AGENCY:
This final rule updates and
consolidates all of the references to the
many standards and practices that are
incorporated by reference into the
Federal motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSSs). Although this part already
contains a section regarding
publications incorporated by reference,
SUMMARY:

the list in that section is incomplete and
has not been updated regularly. Instead,
in many cases, materials have been
incorporated piecemeal into individual
FMVSSs. This final rule moves those
scattered references into the centralized
list so that it contains all of the
references. Additionally, this final rule
removes one obsolete FMVSS, No. 208a,
as well as various obsolete provisions in
other FMVSSs. Those provisions are
applicable to vehicles and equipment
manufactured before dates that have
already passed and are no longer needed
in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR).
DATES: The effective date of this final
rule is February 6, 2012, except for the
amendments to 49 CFR 571.108, which
are effective December 1, 2012. The
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the rule is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of February 6, 2012. The
incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in 49 CFR 571.108 is
approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of December 1, 2012.
Petitions for reconsideration must be
received by February 21, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR
Part 51, when NHTSA wishes to
incorporate the standards and practices
of other standardizing bodies into its
FMVSSs, it may incorporate those
materials by reference instead of
reproducing them verbatim in the
FMVSS. It must, however, obtain the
approval of the Director of the Federal
Register for each such incorporation.
This final rule updates and consolidates
all of the references to the many
standards and practices that are
incorporated by reference into the
FMVSSs in Part 571. Although this part
already contains a section devoted to
materials incorporated by reference,
§ 571.5, Matter Incorporated by
Reference, the list is incomplete in that
section and has not been updated
regularly. Instead, in many cases,
materials have been incorporated
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
751
piecemeal into individual FMVSSs
throughout Part 571.
This final rule moves those scattered
references into the centralized list and
moves the individual ‘‘incorporation by
reference’’ paragraphs contained in
some of the sections of Part 571 into
§ 571.5 so that all of the incorporations
appear in one location in that part.
Additionally, we are revising other
paragraphs in the sections of Part 571 in
order to include citations to § 571.5
when incorporated materials are
referenced and to correct grammatical
errors. This rule does not substantively
alter or remove from Part 571 any of the
existing incorporations by reference,
except for those publications that are
only referenced in the obsolete standard
and provisions that, as discussed below,
are being removed from the CFR.
However, this rule does make minor
textual changes to the citations to the
publications incorporated by reference.
Specifically, this rule standardizes the
format used to reference the various
materials incorporated by reference and
makes minor corrections to reflect the
accurate titles of these materials.
Additionally this rule incorporates the
most recently reapproved versions of
several ASTM International standards.1
These versions are identical to the
versions of the standards currently
incorporated by reference. This rule also
amends the title of the American
Association of Textile Chemists and
Colorists (AATCC) ‘‘Geometric Gray
Scale,’’ referenced in FMVSS Nos. 209
and 213, to its current title, ‘‘Gray Scale
for Evaluating Change in Color.’’ 2 These
amendments do not alter the substance
of any of the sections of Part 571 nor do
they alter the requirements of the
FMVSSs contained therein.
In addition to consolidating the list of
materials incorporated by reference, this
rule amends § 571.5 to include updated
language regarding how the public may
obtain copies of the incorporated
materials, including new procedures for
1 These standards are ASTM E1337–90 and
ASTM E1136–93. Various reapproval years are cited
in the FMVSSs in which these two standards are
referenced. Additionally, several FMVSSs
inadvertently omit the version designation in the
citations to ASTM E1136–93. This document
incorporates by reference ASTM E1337–90
(Reapproved 2008), and ASTM E1136–93
(Reapproved 2003). When ASTM International
reapproves a standard, it merely renews the
standard as is and makes no revisions. These
versions are identical to those currently referenced
in the various sections of Part 571.
2 Grades 1 through 5 on the scale, including No.
2, which is the only grade referenced in the
FMVSSs, have not been changed since the scale was
adopted in 1954. The only substantive change since
that time is the addition of half-grades (e.g., 1–2, 2–
3). However, this change does not alter the
requirements of the FMVSSs that incorporate the
scale.

752
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 4 / Friday, January 6, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
retrieving materials from the National
Archives and Records Administration
and a new format indicating the sections
where incorporated materials are
referenced. Today’s document also
updates the contact information for all
sources of the incorporated materials,
including phone numbers and Web
sites, where possible, to assist members
of the public in acquiring the
incorporated materials.
As indicated in the DATES section
above, the amendments to FMVSS No.
108 (§ 571.108) are not effective until
December 1, 2012. The reason for this
delay is that on December 4, 2007,
NHTSA published a final rule amending
FMVSS No. 108 (72 FR 68234). The
purpose of the 2007 rule was to
reorganize the standard and provide a
more straightforward and logical
presentation of the applicable regulatory
requirements. In response to several
petitions for reconsideration, the agency
delayed the effective date of the 2007
rule until December 1, 2012 (73 FR
50730; 74 FR 58213). Accordingly, the
technical amendments made to the
amended version of FMVSS No. 108 by
today’s final rule are likewise not
effective until December 1, 2012.
