Open Meeting of the Financial Literacy and Education Commission, 24862-24863 [05-9342]

Download as PDF 24862 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 11, 2005 / Notices immediate adjacent surrounding contactable surface of any structural element of the system.’’ (Emphasis added.) Upon further review, it appears that the wall separations observed on the Subject Products may not fall within the scope of this language. Century Products’ testing showed no complete separations, no protrusions, and no contactable surfaces on the car seats that exhibited the wall separation. At Century Products’ request, NHTSA representatives met with Century Products on April 27, 2004, to discuss the additional information provided in the November 2003 Century Products appeal. The agenda for this meeting has been placed in Docket NHTSA–02– 12087. Following this meeting, Century Products conducted additional technical analyses to support the information provided in its November 2003 appeal, including (1) a Mold Flow analysis and (2) a finite element analysis of the shell portion of the subject child restraint. On July 16, 2004, Century submitted the results of these analyses to the agency. This information has also been placed in Docket NHTSA–02–12087. Based upon these further analyses, Century Products concluded in its July 16, 2004 submittal that the subject child seats are fully compliant with FMVSS No. 213, and that the shell wall separation does not constitute a noncompliance. Century Products contends that the location of the crack does not constitute a noncompliance with S5.1.1(a) of FMVSS No. 213. Century Products states in its July 16, 2004 submittal: In Century’s appeal to the denial of the Petition for Determination of Inconsequential Noncompliance, Century stated that, based upon the particular crack in the child seat, Century was uncertain whether this particular type of wall separation would constitute a noncompliance under Section S5.1.1 of FMVSS 213. Since providing the Agency with that statement, Century has carefully evaluated the nature of the crack and the applicable Standard and contends that the child seat is fully compliant. The particular provision in question is S5.1.1(a). The Standard requires that after the child restraint system has been tested, it shall meet the following requirement: ‘‘(a) Exhibit no complete separation of any load bearing structural element and no partial separation exposing either surfaces with the radius of less than 1⁄4 inch or surfaces with protrusions greater than 3/8 inch above the immediate adjacent surrounding contactable surface of any structural element of the system.’’ No one has suggested that there was a ‘‘complete separation of any load bearing structural element.’’ There has been some partial separation in the testing, and the surface in question may have a radius of less than 1⁄4 inch, but was not a ‘‘partial separation exposing * * * surfaces with a radius of less than 1⁄4 inch. * * *’’ If a partial separation existed, it was never VerDate jul<14>2003 16:48 May 10, 2005 Jkt 205001 exposed as the word is used in S5.1.1(a). The substantial pad on the seat will keep the crack from coming in contact with any part of the dummy of child. The Agency has defined ‘‘contactable surface.’’ It states: ‘‘Contactable surface means any child restraint system surface (other than that of a belt, belt buckle, or belt adjustment hardware) that may contact any part of the head or torso of the appropriate test dummy specified in S7, when a child restraint system is tested in accordance with S6.1.’’ (§ 571.213, S4) Using the definition of ‘‘contactable surface,’’ Century contends that the partial crack in the child restraint comes nowhere close to where the head or torso of the dummy would be placed. * * * If the crack is not adjacent to the position of the dummy, due to the substantial seat pad, then ‘‘sharp edges’’ cannot come in contact with the occupant. As the clearly defined crack in our case does not come near the head or torso of the appropriate test dummy, Century contends that there can be no violation of S5.1.1(a). Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments on the appeal of Century Products described above. When the appeal is granted or denied, the notice will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to 49 CFR Part 556 and the authority indicated below.
