[Docket No. NHTSA–2005–22233]
List of Nonconforming Vehicles;
Decided To Be Eligible for Importation
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document revises the list
of vehicles not originally manufactured
to conform to the Federal motor vehicle
safety standards (FMVSS) that NHTSA
has decided to be eligible for
importation. This list is contained in an
appendix to the agency’s regulations
that prescribe procedures for import
eligibility decisions. The list has been
revised to add all vehicles that NHTSA
has decided to be eligible for
importation since October 1, 2004, and
to remove all previously listed vehicles
that are now more than 25 years old and
need no longer comply with all
applicable FMVSS to be lawfully
imported. NHTSA is required by statute
to publish this list annually in the
Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49
U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle
that was not originally manufactured to
conform to all applicable FMVSS shall
be refused admission into the United
States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially
similar to a motor vehicle originally
manufactured for importation into and
sale in the United States, certified under
49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model
year as the model of the motor vehicle
to be compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS. Where there is no
substantially similar U.S.-certified
motor vehicle, 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B)
permits a nonconforming motor vehicle
to be admitted into the United States if
its safety features comply with, or are
capable of being altered to comply with,
all applicable FMVSS based on
destructive test data or such other
evidence as the Secretary of
Transportation decides to be adequate.
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1), import
eligibility decisions may be made ‘‘on
the initiative of the Secretary of
Transportation or on petition of a
manufacturer or importer registered
under [49 U.S.C. 30141(c)].’’ The
Secretary’s authority to make these
decisions has been delegated to NHTSA.
The agency publishes notice of
eligibility decisions as they are made.
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2), a list of
all vehicles for which import eligibility
decisions have been made must be
published annually in the Federal
Register. On October 1, 1996, NHTSA
added the list as an appendix to 49 CFR
Part 593, the regulations that establish
procedures for import eligibility
decisions (61 FR 51242). As described
in the notice, NHTSA took that action
to ensure that the list is more widely
disseminated to government personnel
who oversee vehicle imports and to
interested members of the public. See 61
FR 51242–43. In the notice, NHTSA
expressed its intention to annually
revise the list as published in the
appendix to include any additional
vehicles decided by the agency to be
eligible for importation since the list
was last published. See 61 FR 51243.
The agency stated that issuance of the
document announcing these revisions
will fulfill the annual publication
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2).

Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory
Planning and Review
Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory
Planning and Review’’ (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993), provides for making
determinations about whether a
regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and
therefore subject to Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) review
and to the requirements of the Executive
Order. The Order defines a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ as one that is likely
to result in a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy, a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impact of entitlements, grants, user fees,
or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in the Executive Order. This
rule will not have any of these effects
and was not reviewed under Executive
Order 12866. It is not significant within
the meaning of the DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures. The effect of
this rule is not to impose new
requirements but to provide a summary
compilation of decisions on import
eligibility that have already been made
and does not involve new decisions.
This rule will not impose any additional
burden on any person. The agency
believes that this impact is minimal and
does not warrant the preparation of a
regulatory evaluation.
B. Environmental Impacts
We have not conducted an evaluation
of the impacts of this rule under the
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule does not impose any change
that would result in any impacts to the
quality of the human environment.
Accordingly, no environmental
assessment is required.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, we have considered the impacts of
this rule on small entities (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). I certify that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact
upon a substantial number of small
entities within the context of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
