SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR 571.403, Platform lift systems for motor vehicles and 
49 CFR 571.404, Platform lift installations in motor vehicles.
    OMB Number: 2127-0621.
    Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Abstract: FMVSS No. 403, Platform lift systems for motor vehicle, 
establishes minimum performance standards for platform lifts designed 
for installation on motor vehicles. Its purpose is to prevent injuries 
and fatalities to passengers and bystanders during the operation of 
platform lifts that assist persons with limited mobility in entering 
and leaving a vehicle. FMVSS No. 404, ``Platform lift installations in 
motor vehicles,'' places specific requirements on vehicle manufacturers 
or alterers who install platform lifts in new vehicles. Under these 
regulations, lift manufacturers must certify that their lifts meet the 
requirements of FMVSS No. 403 and must declare the certification on the 
owner's manual insert, the installation instructions, and the lift 
operating instruction label. Certification of compliance with FMVSS No. 
404 is on the certification label already required of vehicle 
manufacturers and alterers under 49 CFR part 567. Therefore, lift 
manufacturers must produce an insert that is placed in the vehicle 
owner's manual, installation instructions, and one or two labels that 
are placed near the controls of the lift.
    Affected Public: Business or other-for-profit organizations.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: There is no burden to the general 
public.

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of Information 
and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 725 17th 
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: January 27, 2009.
