA requires a certification label on each piece of glazing. As part of that certification label, the company must identify itself with a simple two or three digit number assigned by the agency. Failure to clearly identify the manufacturer would make the certification label, and therefore the safety compliance, unenforceable.

Affected Public: New prime glazing manufacturers (A prime glazing manufacturer is a manufacturer that fabricates, laminates, or tempers glazing materials).

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 10.5 hours.

ADDRESSES:

Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 7th 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 Department's 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 3, 2004.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
