This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13045, entitled Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because this is not an
economically significant regulatory

This proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001), because this action is not
expected to affect energy supply,

action is not a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
In addition, since this action does not

(1) The chemical substance identified as
cobalt lithium manganese nickel oxide
(PMN P–04–269; CAS No. 182442–95–1)
is subject to reporting under this section
for the significant new uses described in
paragraph (a)(2) of this section. The
requirements of this section do not
apply to quantities of the PMN
substance after it has been completely
reacted (cured).
(2) The significant new uses are:
(i) Protection in the workplace.
Requirements as specified in § 721.63
(a)(1), (a)(2)(i), (a)(3), (a)(4), (a)(5), (a)(6),

protection factor (APF) of at least 150.
The following NIOSH-approved
respirators meet the requirements of
§ 721.63(a)(4): Supplied-air respirator
operated in pressure demand or other
positive pressure mode and equipped
with a tight-fitting full facepiece. As an
alternative to the respirator
requirements listed here, a
manufacturer, importer, or processor
may choose to follow the New Chemical
Exposure Limit (NCEL) provisions listed
in the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) section 5(e) consent order for
this substance. The NCEL is 0.1 mg/m3
as an 8–hour time-weighted average.
Persons who wish to pursue NCELs as
an alternative to the § 721.63 respirator
may request to do so under § 721.30.
Persons whose § 721.30 requests to use
the NCELs approach are approved by
EPA will receive NCELs provisions
comparable to those listed in the
corresponding section 5(e) consent
order.
(ii) Hazard communication program.
Requirements as specified in § 721.72
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) (concentration set at
0.1 percent), (f), (g)(1)(i), (g)(1)(ii),

AGENCY:
This document announces the
availability of the Final Vehicle Safety
Rulemaking and Research Priority Plan
2010–2013 (Priority Plan) in Docket No.
NHTSA–2009–0108. This Priority Plan
is an update to the Final Vehicle Safety
Rulemaking and Research Priority Plan
2009–2011 (October 2009 Plan) that was
announced in the November 9, 2009,
version of the Federal Register (74 FR

SUMMARY:
On
November 9, 2009, NHTSA published a
Final Notice in the Federal Register (74
FR 57623) announcing the availability
of the October 2009 Plan. Today’s
document announces the availability of
the Final Vehicle Safety Rulemaking
and Research Priority Plan 2010–2013.
This plan is an internal management
tool as well as a means to communicate
to the public NHTSA’s highest priorities
to meet the Nation’s motor vehicle
safety challenges. Among them are
programs and projects involving
rollover crashes, children (both inside
as well as just near vehicles),
motorcoaches and fuel economy that
must meet Congressional mandates or
Secretarial commitments. Since these
are expected to consume a significant
portion of the agency’s rulemaking
resources, they affect the schedules of
the agency’s other priorities listed in
this plan. This plan lists the programs
and projects the agency anticipates
working on even though there may not
be a rulemaking planned to be issued by
2013, and in several cases, the agency
doesn’t anticipate that the research will
be done by the end of 2013. Thus, in
some cases the next step would be an
agency decision in 2013 or 2014.

NHTSA is also currently in the process
of developing a longer-term motor
vehicle safety strategic plan that would
encompass the period 2014 to 2020.
That strategic plan will be announced in
a separate Federal Register notice.
For purposes of apprising the public
on the status of progress relative to the
efforts delineated in the October 2009
Plan, NHTSA has included in the
current Priority Plan a section (Section
V) that compares the October 2009 Plan
to the current Priority Plan.
In summary of that section, there were
56 projects in the October 2009 Plan and
there are 56 projects in the current
Priority Plan. Combining the two plans,
there were 66 separate actions. Of the 56
projects in the October 2009 Plan, 25
were priority projects and 31 were other
significant projects. Of the 56 projects in
the current Priority Plan, there are 23
priority projects and 33 other significant
projects.

Jkt 223001
Of the 25 priority projects in the
October 2009 Plan, the schedule for one
was moved forward, two were
completed with final rules, one had a
final rule issued but more work is
continuing, seven project deadlines
were met (typically issuing an NPRM),
progress has been made on an
additional 10 projects and they are still
on schedule, and four projects are
behind the original schedule. There are
three new priority projects added for the
current Priority Plan.
Of the 31 ‘‘other significant projects’’
in the October 2009 Plan, one was
moved forward, one was completed
with a final rule, an agency decision
was made on three projects, progress
has been made on 11 projects and they
are still on schedule, 12 are behind
schedule, and three were dropped from
the plan because the agency determined
that they no longer reached a priority
level of being an ‘‘other significant
project’’. Seven new ‘‘other significant
