SUMMARY: This document announces
receipt by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a
petition for a decision that 1999–2006
Suzuki GXS1300R motorcycles that
were not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS)
are eligible for importation into the
United States because (1) they are
substantially similar to vehicles that
were originally manufactured for
importation into and sale in the United
States and that were certified by their
manufacturer as complying with the
safety standards, and (2) they are
capable of being readily altered to
conform to the standards.
DATES: The closing date for comments
on the petition is August 18, 2006.

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–3151).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured
for importation into and sale in the
United States, certified under 49 U.S.C.
30115, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be
compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
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.
US SPECS of Aberdeen, Maryland
(Registered Importer 03–321) has
petitioned NHTSA to decide whether
non-U.S. certified 1999–2006 Suzuki
GXS1300R motorcycles are eligible for
importation into the United States. The
vehicles that U.S. SPECS believes are
substantially similar are 1999–2006
Suzuki GXS1300R motorcycles that
were manufactured for importation into
and sale in the United States and were
certified by their manufacturer as
conforming to all applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it carefully
compared non-U.S. certified 1999–2006
Suzuki GXS1300R motorcycles to their
U.S. certified counterparts, and found
the vehicles to be substantially similar
with respect to compliance with most
FMVSS.
US SPECS submitted information
with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified
1999–2006 Suzuki GXS1300R
motorcycles, as originally
manufactured, conform to many FMVSS
in the same manner as their U.S.
certified counterparts, or are capable of
being readily altered to conform to those
standards.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
non-U.S. certified 1999–2006 Suzuki
GXS1300R motorcycles are identical to
their U.S. certified counterparts with
respect to compliance with Standard
Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 116 Brake Fluid,
119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles
other than Passenger Cars, and 122
Motorcycle Brake Systems.
The petitioner further contends that
the vehicles are capable of being readily
altered to meet the following standards,
in the manner indicated below:
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective
Devices and Associated Equipment:
inspection of all vehicles and
replacement of the following with U.S.model components on vehicles not
already so equipped: (a) Headlamps; (b)
tail lamps; (c) front and rear turn signal
lamps; (d) front and rear side-mounted
reflex reflectors; rear-mounted reflex
reflector; and (e) left handlebar-mounted
lighting control switch assembly.
Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors:
inspection of all vehicles and
modification or replacement of any nonU.S.-model components as necessary to
conform to this standard.
Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and
Rims for Vehicles other than Passenger
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Cars: installation of a tire information
placard.
Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls
and Displays: installation of a U.S.model speedometer, or modification of
the speedometer so that it reads in miles
per hour.
Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials:
inspection of all vehicles, and removal
of noncompliant glazing or replacement
of the glazing with U.S.-model
components on vehicles that are not
already so equipped.
Comments should refer to the docket
number and be submitted to: Docket
Management, Room PL–401, 400
Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC
20590. It is requested but not required
that 10 copies be submitted.
All comments received before the
close of business on the closing date
indicated above will be considered, and
will be available for examination in the
docket at the above address both before
and after that date. To the extent
possible, comments filed after the
closing date will also be considered.
Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal
Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and
(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8; delegations of authority
