DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket Number NHTSA-2007-0055]

 
Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping Requirements

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

ACTION: Request for public comment on proposed collection of 
information.

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

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from 
the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit 
public comment on proposed collections of information, including 
extensions and reinstatement of previously approved collections.
    This document describes one collection of information for which 
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 26, 2008.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. David Sparks, Office of Odometer 
Fraud Investigation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W55-318, 
Washington, D.C. 20590-0001. Telephone: (202) 366-5953

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB 
for approval, it must first 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 regulation (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;
    (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 
submission of responses).
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public 
comments on the following proposed collection of information:
    Title: 49 CFR Part 580 Odometer Disclosure Statement.
    OMB Number: 2127--0047.
    Affected Public: Households, Business, other for-profit and not-
for-profit institutions, Federal Government, and State, Local, or 
Tribal Government.
    Abstract: The Federal Odometer Law, 49 U.S.C. Chapter 327, and 
implementing regulations, 49 CFR Part 580 require each transferor of a 
motor vehicle to provide the transferee with a written disclosure of 
the vehicle's mileage. This disclosure is to be made on the vehicle's 
title, or in the case of a vehicle that has never been titled, on a 
separate form. If the title is lost or is held by a lien holder, and 
where permitted by state law, the disclosure can be made on a state-
issued, secure power of attorney.
    Estimated Annual Burden: 2,034,910.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 162,808,900.
    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.
