Additional Information: Includes Retrospective Review under E.O. 13563. HM-254; SB - Y, IC - Y, SLT - N; This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $18,000.00 in the annual burden and costs under OMB Control Number 2137-0051 due to proposed changes to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely-used or longstanding special permits that have an established safety record. This rulemaking should result in an overall decrease of $11,385.00 in the annual burden and cost to OMB Control Number 2137-0557 due to the larger cost savings of reducing the number of approvals required by testers of air bags and air bag modules. This rulemaking may result in a decrease of $5,706.60 in the annual burden and cost to OMB Control No. 2137-0034 due to shippers no longer being required to put the EX numbers on shipping papers for air bag modules. | |
