defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this
decision only applies to the subject tires
that Cooper no longer controlled at the
time it determined that the
noncompliance existed. However, the
granting of this petition does not relieve
equipment distributors and dealers of
the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant tires under their
control after Cooper notified them that
the subject noncompliance existed.

pertinent data the agency gathered. The
results of this review and NHTSA’s
analysis of the petition’s merit is set
forth in the DP15–008 Evaluation
Report, appearing in the public docket
referenced in the heading of this notice.
Forest River has recalled four (4) of
the eleven (11) issues. One issue was
addressed with a Technical Service
Bulletin (TSB), five (5) were addressed
in a consent order issued July 8, 2015
and it is unlikely that an order
concerning notification and remedy of a
safety-related defect would be issued as
a result of granting Mrs. Amy Green’s
request for the one remaining issue.
Therefore, an investigation into the
issues raised by the petition does not
appear to be warranted and the petition
is denied.

Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

ACTION: Denial of petition for a defect
investigation.

National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration

AGENCY:

This notice sets forth the
reasons for the denial of a petition
submitted to NHTSA under 49 U.S.C.
30162, requesting that the agency
commence a proceeding to determine
the existence of a defect related to motor
vehicle safety in 2015 and 2016 Shasta
Airflyte recreational vehicles. After a
review of the petition and other
information, NHTSA has concluded that
all but one of the issues identified in the
petition have been addressed through
one of three other remedial actions. The
one issue not addressed by another
action was found not to represent an
unreasonable risk to motor vehicle
safety. The agency accordingly has
denied the petition. The petition is
hereinafter identified as DP15–008.

Investigation (ODI), NHTSA, 1200 New

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Federal
Register Notice with a 60-day comment
period soliciting comments on the
following information collection was
published on January 4, 2016 (81 FR
141–142).
Title: Recruitment and Debriefing of
Human Subjects for Head-Up Displays
and Distraction Potential.
OMB Control Number: None.
Type of Request: New Information
Collection.
Abstract: The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s
(NHTSA) mission is to save lives,
prevent injuries, and reduce economic
losses resulting from motor vehicle
crashes. Head-up display (HUD)
technology presents many opportunities
and challenges for mitigating driver
distraction, improving driver comfort,
and engaging drivers with their
vehicles. On one hand, the reduction of
the distance that the eyes need to travel
between a focal point on the forward
road and a focal point on an in-vehicle
display can minimize the amount of
time required to view a display relative
to a traditional Head-Down Display
(HDD). There is also an added benefit in
that peripheral roadway information can
be processed while viewing a HUD,
allowing partial support of some aspects
of vehicle control, like lane keeping. On
the other hand, humans have difficulty
simultaneously processing two visual
displays overlaid on each other.
Viewing HUDs while driving may
therefore prevent drivers from
perceiving events in the environment,
particularly centrally located hazards
such as a braking lead vehicle. There is
a concern that if drivers perceive HUDs
to be safer than HDDs that they may not
regulate the length of time they spend
looking at the HUD. The HUD may
therefore negatively alter drivers’ visual
scanning behavior. The benefits and
drawbacks of using a HUD in a vehicle
must therefore be fully investigated and
properly understood.
The proposed study will examine the
distraction potential of HUD use on
driving performance. The information
collection involves collecting eligibility
information and demographic
information. The study focuses on HUD
technologies that display information
about the state of the vehicle (e.g.,
vehicle speed, navigation information)
near the driver’s forward field of view
(e.g., projected into the lower portion of
the windshield in front of the driver).
Affected Public: Voluntary study
participants.

Number of Respondents: VTTI will
contact approximately 100 individuals
by phone and use an eligibility
questionnaire to determine their
eligibility for the study. It is estimated
that 60 of these individuals will qualify
to be enrolled into the study. The 60
individuals who will be contacted are
persons who have volunteered to take
part in driving studies in the past.
Businesses are ineligible for the sample
and will not be contacted. These 60
individuals will complete an informed
