I. Procedural Matters
A. Initial Regulatory Flexibility Act
Analysis
4. As required by the Regulatory
Flexibility Act of 1980, as amended
(RFA), the Bureau prepared an Initial
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (IRFA),
included as part of the Model Design
PN, 77 FR 38804, June 29, 2012, of the
possible significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities by
the policies and rules proposed in these
Public Notices and the information
posted online in the Virtual Workshops.
We have reviewed the IRFA and have
determined that is does not need to be
supplemented.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
5. This document does not contain
proposed information collection(s)
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (PRA), Public Law 104–13. In
addition, therefore, it does not contain
any new or modified information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees,
pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).

to examine the record in this proceeding
are encouraged to examine the record on
ECFS and the Virtual Workshop.
Although Virtual Workshop

comment anonymously, anonymous
comments will not be part of the record
in this proceeding and accordingly will
not be relied on by the Commission in
reaching its conclusions in this
rulemaking. The Commission will not
rely on anonymous postings in reaching
conclusions in this matter because of
the difficulty in verifying the accuracy
of information in anonymous postings.

available for inspection upon request.

New Car Assessment Program (NCAP)

Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Request for comments.
AGENCY:
This document requests
public comment on the agency’s
planned update to the U.S. New Car
Assessment Program (NCAP). This
update would enhance the program’s
ability to recommend to motor vehicle
consumers various vehicle models that
contain rearview video systems that
would substantially enhance the
driver’s ability to avoid backover
crashes. For many years, NCAP has
provided comparative information on
the safety of new vehicles to assist
consumers with vehicle purchasing
decisions. NCAP was most recently
upgraded for model year 2011 to
include recommended crash avoidance
technologies. Including this information
in NCAP not only allows consumers to
better determine which vehicle models
have advanced crash avoidance safety
features but also which of these
advanced features are best able to help
them avoid crashes.
DATES: You should submit your
comments early enough to ensure that
Docket Management receives them no
later than July 26, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments should refer to
the docket number above and be
submitted by one of the following
methods:
• Federal Rulemaking Portal: https://

instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
document requests comment on the
agency’s plan to upgrade the U.S. New
Car Assessment Program (NCAP) to
include recommendations to motor
vehicle consumers on vehicle models
that contain rearview video systems that
can substantially enhance the driver’s
ability to avoid a backover crash. The
plan substitutes the rearview video
systems for electronic stability control
(ESC) as a recommended crash
avoidance technology on
www.safercar.gov. As ESC is now
required equipment on vehicles with a
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of
10,000 pounds or less, the agency
believes that it is no longer necessary to
include ESC as a recommended
technology to consumers. NCAP
provides comparative information on
the safety performance and features of
new vehicles to assist consumers with
their vehicle purchasing decisions. The
program was most recently upgraded for
model year 2011 to include (among
other changes) recommended crash
avoidance technologies. By including
