Reports, Forms, and Recordkeeping Requirements, 4303-4304 [E8-1131]

Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 16 / Thursday, January 24, 2008 / Notices Portal, post mile 42.7 in Mariposa County, California. The total length of the project is 0.7 mile. This project is proposing the following build alternatives: • Alternative C (Open-Cut Realignment) would realign the highway to the northeast, spanning the Merced River and bypassing the rockslide. State Route 140 would cut through the mountain across from the rockslide and then span back across the river where it would meet the existing alignment. Two bridges would be constructed to cross the river. • Alternative T (Tunnel Realignment) would realign the highway to the northeast, spanning the Merced River and bypassing the rockslide. State Route 140 would tunnel 725 feet through the mountain across from the rockslide and then span back across the river where it would meet the existing alignment. Two bridges would be constructed to cross the river. • Alternative S (Viaduct Realignment) would realign the highway to the northeast, spanning the Merced River with two bridges and bypassing the rockslide with a hillside viaduct and retaining wall. • No-Build Alternative would leave State Route 140 damaged and blocked by the Ferguson rockslide. As a result of the No-Build Alternative, the temporary detour would become the permanent State Route 140 alignment. The current vehicle length restrictions would remain in place along with the traffic signals controlling the single-lane access through the detour. The structures for the temporary detour were constructed during a declared emergency and were designed as a temporary solution to the closure of State Route 140. These structures would not meet standard design features nor would the detour meet the purpose and need of the project. Letters describing the proposed action and soliciting comments will be sent to appropriate Federal, State, Participating Agencies, the American Indian Council of Mariposa County, the Yosemite-Mono Lake Paiute Indian Community and local agencies, and to private organizations and citizens who have previously expressed or are known to have interest in this proposal. Public hearings will be held in Mariposa and El Portal, California. Public notice will be given of the time and place of the hearings. The draft EIS will be available for public and agency review and comment prior to the public hearings. An Environmental Assessment was prepared and then circulated for agency and public review on November 19, VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:35 Jan 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 2007. The circulation period was a 45day review that ended on January 3, 2008. Based on agency and public comments, Caltrans has decided to begin the preparation of an EIS. Scoping meetings and hearings were previously held during May, June, and November of 2007. The meetings and hearings were held at Mariposa and El Portal, California. To ensure that the full range of issues related to this proposed action are addressed and all significant issues identified, comments and suggestions are invited from all interested parties. Comments or questions concerning this proposed action and the EIS should be directed to Caltrans at the address provided above.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Department of Transportation (DOT). ACTION: Grant of petition for exemption. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This document grants in full the petition of Hyundai-Kia Motors Corporation (Hyundai) in accordance with § 543.9(c)(2) of 49 CFR Part 543, Exemption from the Theft Prevention Standard, for the Hyundai Genesis vehicle line beginning with model year (MY) 2009. This petition is granted because the agency has determined that the antitheft device to be placed on the line as standard equipment is likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard. Hyundai requested confidential treatment for its information and attachments submitted in support of its petition. The agency will address Hyundai’s request for confidential treatment in a separate letter. The exemption granted by this notice is effective beginning with model year (MY) 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a petition dated October 22, 2007, Hyundai-Kia America Technical Center, Inc., on behalf of Hyundai-Kia Motors (Hyundai) requested an exemption from the parts-marking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part 541) for the Hyundai Genesis vehicle line beginning with MY 2009. The petition requested an exemption from parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR Part 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, based on the installation of an antitheft device as standard equipment for an entire vehicle line. Under § 543.5(a), a manufacturer may petition NHTSA to grant an exemption for one of its vehicle lines per year. Hyundai has petitioned the agency to grant an exemption for its Genesis vehicle line beginning with MY 2009. In its petition, Hyundai provided a detailed description and diagram of the identity, design, and location of the components of the antitheft device for the Genesis vehicle line. Hyundai will install its passive antitheft device as standard equipment on the vehicle line. Features of the antitheft device will include a passive immobilizer consisting of an EMS (engine control unit), SMARTRA 3 (immobilizer unit), an antenna coil and transponder ignition keys. Additionally, the Hyundai Genesis will have a standard alarm system which will monitor all the doors, the trunk and the hood of the vehicle. The audible and visual alarms are activated when an unauthorized person attempts to enter or move the vehicle by unauthorized means. Hyundai’s submission is considered a complete petition as required by 49 CFR 543.7, in that it meets the general requirements contained in § 543.5 and the specific content requirements of § 543.6. The antitheft device to be installed on the MY 2009 Hyundai is a transponderbased electronic immobilizer system. The vehicle immobilizer device consists of the EMS, the SMARTRA 3 and ignition keys with a built-in transponder. Hyundai stated that the EMS carries out the check of the ignition key by special encryption algorithm which runs in the transponder and in the EMS in parallel. The engine can only be started if the results of the ignition key check and algorithm are equal. Hyundai stated that the device is automatically activated by removing the key from the ignition switch and locking the vehicle door. In order to arm the device, the key must be removed from E:\FR\FM\24JAN1.SGM 24JAN1
