NHTSA Seeks Comments on Car Parts Labeling Rules

## Summary

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) wants to update and restart a rule that helps car makers label where their car parts come from. This change means more manufacturers will report, which adds some extra paperwork time each year. If you’re a car maker or just curious, you can share your thoughts by August 10, 2026—no cost, just your voice!

## Abstract

NHTSA invites public comments about our intention to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a reinstatement with modification of 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 collections. This document describes a collection of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on Labeling and Reporting Requirements for 49 CFR part 583--Automobile Parts Content Labeling Under the American Automobile Labeling Act. This request for reinstatement includes a modification to the number of manufacturers that increases the total annual burden hours.
