participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP).
EFFECTIVE DATE: The date of issuance of
the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM)
showing BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community. This date may be
obtained by contacting the office where
the FIRM is available for inspection as
indicated in the table below.
ADDRESSES: The final base flood
elevations for each community are
available for inspection at the office of
the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document responds to a
petition for reconsideration of the
August 24, 2004 final rule that amended
regulations pertaining to the
importation by registered importers
(RIs) of motor vehicles that were not
originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable Federal motor vehicle
safety, bumper, and theft prevention
standards. The agency is not adopting
the changes requested in the petition,
except for one asking the agency to
allow RIs to import motor vehicles that
have been modified to comply with the
Theft Prevention Standard and one
asking the agency to allow an imported
nonconforming motor vehicle to be
operated on public roads prior to bond
release solely for the purpose of
conducting required EPA testing. Also,
the agency has decided to eliminate the
requirement for applicants for RI status
to submit to the agency the social
security numbers of its principals.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
I. Background
A. New Information Required Under
Final Rule To Acquire and Maintain RI
Registration
On August 24, 2004, NHTSA
published (69 FR 52070) a final rule
amending the agency’s regulations that
pertain to the importation by RIs of
motor vehicles that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety,
bumper, and theft prevention standards.
The agency noted that some RIs have
engaged in conduct that, while not
expressly prohibited by the RI
regulations previously in effect, was
nevertheless in need of scrutiny. See 69
FR at 52073. To address concerns about
this conduct, the amendments require,
among other things, that RIs and
applicants for RI status submit
additional information beyond what
they had previously been required to
submit to acquire and maintain their
registrations.
One of the information items that
each RI and applicant for RI status is
required to submit under the final rule
is the social security number of each of
its principals or partners and each
person authorized to sign statements
certifying to NHTSA that vehicles the RI
has imported or modified conform to all
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
and bumper standards. As stated in the
final rule at 52074, the agency decided
to require this information so that it
could determine whether any person
associated with an applicant has ever
been convicted of a misdemeanor or
felony involving motor vehicles or the
motor vehicle business.
B. Practices Prohibited Under Final
Rule.
1. Importing Salvage or Reconstructed
Motor Vehicles
The final rule also identified and
proscribed certain practices of RIs that
were not specifically addressed by the
previously existing RI regulations
because they were not contemplated at
the time those regulations were adopted
in 1989. Among these were efforts on
the part of some RIs to import heavily
damaged motor vehicles both before and
after their repair (referred to as ‘‘salvage
vehicles’’), or vehicles comprised of the
body of one vehicle and the chassis and
frame of another (referred to as
‘‘reconstructed vehicles’’). The agency
noted that there can be no assurance
that a salvage or reconstructed motor
vehicle can be restored to a condition in
which it complies or can be brought into
compliance with the Federal motor
vehicle safety standards (FMVSS). See
69 FR at 52089. As a consequence, the
agency adopted a requirement in the
final rule (49 CFR 591.5(f)(3)) for the
importer to declare at the time of entry
that the ‘‘vehicle is not a salvage motor
vehicle or a reconstructed motor
vehicle.’’
The agency also adopted definitions
for each of these terms, which were
added to those in 49 CFR 591.4. Under
those definitions, a ‘‘reconstructed
motor vehicle means a motor vehicle
whose body is less than 25 years old
and which is mounted on a chassis or
frame that is not its original chassis or
frame and that is less than 25 years
old.’’ A ‘‘salvage motor vehicle’’ means:
A motor vehicle, whether or not
repaired, which has been:
(1) Wrecked, destroyed, or damaged, to the
extent that the total estimated or actual cost
of parts and labor to rebuild or reconstruct
the motor vehicle to its pre-accident
condition and for legal operation on the
streets, roads, or highways, exceeds 75
percent of its retail value at the time it was
wrecked, destroyed, or damaged; or
