Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 44 / Wednesday, March 7, 2007 / Notices
Federal Highway Administration—
Tennessee Division Office, 640
Grassmere Park Road, Suite 112,
Nashville, TN 37211. 615–781–5772.
The
FHWA in cooperation with the
Tennessee Department of
Transportation will prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
on a proposal to upgrade the existing
roadway from State Route-64 at Bolivar
to State Route-100, a distance of
approximately 10 miles.
Alternatives to be considered include:
(1) No-build; (2) a Transportation
System Management (TSM) alternative;
(3) one or more build alternatives that
could include constructing a roadway
on a new location, upgrading existing
State Route-18, or a combination of
both, and (4) other alternatives that may
arise from public input. Public scoping
meetings will be held for the project
corridor. As part of the scoping process,
federal, state, and local agencies and
officials; private organizations; citizens;
and interest groups will have an
opportunity to identify issues of
concern and provide input on the
purpose and need for the project, range
of alternatives, methodology, and the
development of the Environmental
Impact Statement. A Coordination Plan
will be developed to include the public
in the project development process.
This plan will utilize the following
outreach efforts to provide information
and solicit input: newsletters, an
Internet Web site, e-mail and direct
mail, informational meetings and
briefings, public hearings, and other
efforts as necessary and appropriate. A
public hearing will be held upon
completion of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement and public notice will
be given of the time and place of the
hearing. The Draft EIS will be available
for public and agency review and
comment prior to the public hearings.
To ensure that the full range of issues
related to this proposed action are
identified and taken into account,
comments and suggestions are invited
from all interested parties. Comments
and questions concerning the proposed
action should be directed to the FHWA
contact person identified above at the
address provided above.

[Docket No. NHTSA 2006–26421; Notice 2]
Hankook Tire Co., Ltd.; Grant of
Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (Hankook) has
determined that certain tires that it
produced in 2005 and 2006 do not
comply with S5.5.5 of 49 CFR 571.139,
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 139, ‘‘New pneumatic
PO 00000
Frm 00182
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
10293
radial tires for light vehicles.’’ Pursuant
to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h),
Hankook has petitioned for a
determination that this noncompliance
is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety and has filed an appropriate
report pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573,
‘‘Defect and Noncompliance Reports.’’
Notice of receipt of a petition was
published, with a 30-day comment
period, on December 13, 2006, in the
Federal Register (71 FR 74995). NHTSA
received no comments.
Affected are a total of approximately
283,815 passenger car temporary spare
tires produced between January 2005
and September 2006. Although Hankook
asserted that they had certified the
subject tires to the requirements of
FMVSS No. 139, only tires
manufactured between June 26, 2003
and January 6, 2006 were permitted, at
the manufacturer’s option, to be
certified to the requirements of FMVSS
No. 139.1 See ‘‘Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards; Tires,’’ 68 FR 38116
(June 26, 2003) and 71 FR 877 (January
6, 2006). For tires manufactured after
January 6, 2006, FMVSS No. 109, ‘‘New
Pneumatic Tires’’ is the only safety
standard to which temporary spares
could be certified. Therefore, Hankook’s
petition is being processed as applying
to FMVSS No. 109 in addition to
FMVSS No. 139. In either standard, the
noncompliance issue is the same;
however, different paragraphs are
referenced for the two standards. S4.3.5
of FMVSS No. 109 and S5.5.5 of FMVSS
No. 139 require that the tires have a
sidewall marking ‘‘inflate to 420 kPa (60
psi)’’ of no less than 12.7 mm high. In
the marking on the noncompliant tires,
the letters ‘‘a’’ and ‘‘s’’ are 12.3 mm and
11.9 mm high respectively. Hankook has
corrected the problems that caused
these errors so that they will not be
repeated in future productions.
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.
NHTSA agrees with Hankook that the
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. As Hankook states,
even with the reduced size of the ‘‘a’’
and ‘‘s’’ on the sidewall marking the
user or purchaser of the tire can still
1 All temporary spares were required to be
certified to FMVSS No. 109 until June 26, 2003
when FMVSS No. 139 took effect. However, the
agency moved temporary spares back to FMVSS No.
109 after January 6, 2006 by granting a petition for
reconsideration.
