Title: Rail Fixed Guideway Systems;
State Safety Oversight
(OMB Number: 2132–0558)
Background: FTA administers a
national program for public
transportation safety under 49 U.S.C.
Section 5329. One element of this
program, at 49 U.S.C. 5329(e), requires
States to oversee the safety of the rail
transit agencies (RTAs) in their
jurisdictions, including heavy and light
rail systems, streetcars, inclined planes,
cable cars, monorail/automated
guideways and hybrid rail. Through this
program, State Safety Oversight
Agencies (SSOAs) ensure that RTAs
identify and address safety risks, follow
their safety rules and procedures, and
take corrective action to address safety
deficiencies. This program, which only
applies to RTAs, enhances and replaces
the State Safety Oversight (SSO)
program previously authorized at 49
U.S.C. 5330.
The previously authorized program
required SSOAs to perform oversight
without Federal grant funding available.
As a result, the approved information
collection includes burden hours
associated with activities administered
by SSO agencies to collect information
from RTAs and activities performed by
RTAs to provide information to SSOAs.
FTA decided to include these burden
hours to address concerns raised by
SSOAs and RTAs regarding unfunded
Federal requirements.
With the expiration of the previously
authorized program, and the new
Federal grant program for States,
authorized at 49 U.S.C. 5329(e)(6), FTA
wishes to amend the information
collection activities to focus only on the
activities of SSOAs and RTAs to report
information to FTA. Activities included
in the previous information collection
request that are not specifically related
to FTA information collection are
removed from this information
collection request and are addressed in
the Regulatory Impact Assessment
developed for the final rule
implementing 49 U.S.C. 5329(e). This
proposed change aligns with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995, United States Office of Personnel

Management, Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) Guide, Version 2.0, 2011.
The revised information collection
request includes the annual report FTA
requires from SSOAs, the burden of
which has been reduced substantially
through the development of a web-based
system designed to replace the existing
spreadsheet-based process and provides
direct interface with the National
Transit Database. It also includes the
FTA’s grant management reporting
requirement and the triennial audit
program, which requires information
from both SSOAs and RTAs. Further,
the information collection reflects
requirements for SSOAs and RTAs to
respond to FTA directives and
advisories and SSOAs participation in
monthly teleconference calls with FTA.
Finally, the information collection
request includes RTA event
notifications to FTA.
With these changes, the total burden
hours have decreased from 586,443
hours for the previous information
collection request to 16,365 representing
an overall decrease of 570,078 hours.
Respondents: States and Rail Transit
Agencies.
Estimated Annual Number of
Respondents: 96 respondents.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
16,365 hours.
Frequency: Annually.

Management and Budget (OMB). In
compliance with those requirements,
this notice announces the following
information collection request has been
forwarded to OMB.
NHTSA published a Federal Register
notice requesting public comment on
this information collection.1 No
comments were received.
The following describes the collection
of information for which NHTSA
intends to seek OMB approval. It is
titled ‘‘Consolidated Child Restraint
System Registration, Labeling and
Defect Notifications.’’ (OMB Control
Number: 2127–0576). NHTSA’s
information collection for child restraint
systems expired April 30, 2018;
therefore, this request is a reinstatement
of a previously approved collection of
information.
Title: Consolidated Child Restraint
System Registration, Labeling and
Defect Notifications.
OMB Control Number: 2127–0576.
Type of Request: Reinstatement of a
previously approved collection of
information.
Abstract: The National Traffic and
Motor Vehicle Safety Act, now codified
at 49 U.S.C. 30111, authorizes the
issuance of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS). Moreover,
under 49 U.S.C. 30117, the Secretary is
also authorized to require manufacturers
to provide information to first
purchasers of motor vehicles or motor
vehicle equipment when the vehicle
equipment is purchased, in the form of
printed matter placed in the vehicle or
attached to the motor vehicle or motor
vehicle equipment. The Secretary is

authorized to issue, amend, and revoke
such rules and regulations as he/she
deems necessary.
Child restraint manufacturers are
required to provide an owner’s
registration card for purchasers of child
safety seats in accordance with title 49
of the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR),
Part 571.213, ‘‘Child restraint systems.’’
The registration card is perforated into
two-parts (see Figures 1 and 2). The top
part contains a message and suitable
instructions to be retained by the
purchaser. The bottom part is to be
returned to the manufacturer by the
purchaser. The bottom part includes
prepaid return postage, the pre-printed
name/address of the manufacturer, the
pre-printed model and date of
manufacture, and spaces for the
purchaser to fill in his/her name and
address. Optionally, child restraint
manufacturers are permitted to add to
the registration form: (a) Specified
statements informing CRS owners that
they may register online; (b) the internet
address for registering with the
company; (c) revisions to statements
reflecting use of the internet to register;
and (d) a space for the consumer’s email
address. For those CRS owners with
access to the internet, online registration
may be a preferred method of registering
a CRS.
In addition to the registration card
supplied by the manufacturer, NHTSA
has implemented a CRS registration
system to assist those individuals who
have either lost the registration card that
came with the CRS or purchased a
previously owned CRS. Upon the
owner’s request, NHTSA provides a
substitute registration form that can be
obtained either by mail or from the
internet 2 (see Figure 3). When the
completed registration is returned to the
agency, it is then submitted to CRS
manufacturers. In the absence of a
substitute registration system, many
owners of child passenger safety seats,
especially any second-hand owners,
might not be notified of safety defects
and noncompliances and would not
have the defects and noncompliances
remedied.
Child seat owner registration
information is retained in the event
owners need to be contacted for defect
recalls or replacement campaigns.
Chapter 301 of title 49 of the United
States Code specifies that if either
NHTSA or a manufacturer determines
that motor vehicles or items of motor
vehicle equipment contain a defect that
relates to motor vehicle safety or fails to
comply with an applicable Federal
