To address these areas, NHTSA has promulgated 49 CFR part 557, Petitions for Hearings on Notification and Remedy of Defects, which adopts a uniform regulation that establishes procedures to provide for submission and disposition of petitions, and to hold hearings on the issue of whether the manufacturer has met its obligation to notify owners, distributors, and dealers of safety related defects or noncompliance and to remedy the problems by repair, repurchase, or replacement. *Affected Public:* Business or other-for-profit, individuals or households. *Estimated Total Annual Burden:* 21.

A Comment to OMB is most effective if OMB receives it within 30 days of publication. Issued in Washington, DC, on December 31, 2001. Delmas Johnson, Acting Associate Administrator for Administration.
