before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for
approval, it must first publish a
document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and
otherwise consult with members of the
public and affected agencies concerning
each proposed collection of information.
The OMB has promulgated regulations
describing what must be included in
such a document. Under OMB’s
regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an
agency must ask for public comment on
the following:
(i.) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
(ii.) The accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
(iii.) How to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(iv.) How to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology (e.g. permitting
electronic submission of responses).
In compliance with these
requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed
collections of information:
Title: Insurer Reporting Requirement
for 49 CFR part 544.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0547.
Form Number: None.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit.
Requested Expiration Date of
Approval: Three years from approval
date.
Abstract: This information collection
supports the Department’s strategic goal
of Economic Growth and Trade. The
Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement
Act of 1984, added Title VI to the Motor
Vehicle and Information Cost Savings
Act (recodified as Chapter 331 of Title
49, United States Code) which
mandated this information collection.
The 1984 Theft Act was amended by the
Anti Car Theft Act (ACTA) of 1992 (Pub.
L. 102–519). NHTSA is authorized
under 49 U.S.C. 33112, to collect this
information. This information collection
supports the agency’s economic growth
and trade goal through rulemaking
implementation developed to help
reduce the cost of vehicle ownership by
reducing the cost of comprehensive
insurance coverage. 49 U.S.C. 33112
requires certain passenger motor vehicle

insurance companies and rental/leasing
companies to provide information to
NHTSA on comprehensive insurance
premiums, theft, recoveries and actions
taken to address motor vehicle theft.
Estimated Annual Burden: Based on
prior years’ insurer compilation
information, the agency estimates that
the time to review and compile
information for the reports has
decreased and is expected to take
approximately a total of 13,375 burden
hours (12,950 man-hours for 25
insurance companies and 425 manhours for 5 rental and leasing
companies). Claim adjusters duties are
those of normal business practice and
do no assist in preparing or compiling
information for the reports. There has
also been a decrease in the number of
companies required to report since the
last reporting period. The number of
annual reports range between 30 to 35
as a group (includes insurance
companies and rental and leasing
companies). More insurers are now
submitting their reports electronically
(approximately 70%). The agency has
re-estimated the burden hours to be
13,375 total annual hours in lieu of
63,238 as the current OMB inventory.
This is a decrease of 49,863 hours. Most
recent year insurer compilation
information estimates also reveal that it
takes an average cost of $47.00 per hour
for clerical and technical staff to prepare
the annual reports. Therefore, the
agency estimates the total cost
associated with the burden hours are
$628,625.
The burden hour for rental and
leasing companies is significantly less
than that for insurance companies
because rental and leasing companies
comply with fewer reporting
requirements than the insurance
companies. The reporting burden is
based on insurers’ salaries, clerical and
technical expenses, and labor costs.
Number of Respondents: 30.
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.
