This notice of receipt of Cooper’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. Cooper produced approximately 3,070 Cooper brand tires during the period from January 30, 2005 through May 21, 2005 that do not comply with FMVSS No. 109, S4.3(e). S4.3(e) of FMVSS No. 109 requires that ‘‘each tire shall have permanently molded into or onto both sidewalls * * * (e) Actual number of plies in the sidewall, and the actual number of plies in the tread area if different.’’ The noncompliant tires were marked ‘‘tread 1 ply nylon + 2 ply steel + 1 ply polyester; sidewall 2 ply polyester.’’ The correct marking should read ‘‘tread 1 ply nylon, 2 ply steel + 2 ply polyester; sidewall 2 ply polyester.’’ Cooper believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. Cooper states that ‘‘the incorrect number of tread plies on each tire does not present a safety-related defect. The subject tires, VerDate jul<14>2003 17:05 Jul 28, 2005 Jkt 205001 in fact, have 2 polyester tread plies.’’ Cooper states that the tires comply with all other requirements of FMVSS No. 119.

This notice of receipt of Cooper’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. Affected are a total of approximately 2,606 Cooper Discoverer AST II tires in the 265/70R16 size, produced between October 10, 2004 and April 16, 2005. S4.3, Labeling requirements, requires compliance with 49 CFR part 574.5, ‘‘Tire Identification and Record Keeping, Tire Identification Requirements.’’ The size designation required by part 574.5 was incorrectly marked on the subject tires, which were molded with the letters ‘‘TY’’ as the second grouping of symbols in the tire identification number. The correct stamping should have been ‘‘C2.’’ Cooper believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. Cooper states that the purpose of the tire identification number marking requirements is to facilitate the ability of the tire manufacturer to identify the tires in the event of a recall. Cooper asserts that the incorrect size designation in this case does not affect the ability to identify defective or nonconforming tires. Cooper points out that the tire size is correctly stamped on the sidewalls of the subject tires, and states that the tires comply with all other requirements of FMVSS No. 109 and 49 CFR 574.5. Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and arguments on the petition described E:\FR\FM\29JYN1.SGM 29JYN1
