Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Request for Comment; Older Novice Driver Study

In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) summarized below will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected burden. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to conduct a new information collection, Older Novice Driver Study. This study aims to examine the driving performance and behavior of younger (less than age 17) and older (ages 18 to 20) novice drivers during their first year of unsupervised driving to inform the feasibility of developing Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) provisions that apply to older novice drivers. This study will also examine the driving performance and behavior of novices who are consistently at higher- or lower-risk during this period to inform the development of other behavioral countermeasures like training, education, and messaging. A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on May 26, 2026. NHTSA did not receive any comments on the proposed information collection.

Receipt of Petitions for Renewal of Temporary Exemptions From Shoulder Belt Requirement for Side-Facing Seats on Motorcoaches

NHTSA has received identical petitions from 13 final-stage manufacturers of "entertainer-type motorcoaches," seeking renewal of temporary exemptions from a shoulder belt requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant crash protection," for side-facing seats on motorcoaches. The petitioners seek to renew their exemptions that allow them to install Type 1 seat belts (lap belt only) at side-facing seating positions, instead of Type 2 seat belts (lap and shoulder belts) required by FMVSS No. 208. Each petitioner states that, absent the requested exemption, it will otherwise be unable to sell a vehicle whose overall level of safety or impact protection is at least equal to that of a nonexempted vehicle. NHTSA is publishing this document to notify the public of the receipt of the petitions and to request comment on them, in accordance with statutory and administrative provisions.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Notice and Request for Comment; Consumer Complaint Information

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) invites public comment on our intent to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to reinstate a previously approved information collection. Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of previously approved information collections. This document describes a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on information gathered through consumer complaints.

Eliminating Obsolete Regulations Related to the 911 Grant Program

In this action, NTIA and NHTSA are removing regulations related to the 911 Grant Program because the program is no longer active and there have been no new appropriations to revive or extend it. This removal is intended to eliminate obsolete regulatory language, ensure that the Code of Federal Regulations is accurate and up-to-date, and minimize the risk of confusion regarding the availability of grant funds.
