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 importation into and 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.
Wallace Environmental Testing
Laboratories, Inc. of Houston, Texas
(WETL) (Registered Importer 90–005)
has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming Mexican
market 2007 Dodge Durango MPV’s are
eligible for importation into the United
States. The vehicles which WETL
believes are substantially similar are
2007 Dodge Durango MPV’s that were
manufactured for sale in the United
States and certified by their
manufacturer as conforming to all
applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it carefully
compared non-U.S. certified Mexican
market 2007 Dodge Durango MPV’s to
their U.S.-certified counterparts, and
found the vehicles to be substantially
similar with respect to compliance with
most FMVSS.
WETL submitted information with its
petition intended to demonstrate that
non-U.S. certified Mexican market 2007
Dodge Durango MPV’s, 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 Mexican market 2007
Dodge Durango MPV’s are identical to
their U.S.-certified counterparts with
respect to compliance with Standard
Nos. 102 Transmission Shift Lever

Petitioner also contends that the

in the manner indicated:
Standard No. 101 Controls and
Displays: inscription of the word ‘‘brake’’
on the instrument cluster in place of the
international ECE warning symbol.

vehicles and installation of U.S.-model
child restraint anchorage system
components on vehicles not already so

The petitioner additionally states that
a vehicle identification plate must be
affixed to the vehicles near the left
windshield post to meet the
requirements of 49 CFR Part 565.
All comments received before the
close of business on the closing date
indicated above will be considered, and
will be available for examination in the
