Britax concludes that the open top
tether hook is inconsequential to the
system working. Britax states, ‘‘The
biomechanical results and performance
of the other structural components of
the Marathon prove that the system
[emphasis in original] does what is it
intended to do—that is, save children’s
lives.’’

[Docket No. NHTSA–2006–26423; Notice 1]
Hankook Tire Company, Ltd., Receipt
of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (Hankook) has
determined that certain tires that it
produced in 2001 through 2006 do not
comply with S5.5(h) of 49 CFR 571.139,
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 139, ‘‘New pneumatic
radial tires for light vehicles.’’ Hankook
has filed an appropriate report pursuant
to 49 CFR Part 573, ‘‘Defect and
Noncompliance Reports.’’
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h), Hankook has petitioned for an
exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
This notice of receipt of Hankook’s
petition is published under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120 and does not represent
any agency decision or other exercise of
judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.
Affected are a total of approximately
99,620 passenger car temporary spare
tires produced between January 2001
and September 2006. S5.5(h) of FMVSS
No. 139 requires that the tires have a
sidewall marking ‘‘radial’’ if the tire is
a radial ply tire. These tires lack the
word ‘‘radial’’ in the sidewall marking.
Hankook has corrected the problem that
caused these errors so that they will not
be repeated in future production.
Hankook believes that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety and that no
corrective action is warranted. Hankook
states that the noncompliance ‘‘affects
consumer information only and does
not affect safety of the tires.’’ Hankook
further states that the tires comply with
all other FMVSS requirements.
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments on this petition. Comments
