[Docket No. NHTSA–2009–0092; Notice 1]
Pilkington North America, Inc., Receipt
of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
Pilkington North America, Inc.
(Pilkington) has determined that certain
replacement rear windows that it
manufactured for 2006–2009 Honda
Civic two-door coupe passenger car do
not fully comply with paragraphs S6.2
and S6.3 of 49 CFR 571.205, Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 205 Glazing Materials. Pilkington
has filed an appropriate report pursuant
to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), Pilkington has petitioned
VerDate Nov<24>2008
15:27 May 19, 2009
Jkt 217001
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 Pilkington’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.
Pilkington estimated that 206
replacement rear windows (NAGS part
number FB22692GTY) for 2006–2009
Honda Civic two-door coupe passenger
cars are involved. Pilkington also states
that all of the subject windows were
manufactured on April 16, 2008.
Paragraphs S6.2 and S6.3 of FMVSS
No. 205 require in pertinent part:
S6.2 A prime glazing manufacturer certifies
its glazing by adding to the marks required
by section 7 of ANSI/SAE Z26.1–1996, in
letters and numerals of the same size, the
symbol ‘‘DOT’’ and a manufacturer’s code
mark that NHTSA assigns to the
manufacturer. NHTSA will assign a code
mark to a manufacturer after the
manufacturer submits a written request to the
Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance,
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, * * *
S6.3 A manufacturer or distributor who
cuts a section of glazing material to which
this standard applies, for use in a motor
vehicle or camper, must—
(a) Mark that material in accordance with
section 7 of ANSI/SAE Z26.1–1996; and
(b) Certify that its product complies with
this standard in accordance with 49 U.S.C.
30115.
Pilkington explained that the
noncompliances with FMVSS No 205
exist due to its failure to label the
replacement rear windows with the
marks required by section 7 of ANSI/
SAE Z26.1–1996, the symbol ‘‘DOT,’’
and its NHTSA assigned manufacturer
code mark.
Pilkington states that it believes that
this noncompliance is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety for three reasons.
First, the non-compliance relates solely
to product monograms or markings; the
subject rear windows meet all other
safety and performance standards.
Second, NHTSA has previously granted
other exemptions for non-compliant
product labeling. In the past, the agency
has recognized that the failure to meet
labeling requirements often is
inconsequential as to motor vehicle
safety. Third, the information contained
in these product markings is not
required in order for consumers to
operate their vehicles safely.
Pilkington stated its belief that the
noncompliance will not interfere with
any future tracing of the windows
because Pilkington is only one of three
PO 00000
Frm 00096
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
23775
manufacturers of rear windows for this
particular Honda Civic, the other two
being PGW (Pittsburgh Glass Works,
formerly known as PPG) and Auto
Temp, Inc. Given that the windows
produced by the two other
manufacturers will be properly marked,
Pilkington’s unlabeled rear windows
should easily be identified and traced,
if necessary should any future defects or
noncompliances be discovered.
Pilkington also stated its belief the
lack of a monogram is inconsequential
with respect to motor vehicle safety
because consumers do not need the
information in these monograms in
order to operate their vehicles in a safe
manner. Pilkington has tested a number
of the parts in its possession and
confirmed that they meet all other
applicable FMVSS.
Pilkington also has informed NHTSA
that it has corrected the problem that
caused these errors so that they will not
be repeated in future production.
Pilkington also notes its intent to ensure
that no additional non-compliant rear
windows are in the marketplace. In this
pursuit, Pilkington stated its intention
to write to all wholesalers and
distributors which purchased the
subject replacement parts asking them
to return to Pilkington any rear
windows lacking compliant markings.
However, Pilkington is seeking an
exemption from quarterly reporting
obligations and from any regulations
that could potentially require efforts to
contact end users or to label or mark
rear windows now in use.
In summation, Pilkington states that it
believes that the noncompliances are
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety
and that no corrective action is
warranted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance.
Interested persons are invited to
submit written data, views, and
arguments on this petition. Comments
must refer to the docket and notice
number cited at the beginning of this
notice and be submitted by any of the
following methods:
