Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 249 / Thursday, December 29, 2005 / Notices
manufactured for importation into, and
sale in, the United States, and were not
certified by their original manufacturer
(Daimler Benz), as conforming to all
applicable FMVSS, they cannot be
categorized as ‘‘substantially similar’’ to
the 2006 version for purposes of
establishing import eligibility under 49
U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A). However, the
petitioner seeks to rely on the data,
views and arguments submitted as part
of the 2002–2004 petition; proof of
conformity information that the
petitioner submitted for the first vehicle
it conformed under the 2002–2004
vehicle eligibility decision; and upon
the contention that the 2006 model
vehicles differ from the 2002–2004 and
2005 models only in that they were
manufactured as 2006 model vehicles.
G&K contends that nonconforming
2006 Smart Car Passion, Pulse, and Pure
(Coupe and Cabriolet) passenger cars,
manufactured prior to September 1,
2006, are eligible for importation under
49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they
have safety features that comply with, or
are capable of being altered to comply
with, all applicable FMVSS.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
2006 Smart Car Passion, Pulse, and Pure
(Coupe and Cabriolet) passenger cars
have safety features that comply with

Components, 207 Seating Systems, 210
Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages, 212
Windshield Retention, 216 Roof Crush
Resistance, and 219 Windshield Zone
Intrusion.
Petitioner further contends that the
vehicles are capable of being altered to
meet the following standards, in the
manner indicated:
Standard No. 101 Controls and
Displays: (a) Inscription of the word
‘‘Brake’’ and a seat belt warning symbol
on the dash; and (b) modification of the
speedometer to read in miles per hour.
Standard No. 102 Transmission Shift
Lever Sequence: Inscription of shift
sequence markings on the instrument
cluster.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS, and has no
substantially similar U.S.-certified
counterpart, shall be refused admission
into the United States unless NHTSA
has decided that the motor vehicle has
safety features that comply with, or are
capable of being altered to comply with,
all applicable FMVSS based on
destructive test data or such other
evidence as NHTSA decides to be
adequate.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
Gifford Bobcat Sales of Millville, New
Jersey (‘‘GBS’’) (Registered Importer 04–
333) has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether 2005 Heku 750kg boat trailers
that were not originally manufactured to
conform to all applicable FMVSS are
VerDate Aug<31>2005

eligible for importation into the United
States. GBS contends that these vehicles
are eligible for importation under 49
U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they have
safety features that comply with, or are
capable of being altered to comply with,
all applicable Federal motor vehicle
safety standards. GBS submitted
information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that 2005 Heku 750kg boat
trailers, as originally manufactured,
comply with one applicable FMVSS and
are capable of being modified to comply
with all other applicable standards to
which they were not originally
manufactured to conform.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
2005 Heku 750kg boat trailers have
safety features that comply with
Standard No. 119 New Pneumatic Tires
for Vehicles Other than Passenger Cars.
Petitioner also contends that the
vehicles are capable of being altered to
meet the following standards, in the
manner indicated:
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective
Devices and Associated Equipment:
installation of reflective devices.
Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and
Rims for Motor Vehicles Other than
Passenger Cars: installation of a tire
information placard.
The agency notes that the subject
trailers are not equipped with braking
systems. As a consequence, there is no
need for the petition to discuss the
vehicle’s compliance with any of the
brake standards that apply to trailers
that are so equipped.
Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on the petition
described above. Comments should refer
to the docket number and be submitted
to: Docket Management, Room PL–401,
400 Seventh St., SW, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS, and has no
substantially similar U.S.-certified counterpart, shall be refused
admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that the
motor vehicle has safety features that comply with, or are capable of
being altered to comply with, all applicable FMVSS based on destructive
test data or such other evidence as NHTSA decides to be adequate.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR Part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
Gifford Bobcat Sales of Millville, New Jersey (``GBS'') (Registered
Importer 04-333) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether 2005 Heku 750kg
boat trailers that were not originally manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS are eligible for importation into the United States.
GBS contends that these vehicles are eligible for importation under 49
U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they have safety features that comply
with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable
Federal motor vehicle safety standards. GBS submitted information with
its petition intended to demonstrate that 2005 Heku 750kg boat
trailers, as originally manufactured, comply with one applicable FMVSS
and are capable of being modified to comply with all other applicable
standards to which they were not originally manufactured to conform.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that 2005 Heku 750kg boat
trailers have safety features that comply with Standard No. 119 New
Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles Other than Passenger Cars.
Petitioner also contends that the vehicles are capable of being
altered to meet the following standards, in the manner indicated:
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: installation of reflective devices.
Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other
than Passenger Cars: installation of a tire information placard.
The agency notes that the subject trailers are not equipped with
braking systems. As a consequence, there is no need for the petition to
discuss the vehicle's compliance with any of the brake standards that
apply to trailers that are so equipped.
