SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Title: Air Bag Deactivation.
OMB Number: 2127-0588.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved information
collection.
Abstract: If a private individual or lessee wants to install an air
bag on-off switch to turn-off either or both frontal air bags, they
must complete Form OMB 2127-0588 to certify certain statements
regarding use of the switch. The dealer or business must, in turn,
submit the completed forms to NHTSA within seven days. The submission
of the completed forms by the dealers and repair business to NHTSA, as
required, will serve the agency several purposes. They will aid the
agency in monitoring the number of authorization requests submitted and
the pattern in claims of risk groups membership. The completed forms
will enable the agency to determine whether the dealers and repair
business are complying with the terms of the exemption, which include a
requirement that the dealers and repair businesses accept only fully
completed forms. Finally, submission of the completed forms to the
agency will promote honesty and accuracy in the filling out of the
forms by vehicle owners. The air bag on-off switches are installed only
in vehicles in which the risk of harm needs to be minimized on a case-
by-case basis.
Affected Public: Private individuals, fleet owners and lessees,
motor vehicle dealers, repair business.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 3,750 hours.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7,500.
ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 days, to: Chandana Achanta, Desk
Officer, Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs, Attention: by fax at (202) 395-6974; by mail at
Room 10235, 725-17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503; or at [email protected].
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 Departments 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 April 6, 2010.
