Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 101 / Wednesday, May 25, 2011 / Notices
model year after MY 1996. The final
rule became effective September 1,
2006.
Prior to September 1, 2006,
manufacturers were only allowed to
petition NHTSA for high-theft vehicles
lines. In its April 6, 2004 final rule, the
agency amended part 543 to allow
vehicle manufacturers to file petitions to
exempt all vehicle lines that would
become subject to parts-marking
requirements beginning with the
effective date of the final rule. As a
result of this amendment, vehicle
manufacturers are allowed to file
petitions to exempt all vehicle lines that
would become subject to the partsmarking requirements regardless of their
theft status (high or low).
There are approximately 27 vehicle
manufacturers that could request an
exemption (one exemption per
manufacturer per model year), although
23 petitions for exemption from the
parts-marking requirements were
received by the agency for MYs 2011–
2013. This is an average of
approximately 8 responses per year.
NHTSA anticipates that this will remain
the average number of yearly responses
that will be received by the agency.
NHTSA estimates that the average
hours per submittal will be 226, for a
total annual burden of 1,808. This is a
decrease from the previous OMB
inventory of 3,164 hours. NHTSA
estimates that the cost associated with
the burden hours is $36.62 per hour, for
a total cost of approximately $66,209.
Affected Public: Motor vehicle
manufacturers.
Estimated Total Annual Burden:
NHTSA estimates that the vehicle
manufacturers will incur a total annual
reporting hour and cost burden of 1,808
hours and $66,209. There would be no
additional cost to motor vehicle
manufacturers that would require it to
comply to this regulation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured
for sale in the United States, certified
under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor
vehicle to be compared, and is capable
of being readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
US SPECS, LLC (‘‘US SPECS’’), of
Havre de Grace, Maryland (Registered

to decide whether non-U.S. certified
2007–2011 Suzuki GSX1300R
motorcycles are eligible for importation
into the United States. The vehicles that
US SPECS believes are substantially
similar are 2007–2011 Suzuki

2007–2011 Suzuki GSX1300R
motorcycles, as originally
manufactured, conform to many FMVSS
in the same manner as their U.S.
certified counterparts, or are capable of
being readily altered to conform to those
standards.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
non-U.S. certified 2007–2011 Suzuki
GSX1300R motorcycles are identical to
their U.S. certified counterparts with
respect to compliance with Standard
Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 116 Brake Fluid,
119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles
other than Passenger Cars, and 122
Motorcycle Brake Systems.
The petitioner further contends that
the vehicles are capable of being readily
altered to meet the following standards,
in the manner indicated below:

requirements of this standard on
vehicles that are not already so
equipped.
Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials:
inspection of all vehicles, and removal
of noncompliant glazing or replacement
of the glazing with U.S.-certified
components on vehicles that are not
already so equipped.
