SUMMARY: This document corrects the DATES and ADDRESSES sections to a
proposed rule published in the Federal Register on April 15, 2024,
regarding Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 305a Electric-
Powered Vehicles: Electric Powertrain Integrity. The proposed rule
included establishing new reporting and record retention requirements
and, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA),
NHTSA sought public comment on these new proposed information
collections. The corrections add text under the DATES and ADDRESSES
sections to include instructions for submitting comments regarding the
new information collection requirements proposed in the NPRM.
DATES: Comments should be submitted no later than June 14, 2024. In
compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, NHTSA is also seeking
comment on a new information collection. For additional information,
see the Paperwork Reduction Act section under the Rulemaking Analyses
and Notices section below. All comments relating to the information
collection requirements should be submitted to NHTSA and to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) at the address listed in the ADDRESSES

Proposed compliance date: We propose that the compliance date for
the proposed requirements be two years after the date of publication of
the final rule in the Federal Register. Small-volume manufacturers,
final-stage manufacturers, and alterers would be provided an additional

propose to permit optional early compliance with the rule. After FMVSS
No. 305a is finalized, NHTSA intends to sunset FMVSS No. 305.
