Bridgestone/Firestone North America
Tire, LLC (BFNT) has determined that
approximately 1,228 P235/75R15
Peerless AMBASSADOR tires do not
meet the labeling requirement mandated
by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 109, ‘‘New
Pneumatic Tires.’’
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h), BFNT has petitioned for a
determination that this noncompliance
is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety and has filed an appropriate
report pursuant to 49 CFR part 573,
‘‘Defect and Noncompliance Reports.’’
Notice of receipt of the application was
published, with a 30-day comment
period, on August 19, 2003, in the
PO 00000
Frm 00115
Fmt 4703

Federal Register (68 FR 49841). NHTSA
received no comment on this
application.
BFNT’s Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
plant produced approximately 1,228
tires with incorrect markings during the
U.S. Department of Transportation’s
weeks of 17, 18, and 19 in 2003 (from
April 20, 2003 through May 10, 2003).
The tires were marked: ‘‘Tread Plies: 1
Polyester + 2 Steel + 1 Polyamide,
Sidewall Plies: 1 Polyester.’’ The correct
marking required by FMVSS No. 109 is
‘‘Tread Plies: 2 Polyester + 2 Steel + 1
Polyamide, Sidewall Plies: 2 Polyester.’’
The labeling requirements of FMVSS
No. 109, New Pneumatic Tires, S4.3,
paragraphs (d) and (e), mandate that
each tire have permanently molded into
or onto both sidewalls the actual
number of plies in the sidewall, and the
actual number of plies in the tread area,
if different. Also, each tire must be
labeled with the generic name of each
cord material used in the sidewall and
tread.
BFNT argues that the noncompliance
described herein is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. The noncompliant
subject tires were constructed with more
tread plies than indicated on the
sidewall marking (two instead of one).
BFNT states that this noncompliance is
unlikely to have an adverse impact on
motor vehicle safety since the actual
construction of the subject tires is more
robust than that identified on the
sidewall. The noncompliant tires meet
or exceed all performance requirements
of FMVSS No. 109 and, the
noncompliance will have no impact on
the operational performance or safety of
vehicles on which these tires are
mounted.
The Transportation Recall,
Enhancement, Accountability, and
Documentation (TREAD) Act (Pub. L.
106–414) required, among other things,
that the agency initiate rulemaking to
improve tire label information. In
response, the agency published an
Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (ANPRM) in the Federal
Register on December 1, 2000 (65 FR
75222). The agency received more than
20 comments on the tire labeling
information required by 49 CFR
Sections 571.109 and 119, part 567, part
574, and part 575. With regard to the
tire construction labeling requirements
of FMVSS 109, S4.3, paragraphs (d) and
(e), most commenters indicated that the
information was of little or no safety
value to consumers. However, according
to the comments, when tires are
processed for retreading or repairing, it
is important for the retreader or repair
technician to understand the make-up of
the tires and the types of plies. This
