Title: Replaceable Light Source Information Collection, 49 CFR Part 564.

OMB Number: 2127-0563.

Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Affected Public: Business or other-for-profit organizations

Abstract: The information to be collected is in response to 49 CFR Part 564, “Replaceable Light Source Information.” Manufacturers of modified or original equipment light sources desiring to use newly designed replaceable light sources in headlamps are required to submit manufacturing specifications (dimensional, electrical specification, and marking/designation information) to the agency. After a short agency review to assure completeness, the information is placed in the Part 564—Replacable Light Source Information Docket. The Part 564 Docket is a public docket available for use by any manufacturer who desires to manufacture headlamp light sources for highway motor vehicles. In Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 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. Thus, the submitted information about headlamp light sources becomes the basis for certification of compliance with FMVSS No. 108.

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 28.
