Nebraska Central Railroad Company-Abandonment Exemption-in Merrick County, Neb., 17650-17651 [2014-06919]

Download as PDF 17650 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 60 / Friday, March 28, 2014 / Notices SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Thor’s Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), Thor submitted a petition for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. This notice of receipt of Thor’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. II. RV Trailers Involved: Affected are approximately 3,465 RV trailers manufactured between November 7, 2008 and September 10, 2013. The trailer models affected are Livin’ Lite model year (MY) 2008–2014 Quicksilver, MY 2009–2014 Camplite, MY 2009–2014 VRV, MY 2009–2014 Bearcat, and MY 2013–2014 Axxess. III. Noncompliance: Thor explains that the noncompliance is that of the absence of the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) label that is required by paragraph S9 of FMVSS No. 110 and paragraph S10 of FMVSS No. 120 for all motor homes and RV Trailers. IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S9 of FMVSS No. 110 requires in pertinent part: . . . S9.3 Each motor home and RV Trailer single stage or final stage manufacturer must affix either a motor home occupant and cargo carrying capacity (OCCC) label (Figure 3) or a RV trailer cargo carrying capacity (CCC) label (Figure 4) to its vehicles that meets the following criteria . . . Paragraph S10 of FMVSS No. 120 requires in pertinent part: mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES . . . S10.4 Each motor home and RV Trailer single stage or final stage manufacturer must affix either a motor home occupant and cargo carrying capacity (OCCC) label (Figure 1) or a RV trailer cargo carrying capacity (CCC) label (Figure 2) to its vehicles that meets the following criteria . . . V. Summary of Thor’s Analyses: Thor stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety for the following reasons: 1. The cargo carrying capacity information displayed on the CCC label is redundant since it is also displayed on the Tire Placard Label as required by paragraph S4.3 of FMVSS No. 110. 2. Although the Tire Placard Label is not required on trailers over 10,000 lbs GVWR, Thor placed the Tire Placard Label on all trailers it produced and is located on the trailer tongue next to the Federal Certification Label. 3. The Livin’ Lite Owner’s manuals (which can be found on VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:57 Mar 27, 2014 Jkt 232001 www.livinlite.com) instruct owners on the loading of their vehicle and where to find the required ratings that are displayed on the Federal Certification Label. 4. The Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin (MSO) also contains both the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the unloaded vehicle weight (UVW). The difference of these two numbers would also give the owner the available CCC of the trailer. 5. Thor had received no complaints or inquiries regarding cargo carrying capacity from any of its owners or dealers. 6. Thor also stated its belief that NHTSA has previously stated (72 FR 68442–68466, December 4, 2007) that the most important time for RV purchasers to receive the CCC information is at the point-of-sale. Thor has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected the noncompliance so that all future production of these trailers will fully comply with FMVSS Nos. 110 and 120. In summation, Thor believes that the described noncompliance of the subject trailers is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that its petition, to exempt from providing recall notification of noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted. NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively, to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on this petition only applies to the subject noncompliant trailers that Thor no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve trailer distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant trailers under their control after Thor notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.
