National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

    Title: 49 CFR 571.218, Motorcycle Helmets (Labeling).
    OMB Number: 2127-0518.
    Type of Request: Regular.
    Abstract: FMVSS No. 218, ``Motorcycle helmets,'' requires labeling 
for each helmet by the manufacturer. The labeling ensures important 
safety information to helmet owners and enables NHTSA to identify the 
helmet manufacturer for enforcing the Standard.
    Affected Public: Motorcycle helmet manufacturers.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: The total annual cost to the 
respondents is estimated as $720,000.
    Addresses: Send comments, within 30 days, to the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, 
725 17th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, Attention NHTSA Desk 
Officer.
    Comments Are Invited On: The accuracy of the Department's estimate 
of the burden of the motorcycle helmets labeling requirement. The 
standard's labeling requirement does not require the collection of 
information by the Federal government. It only requires that the 
labeling be exhibited on each helmet as specified in the Standard.
    A comment to OMB must be received within 30 days of publication.

    Issued on: February 28, 2005.
Stephen R. Kratzke,
Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
