Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 195 / Tuesday, October 11, 2005 / Notices diameter of a plastic tube as opposed to the inside diameter. Eaton points out that if the end user was to assume that the measurement referred to the inside diameter because of the absence of the letters OD, it ‘‘would be physically impossible, for example, to insert a 1⁄2 inch inside diameter hose into an end fitting made for 1⁄2 inch outside diameter plastic tubing.’’ According to Eaton, ‘‘if an end-user were to mistakenly attempt to use the mislabeled end fittings with a hose, instead of plastic tubing, the incompatibility would be obvious because the diameters would not match.’’ Eaton states that therefore, ‘‘there is no potential that the mislabeled end fittings could be used improperly, and there could be no resulting issue of motor vehicle safety.’’ NHTSA agrees with Eaton that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Should someone mistakenly assume the outside diameter size marking was an inside diameter size marking, it would be physically impossible to mismatch the hose and the end fitting. Therefore a safety issue would not arise from this noncompliance. Eaton has corrected the problem. In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that the petitioner has met its burden of persuasion that the noncompliance described is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, Eaton’s petition is granted and the petitioner is exempted from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the noncompliance.