Additionally, the agency notes that the
updated table of incorporated materials
created by this document in § 571.5 only
includes the publications referenced by
the amended version of FMVSS No. 108,
and does not include all of the
publications cited in the version of the
standard currently in effect. However,
this final rule does not substantively
alter or remove any of the references to
the incorporated materials in the
version of FMVSS No. 108 currently in
effect.
This final rule removes the text of one
obsolete FMVSS, No. 208a (571.208a).
FMVSS No. 208a only applies to
vehicles manufactured between January
27, 2004, and August 31, 2004. Given
the limited period of applicability of
this FMVSS and the fact that those dates
are well in the past, this standard is no
longer needed in the text of the CFR.
This final rule also removes references
to FMVSS No. 208a contained in other
FMVSSs.
Likewise, this final rule removes
outdated provisions contained in other
FMVSSs. These provisions are
applicable to vehicles and equipment
manufactured before dates that have
already passed. Accordingly, like
FMVSS No. 208a, these provisions are
no longer needed in the text of the CFR.
Finally, this final rule makes two
technical amendments to Part 571 to
correct inaccurate references. First, the
authority citation of Part 571 incorrectly
cites 49 U.S.C. 30177. This section does
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:39 Jan 05, 2012
Jkt 226001
not exist. The correct citation is 49
U.S.C. 30117. Second, paragraph S7.2.1
of FMVSS No. 202a incorrectly
references paragraph S6.1 of that
standard. Paragraph S7.2.1 describes the
calculation of annual vehicle
production for the purposes of the
September 1, 2010, to September 1,
2011, phase-in of the rear seat
requirements of the new standard.
However, paragraph S7.2.1 references
S6.1, which describes the percentage of
vehicles manufactured between
September 1, 2009, and September 1,
2010, that must comply with the new
standard as opposed to the old standard.
The correct reference is paragraph S7.1,
which describes the percentage of
vehicles manufactured between
September 1, 2010, and September 1,
2011, that must comply with the rear
seat requirements of the new standard.
II. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) provides
that when an agency, for good cause,
finds that notice and public procedure
are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest, the
agency may issue a final rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for
public comment (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)).
NHTSA has determined that there is
good cause for making these technical
amendments final without notice and an
opportunity for public comment. These
amendments consolidate the references
to materials currently incorporated by
reference in the individual sections of
Part 571 and correct the syntax of the
references to these publications within
each section. The amendments also
correct grammatical errors and incorrect
references in Part 571. Finally, the
amendments delete the text of one
obsolete FMVSS as well as various
obsolete provisions in other sections of
Part 571. The amendments do not alter
the substance of the amended sections
nor do they alter the requirements of the
FMVSSs contained therein.
Accordingly, notice and public
comment are unnecessary.
We are making the amendments
effective 30 days after publication of
this document, with the exception of the
amendments to FMVSS No. 108, which
are effective December 1, 2012. Given
that the amendments do not make any
substantive changes, we find good cause
for making the amendments effective
within this timeframe.
The agency has discussed the relevant
requirements of Executive Order 12866,
Executive Order 13563, DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures, the National
Environmental Policy Act, the
Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive

by these amendments.

(k) Performance of retractor. After
completion of the corrosion-resistance
test described in paragraph (a) of this
section, the webbing shall be fully
extended and allowed to dry for at least
24 hours under standard laboratory
conditions specified in S5.1(a). The
retractor shall be examined for ferrous
and nonferrous corrosion which may be
transferred, either directly or by means
of the webbing, to a person or his
clothing during use of a seat belt
assembly incorporating the retractor,
and for ferrous corrosion on significant
surfaces if the retractor is part of the
attachment hardware. The webbing
shall be withdrawn manually and
allowed to retract for 25 cycles. The
retractor shall be mounted in an
apparatus capable of extending the
webbing fully, applying a force of 89 N
at full extension, and allowing the
webbing to retract freely and
completely. The webbing shall be
withdrawn from the retractor and
allowed to retract repeatedly in this
apparatus until 2,500 cycles are
completed. The retractor and webbing
E:\FR\FM\06JAR1.SGM
06JAR1
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 4 / Friday, January 6, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
shall then be subjected to the
temperature resistance test prescribed in
paragraph (b) of this section. The
retractor shall be subjected to 2,500
additional cycles of webbing
withdrawal and retraction. Then, the
retractor and webbing shall be subjected
to dust in a chamber similar to one
illustrated in Figure 8 containing about
0.9 kg of coarse grade dust conforming
to the specification given in SAE
Recommended Practice J726 SEP79
(incorporated by reference, see § 571.5).
The dust shall be agitated every 20
minutes for 5 seconds by compressed
air, free of oil and moisture, at a gage
pressure of 550 ± 55 kPa entering
through an orifice 1.5 ± 0.1 mm in
diameter. The webbing shall be
extended to the top of the chamber and
kept extended at all times except that
the webbing shall be subjected to 10
cycles of complete retraction and
extension within 1 to 2 minutes after
each agitation of the dust. At the end of
5 hours, the assembly shall be removed
from the chamber. The webbing shall be
fully withdrawn from the retractor
manually and allowed to retract
completely for 25 cycles. An automaticlocking retractor or a nonlocking
retractor attached to pelvic restraint
shall be subjected to 5,000 additional
cycles of webbing withdrawal and
retraction. An emergency locking
retractor or a nonlocking retractor
attached to upper torso restraint shall be
subjected to 45,000 additional cycles of
webbing withdrawal and retraction
between 50 and 100 percent extension.
The locking mechanism of an
emergency locking retractor shall be
actuated at least 10,000 times within 50
to 100 percent extension of webbing
during the 50,000 cycles. At the end of
test, compliance of the retractors with
applicable requirements in S4.3 (h), (i),
and (j) shall be determined. Three
retractors shall be tested for
performance.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Matters Incorporated by
Reference
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule updates and consolidates all of the references
to the many standards and practices that are incorporated by reference
into the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSSs). Although this
part already contains a section regarding publications incorporated by
reference, the list in that section is incomplete and has not been
updated regularly. Instead, in many cases, materials have been
incorporated piecemeal into individual FMVSSs. This final rule moves
those scattered references into the centralized list so that it
contains all of the references. Additionally, this final rule removes
one obsolete FMVSS, No. 208a, as well as various obsolete provisions in
other FMVSSs. Those provisions are applicable to vehicles and equipment
manufactured before dates that have already passed and are no longer
needed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
DATES: The effective date of this final rule is February 6, 2012,
except for the amendments to 49 CFR 571.108, which are effective
December 1, 2012. The incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the
Federal Register as of February 6, 2012. The incorporation by reference
of certain publications listed in 49 CFR 571.108 is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of December 1, 2012.
Petitions for reconsideration must be received by February 21,
2012.
ADDRESSES: Petitions for reconsideration must be submitted to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Discussion
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51, when NHTSA wishes to
incorporate the standards and practices of other standardizing bodies
into its FMVSSs, it may incorporate those materials by reference
instead of reproducing them verbatim in the FMVSS. It must, however,
obtain the approval of the Director of the Federal Register for each
such incorporation. This final rule updates and consolidates all of the
references to the many standards and practices that are incorporated by
reference into the FMVSSs in Part 571. Although this part already
contains a section devoted to materials incorporated by reference,
Sec. 571.5, Matter Incorporated by Reference, the list is incomplete
in that section and has not been updated regularly. Instead, in many
cases, materials have been incorporated piecemeal into individual
FMVSSs throughout Part 571.
This final rule moves those scattered references into the
centralized list and moves the individual ``incorporation by
reference'' paragraphs contained in some of the sections of Part 571
into Sec. 571.5 so that all of the incorporations appear in one
location in that part. Additionally, we are revising other paragraphs
in the sections of Part 571 in order to include citations to Sec.
571.5 when incorporated materials are referenced and to correct
grammatical errors. This rule does not substantively alter or remove
from Part 571 any of the existing incorporations by reference, except
for those publications that are only referenced in the obsolete
standard and provisions that, as discussed below, are being removed
from the CFR. However, this rule does make minor textual changes to the
citations to the publications incorporated by reference.
Specifically, this rule standardizes the format used to reference
the various materials incorporated by reference and makes minor
corrections to reflect the accurate titles of these materials.
Additionally this rule incorporates the most recently reapproved
versions of several ASTM International standards.\1\ These versions are
identical to the versions of the standards currently incorporated by
reference. This rule also amends the title of the American Association
of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) ``Geometric Gray Scale,''
referenced in FMVSS Nos. 209 and 213, to its current title, ``Gray
Scale for Evaluating Change in Color.'' \2\ These amendments do not
alter the substance of any of the sections of Part 571 nor do they
alter the requirements of the FMVSSs contained therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ These standards are ASTM E1337-90 and ASTM E1136-93. Various
reapproval years are cited in the FMVSSs in which these two
standards are referenced. Additionally, several FMVSSs inadvertently
omit the version designation in the citations to ASTM E1136-93. This
document incorporates by reference ASTM E1337-90 (Reapproved 2008),
and ASTM E1136-93 (Reapproved 2003). When ASTM International
reapproves a standard, it merely renews the standard as is and makes
no revisions. These versions are identical to those currently
referenced in the various sections of Part 571.
\2\ Grades 1 through 5 on the scale, including No. 2, which is
the only grade referenced in the FMVSSs, have not been changed since
the scale was adopted in 1954. The only substantive change since
that time is the addition of half-grades (e.g., 1-2, 2-3). However,
this change does not alter the requirements of the FMVSSs that
incorporate the scale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to consolidating the list of materials incorporated by
reference, this rule amends Sec. 571.5 to include updated language
regarding how the public may obtain copies of the incorporated
materials, including new procedures for
[[Page 752]]
retrieving materials from the National Archives and Records
Administration and a new format indicating the sections where
incorporated materials are referenced. Today's document also updates
the contact information for all sources of the incorporated materials,
including phone numbers and Web sites, where possible, to assist
members of the public in acquiring the incorporated materials.
As indicated in the DATES section above, the amendments to FMVSS
No. 108 (Sec. 571.108) are not effective until December 1, 2012. The
reason for this delay is that on December 4, 2007, NHTSA published a
final rule amending FMVSS No. 108 (72 FR 68234). The purpose of the
2007 rule was to reorganize the standard and provide a more
straightforward and logical presentation of the applicable regulatory
requirements. In response to several petitions for reconsideration, the
agency delayed the effective date of the 2007 rule until December 1,
2012 (73 FR 50730; 74 FR 58213). Accordingly, the technical amendments
made to the amended version of FMVSS No. 108 by today's final rule are
likewise not effective until December 1, 2012. Additionally, the agency
notes that the updated table of incorporated materials created by this
document in Sec. 571.5 only includes the publications referenced by
the amended version of FMVSS No. 108, and does not include all of the
publications cited in the version of the standard currently in effect.
However, this final rule does not substantively alter or remove any of
the references to the incorporated materials in the version of FMVSS
No. 108 currently in effect.
This final rule removes the text of one obsolete FMVSS, No. 208a
(571.208a). FMVSS No. 208a only applies to vehicles manufactured
between January 27, 2004, and August 31, 2004. Given the limited period
of applicability of this FMVSS and the fact that those dates are well
in the past, this standard is no longer needed in the text of the CFR.
This final rule also removes references to FMVSS No. 208a contained in
other FMVSSs.
Likewise, this final rule removes outdated provisions contained in
other FMVSSs. These provisions are applicable to vehicles and equipment
manufactured before dates that have already passed. Accordingly, like
FMVSS No. 208a, these provisions are no longer needed in the text of
the CFR.
Finally, this final rule makes two technical amendments to Part 571
to correct inaccurate references. First, the authority citation of Part
571 incorrectly cites 49 U.S.C. 30177. This section does not exist. The
correct citation is 49 U.S.C. 30117. Second, paragraph S7.2.1 of FMVSS
No. 202a incorrectly references paragraph S6.1 of that standard.
Paragraph S7.2.1 describes the calculation of annual vehicle production
for the purposes of the September 1, 2010, to September 1, 2011, phase-
in of the rear seat requirements of the new standard. However,
paragraph S7.2.1 references S6.1, which describes the percentage of
vehicles manufactured between September 1, 2009, and September 1, 2010,
that must comply with the new standard as opposed to the old standard.
The correct reference is paragraph S7.1, which describes the percentage
of vehicles manufactured between September 1, 2010, and September 1,
2011, that must comply with the rear seat requirements of the new
standard.
II. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
Section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553)
provides that when an agency, for good cause, finds that notice and
public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest, the agency may issue a final rule without providing
notice and an opportunity for public comment (5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B)).
NHTSA has determined that there is good cause for making these
technical amendments final without notice and an opportunity for public
comment. These amendments consolidate the references to materials
currently incorporated by reference in the individual sections of Part
571 and correct the syntax of the references to these publications
within each section. The amendments also correct grammatical errors and
incorrect references in Part 571. Finally, the amendments delete the
text of one obsolete FMVSS as well as various obsolete provisions in
other sections of Part 571. The amendments do not alter the substance
of the amended sections nor do they alter the requirements of the
FMVSSs contained therein. Accordingly, notice and public comment are
unnecessary.
We are making the amendments effective 30 days after publication of
this document, with the exception of the amendments to FMVSS No. 108,
which are effective December 1, 2012. Given that the amendments do not
make any substantive changes, we find good cause for making the
amendments effective within this timeframe.
The agency has discussed the relevant requirements of Executive
Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13132 (Federalism), Executive Order
12988 (Civil Justice Reform), the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, the
Paperwork Reduction Act, Executive Order 13045 (Protection of Children
from Environmental Health and Safety Risks), the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act, and Executive Order 13211 (Energy
Effects), as applicable, in the underlying substantive rules
establishing and amending the various sections of Part 571. Those
discussions are not affected by these amendments.
