anchorages will be installed in locations
that permit wheelchairs to be secured
where they block access to emergency
exit doors. Petitioners requested
reconsideration of the final rule’s use of
transverse vertical and horizontal planes
to define the area around the side and
rear emergency exit doors where
wheelchair anchorages may not be
located. This request is granted.
Petitioners also asked NHTSA to
reconsider the ‘‘DO NOT BLOCK’’
warning label. This request is denied.
This final rule applies to new school
buses equipped with wheelchair
securement anchorages. Nothing in this
final rule requires school buses to be so
equipped.

I. Summary of Final Rule
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, Bus
emergency exits and window retention
and release, (49 CFR 571.217), specifies
requirements for the retention of
windows other than windshields in
buses, and requirements for operating
forces, opening dimensions, and
markings for bus emergency exits. The
purpose of FMVSS No. 217 is to
minimize the likelihood of occupants
being thrown from the bus in a crash
and to provide a means of readily
accessible emergency egress.
On April 19, 2002 (67 FR 19343)(DMS
