Petition for Exemption
Docket No.: FAA–2013–0322.
Petitioner: The Boeing Company.
Sections of 14 CFR Affected: 14 CFR
25.981(a)(3) and 25.901(c).
Description of Relief Sought: To allow
installation of the improved fuel pump
electrical connector independently of
the Fault Current Detector (FCD) or
conversely, to allow installation of the
FCD independently of the improved
electrical connector. The FCD will
provide an overall fuel pump electrical
circuit. It includes the fuel pump
electrical connector and will provide
protection against ignition sources as
required by the Equivalent Level of
Safety (ELOS) and § 25.901(c),
Amendment 25–46. Boeing seeks this
exemption until such time as both the
FCD and the electrical connector are
installed. Compliance to Special Federal
Aviation Regulation (SFAR) 88 for the
identified unsafe condition at a fuel
system level will be achieved at that
time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a
motor vehicle, that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:07 May 20, 2013
Jkt 229001
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 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 of Havre de Grace,
Maryland (Registered Importer 03–321)
has petitioned NHTSA to decide
whether nonconforming 2012 Lita GLE–
6 LSVs are eligible for importation into
the United States. US SPECS believes
these vehicles are capable of being
modified to meet all applicable FMVSS.
US SPECS submitted information
with its petition intended to
demonstrate that while 2012 Lita GLE–
6 LSVs do not conform to any FMVSS
as originally manufactured, they are
capable of being altered to comply with
all applicable FMVSS.
Specifically, the petitioner contends
that the nonconforming 2012 Lita GLE–
6 LSVs are capable of being readily
altered to meet FMVSS No. 500 as
follows:
1. Installation of headlights if not
already so equipped.
2. Installation of turn signals if not
already so equipped.
3. Installation of taillamps if not
already so equipped.
4. Installation of stop lamps if not
already so equipped.
5. Installation of reflex reflectors if the
vehicle is not already so equipped.
6. Installation of driver and passenger
mirrors if not already so equipped.
7. Installation of a parking brake if not
already so equipped.
8. Installation of a windshield that
meets the requirements of FMVSS No.
205 if not already so equipped.
9. Installation of Type 1 or Type 2
Seat belts that meet the requirements of
FMVSS No. 209 at each designated
seating position if not already so
equipped.

10. Every vehicle must be weighed.
Any vehicle exceeding the gross vehicle
weight rating (GVWR) limit for low
speed vehicles (3,000 lbs.) must have a
sufficient number of designated seating
positions removed to bring the GVWR
below that limit.
11. Every vehicle must be checked to
ensure that it does not exceed the
maximum (25 MPH) speed requirement.
Any vehicle that does not meet the
requirement must have its control
system reprogrammed to ensure that the
vehicle meets the maximum speed
requirement.
12. Every vehicle must be checked to
ensure that it can meet the minimum
(20 mph) speed requirement. Any
vehicle that does not meet the
requirement must have its control
system reprogramed to ensure that the
vehicle meets the minimum speed
requirement.
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.
It should be noted that the publication
of this notice is not an acknowledgment
that the vehicle that is the subject of the
petition, the 2012 Lita GLE–6, is a low
speed vehicle. In addition, in NHTSA’s
view, a vehicle that is not a low speed
vehicle may not be converted to one by
installing a governor (electronic or
mechanical) or by removing weight such
as by removing a seat, which may be
reinstalled. The vehicle at issue is the
2012 Lita GLE–6. Comments are invited
on these matters.
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 1.95 and 501.8.
