Abstract:
If a motor vehicle or item of replacement motor vehicle equipment contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety or fails to comply with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard, the manufacturer is required under 49 U.S.C. ยง 30118 to furnish notification of the defect or noncompliance to the Secretary of Transportation, as well as to owners, purchasers, and dealers of the motor vehicle or replacement equipment, and to remedy the defect or noncompliance without charge to the owner. To ensure that manufacturers are meeting these and other responsibilities under the statutes and regulations administered by NHTSA, the agency issued 49 CFR Part 566, Manufacturer Identification. The regulations in Part 566 require manufacturers of motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment, other than tires, to which a Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) applies, to submit to NHTSA, on a one-time basis, identifying information on themselves and on the products that they manufacture to those standards. Manufacturers are required to submit identifying information to NHTSA no later than 30 days after they begin to manufacture motor vehicles or motor vehicle equipment subject to the FMVSS.

Short Statement:
The differences in this information collection request from the previous submission is the means the agency is now providing to manufacturer to submit the required information electronically. When it last sought approval for this information collection, the agency projected that it would receive Part 566 submissions from approximately 533 manufacturers each year and that it would take each manufacturer 10 minutes to prepare each submission. Based on the actual number of submission it received over the past three years (523 in 2013, 507 in 2014, and 540 in 2015), the agency reduced the projected number of applications it expects to receive in each of the next three years to 523. The agency has made a corresponding reduction in the projected annual cost to industry for preparing the submissions, from $3,990 to $3,930. This is based on a projected expenditure of 15 minutes to make each submission, at a cost of $30 per hour.
