InterModal Technologies, Inc.; Denial
of Petition for a Temporary Exemption
From Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 121
SUMMARY: This notice denies a petition
from InterModal Technologies, Inc., for
a temporary exemption from certain
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 121, Air brake
systems. The denial is based on the
petitioner’s failure to persuade the
agency that the safety device in question
provides a safety level at least equal to
that of the applicable Federal standard.
Further, it failed to articulate how the
exemption would make easier the
development or field evaluation of the
safety device for which the exemption is
being sought.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) published a
notice of receipt of the application on
July 19, 2004, and afforded an
opportunity for comment.1
