ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: SUMMARY: Our regulation for tire identification and recordkeeping VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:55 Jan 23, 2008 Jkt 214001 requires manufacturer owned tire distributors and dealers to register the names and addresses of the people to whom they sell or lease new tires, and specifies the use of standardized paper forms for this purpose. It also requires independent distributors and dealers to provide purchasers with standardized registration forms they can complete and mail to the manufacturer or its designee. We propose to amend the regulation by codifying existing interpretations regarding opportunities under the regulation for electronic registration of tire sales and leases and by creating new opportunities. The names and addresses of purchasers and lessees are used by a tire manufacturer to contact those people in the event that the manufacturer must conduct a campaign to recall and remedy tires that either fail to comply with an applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standard or have a safety-related defect.

1, 2007 to January 31, 2008 appeal period associated with the withdrawn
