These labeling requirements cover brake fluid warnings, glazing labeling, air bag warnings, seat belt labeling, and fuel container labels for compressed natural gas and hydrogen vehicles. The collection will be modified to include three existing label requirements not previously included and two recently established labeling requirements under 49 CFR parts 571.208, 303, 304, 307, and 308.
