This notice denies the petition of Pagani Automobili SpA (Pagani)\1\ for exemption from certain advanced air bag requirements of FMVSS No. 208, for the Huayra model.\2\ The basis for the application is that the petitioner avers compliance would cause substantial economic hardship and that it has tried in good faith to comply with the standard.\3\ The agency has determined that Pagani has failed to demonstrate that compliance would cause substantial economic hardship.
