DOT Chemical PO 00000 Frm 00093 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 65969 had applied to be exempted from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301, ‘‘Motor Vehicle Safety.’’ Notice of receipt of the original petition was published on April 14, 2005, in the Federal Register (70 FR 19837). On July 18, 2005, NHTSA published a notice in the Federal Register denying DOT Chemical’s petition (70 FR 41254), stating that the petitioner had not met its burden of persuasion that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. DOT Chemical appealed, and notice of the appeal was published in the Federal Register on September 2, 2005 (70 FR 52469). NHTSA received no public comments. Affected are a total of approximately 50,000 containers of DOT 4 brake fluid, lot numbers KMF02 and KMF03, manufactured in June 2004. FMVSS No. 116 requires that, when tested as referenced in S5.1.7 ‘‘Fluidity and appearance at low temperature,’’ S5.1.9 ‘‘Water tolerance,’’ and S5.1.10 ‘‘Compatibility,’’ the brake fluid shall show no crystallization or sedimentation. The subject brake fluid shows crystallization and sedimentation when tested as referenced in S5.1.7 at ¥40°F and ¥58°F, sedimentation when tested as referenced in S5.1.9 at ¥40°F, and crystallization when tested as referenced in S5.1.10 at ¥40°F. DOT Chemical believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. DOT Chemical stated that there are fiber-like crystals in the fluid, which are borate salts, and are a natural part (no contamination) of DOT 4 brake fluid production (just fallen out of solution in some packaged goods) and have not demonstrated any flow restrictions even at extended periods of low temperatures at minus 40° F. Furthermore, when the fluid is subjected to temperatures in a normal braking system, the crystals go back into solution in some cases not to reappear at all at ambient temperatures. NHTSA reviewed the petition and determined that the noncompliance is not inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. In its denial, NHTSA noted that it granted petitions for determinations of inconsequential noncompliance of FMVSS No. 116 to Dow Corning Corporation (59 FR 52582, October 18, 1994) and to First Brands Corporation (59 FR 62776, December 6, 1994). In the case of Dow, the FMVSS No. 116 noncompliance arose from a ‘‘slush-like crystallization’’ that dispersed ‘‘under slight agitation or warming.’’ NHTSA accepted Dow’s argument that its ‘‘slush-like crystallization’’ does not E:\FR\FM\01NON1.SGM 01NON1
