Feds Quiz Public: Do 5-Star Car Safety Stickers Actually Make Sense?

## Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants to improve the 5-Star Safety Ratings on car window stickers by testing new ideas with consumers. They’re asking for public comments until January 5, 2026, before getting official approval to collect this info. This effort aims to make safety ratings clearer and more helpful for car buyers, with no immediate cost impact announced.

## Abstract

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. NHTSA is seeking OMB approval for a new information collection to conduct consumer research to enhance the usefulness of vehicle safety rating information and guide the potential redesign of the Government 5-Star Safety Ratings section of the Monroney label (vehicle window sticker). A Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on the following information collection was published on March 7, 2025. NHTSA received three comments.
