As a result of the limited data available to provide a more definitive cause of the accident, the NTSB recommended among other things, that the Federal Aviation Administration incorporate the European Organization for Civil Aviation Equipment’s proposed standards for a crash-protective video recording system into a TSO. We concurred with the NTSB’s recommendation, by offering proposed TSO–C176 for a crash-protective video recording system.

NHTSA received no comments. Affected are a total of approximately 50 P205/70R15 Le Mans Champion SE tires produced in 2005. S4.3.2 of FMVSS No. 109 refers to 49 CFR Part 575.4, section (d) of which requires that the sidewall stamping include the date of manufacture. The noncompliant tires are stamped HYMOLCM, while the correct stamping including the date of manufacture should be HYMOLCM2705. Bridgestone Firestone believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. Bridgestone Firestone states that ‘‘[t]he noncompliant tires meet or exceed all performance requirements of FMVSS No. 109 and will have no impact on the operational performance or safety of vehicles on which these tires are mounted.’’ The petitioner further states, The week and year of [the] production portion of the Tire Identification Number (TIN) becomes important in the event of a safety campaign so that the consumer may properly identify the recalled tire(s). For this mislabeling, any safety campaign communication, if necessary, could include in the listing of recalled TINs and (sic) the TIN for these tires with the missing or blank date of production so that the consumer would know that these mislabeled tires are included in the recall. NHTSA agrees with Bridgestone Firestone that the noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. As Bridgestone Firestone points out, a consumer notification of a recall of the PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 tires could be accomplished by referring to the TIN. Bridgestone Firestone 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, Bridgestone Firestone’s petition is granted and the petitioner is exempted from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the noncompliance.

Background

    The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) determined the 
probable cause of a recent aircraft accident to be pilot error, stating 
that the events that led to the accident were difficult for 
investigators to determine because of limited data. As a result of the 
limited data available to provide a more definitive cause of the 
accident, the NTSB recommended among other things, that the Federal 
Aviation Administration incorporate the European Organization for Civil 
Aviation Equipment's proposed standards for a crash-protective video 
recording system into a TSO. We concurred with the NTSB's 
recommendation, by offering proposed TSO-C176 for a crash-protective 
video recording system.
