Jkt 238001
Van Hool N.V. (Van Hool),
has determined that certain model year
(MY) 2015–2016 Van Hool Double Deck
buses do not fully comply with
paragraph S5.3.4 of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
121, Air Brake Systems. Van Hool filed
a report dated November 6, 2015,
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports. Van Hool then petitioned
NHTSA under 49 CFR part 556
requesting a decision that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
ADDRESSES: For further information on
this decision contact James Jones, Office
of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), telephone
(202) 366–5294, facsimile (202) 366–
5930.
SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Overview
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), Van Hool submitted a
petition for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that
this noncompliance is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety.
Notice of receipt of Van Hool’s
petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on January 22,
2016 in the Federal Register (81 FR
3861). No comments were received. To

V. Summary of Van Hool’s Petition
Van Hool described the subject
noncompliance and stated its belief that
the noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety based on the
following reasoning:
(1) Based on the results of testing that
Van Hool conducted on some of the
affected buses, it determined that the
brake release times, on average,
exceeded the FMVSS No. 121
requirement by only 0.03 of a second on
the front axle, by 0.05 of as second on
the tag axle, and by 0.10 of a second on
the drive axle.
(2) Van Hool determined that this
noncompliance may be due to the
change of fitting for this type of vehicle.
These new fittings for the Double Deck
buses were introduced in production in
September 2014. The classic brass
couplings were replaced with push-in
tube connections made of composite
material to remedy certain complaints of
air loss. The effect of minimal loss of
internal air flow was misjudged, which
caused the brake release time to exceed
the requirements.
However, Van Hool believes that there
is no safety issue, nor unnecessary brake
drag during acceleration after brake
release due to the reaction time of the
driver (moving foot from brake pedal to
throttle pedal) and the reaction time of
the complete driveline being longer than
the brake release time.
(3) Van Hool stated its belief that
because the brake actuation time on the
