SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 3, 2014, NHTSA published a notice (at 79 FR 11869) that it had received a petition to decide that nonconforming 2012 McLaren MP4[12C] passenger cars are eligible for importation into the United States. The notice solicited public comments on the petition and stated that the closing date for comments is April 2, 2014. This is to notify the public that NHTSA is extending the comment period on this petition, and allowing it to run until April 16, 2014. This reopening is based on a request dated March 27, 2014, from McLaren Automotive, Inc. (‘‘McLaren’’) the vehicle’s manufacturer. McLaren stated that the extension was needed because, in McLaren’s view, the petitioner cannot satisfy the statutory criteria, since it would be very difficult, if not impossible, to bring nonconforming MP4[12C] vehicles into compliance PO 00000 Frm 00140 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 with all applicable FMVSSs. However, because many of the compliance issues that are raised by the subject petition are complex, McLaren will not be able to complete the preparation of its comments in time to meet the current due date. McLaren believes that this short extension will allow the preparation of a response that will address the relevant issues, and that it will not cause any hardship to the petitioner or to any other interested person. NHTSA has granted McLaren’s request. 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 address 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), (a)(1)(B), and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8. Jeffrey Giuseppe, Acting Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance.
