Abstract:
This action consolidates two existing collections of information. In the previous collections of information: (1) a collection was established to require manufacturers to provide owner registration cards and to label each child restraint system (CRS) with a message informing users of the importance of registering the device with the manufacturer, and (2) another collection was issued to allow NHTSA to implement a registration program to send CRS owners a substitute registration form if owners had lost the registration card (OMB control numbers 2127-0511, 49 CFR 571.213, Child Restraint Systems, and 2127-0576, Child Safety Seat Registration). Furthermore, in the second collection, it was also required that if either NHTSA or a manufacturer determines that a CRS contains a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety or fails to comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard, pursuant to Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United States, the manufacturer must notify owners and purchasers of the defect or noncompliance and must provide a remedy without charge. The proposed revised collection will consolidate these provisions but will retain the control number of the second collection.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The burden reduction is due to the elimination of the production of the registration cards and labels, as well, as the creation and maintenance of records in the burden calculation. In the previous statement, NHTSA estimated that there would be 15 respondents per year requiring 265,500 yearly burden hours to (1) produce the registration cards and labels, (2) collect registration information and (3) create and keep records to comply with the requirements of the information collection. We believe that the manufacturing costs for the production of the registration cards and labels should not be part of the burden estimation. Also, we believe that by collecting the registration card information into a database, the CRS manufacturer would simultaneously be creating the record to comply with the requirements of the information collection. Therefore, in this information collection, we estimate there will be 15 respondents per year requiring 39,247 yearly burden hours to collect registration information to comply with the requirements of the information collection.
