Affected Public: All passenger car tire

that certain Type ‘‘H11 C’’ light sources
that it manufactured fail to meet the
requirements of paragraph S7.7 of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 108, Lamps, Reflective
Devices, and Associated Equipment.
OSRAM SYLVANIA has filed an
appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR
part 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports, dated
August 24, 2010.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), OSRAM SYLVANIA has
petitioned 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 OSRAM
SYLVANIA’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.
OSRAM SYLVANIA estimates that
approximately 28,412 ‘‘H11 C’’ light
sources(bulbs) that it manufactured on
June 23 and 24, 2010 are affected. All
of the affected light sources were
manufactured by OSRAM GmbH,
Industriestrasse, Herbrechtingen,
Germany.
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 allows 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.
Paragraph S7.7 of FMVSS No. 108
requires in pertinent part:
