SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a
motor vehicle, including a trailer, that
was not originally manufactured to
conform to all applicable FMVSS, and
has no substantially similar U.S.certified counterpart, shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle has safety features that comply
with, or are capable of being altered to
comply with, all applicable FMVSS
based on destructive test data or such
other evidence as NHTSA decides to be
adequate.
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 notices 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.
J.K. Technologies, LLC of Baltimore,
Maryland (J.K.) (Registered Importer 90–
006) has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming 2005 Ifor
Williams LM85G trailers are eligible for
importation into the United States. J.K.
believes these vehicles are capable of
being modified to meet all applicable
FMVSS.
J.K. submitted information with its
petition intended to demonstrate that
2005 Ifor Williams LM85G trailers
conform to one FMVSS and are capable
of being altered to comply with all other
standards to which they were not
originally manufactured to conform.
Specifically, the petitioner claims that
2005 Ifor Williams LM85G trailers, as
originally manufactured, are equipped
with DOT-compliant tires, as required
by Standard No. 119 New Pneumatic
Tires for Vehicles other than Passenger
Cars.
The petitioner contends that the
nonconforming 2005 Ifor Williams
LM85G trailers are capable of being
readily altered to meet the following
standards, in the manner indicated:
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective
Devices and Associated Equipment:
PO 00000
Frm 00168
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
17569
Installation of conforming reflex
reflectors, tail lamps, license plate
lamps, rear side marker lamps, front
side marker lamps, intermediate side
markers lamps, rear identification
lamps, and front and rear clearance
lamps, as necessary to achieve
compliance with the standard.
Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and
Rims for Motor Vehicles Other than
Passenger Cars: installation of a tire
information placard, and inspection of
all vehicles and replacement of any
nonconforming rims with ones that
meet the standard.
In addition, the petitioner states that
a vehicle identification number plate or
label must be installed to meet the
requirements of 49 CFR part 565 if the
vehicle is not already so equipped.
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
docket at the above addresses both
before and after that date. To the extent
possible, comments filed after the
closing date will also be considered.
Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal
Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and
(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8; delegations of authority
at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
