Survey of Foreign Ownership of U.S. Securities as of June 30, 2014, 33641-33642 [2014-13629]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Notices with paragraph S5.3 of FMVSS No. 305 would not unreasonably degrade the safety of the vehicle because the vehicle has additional safety features designed to protect vehicle occupants and first responders in the event of a crash. First, Toyota equipped the FCV high voltage sources with physical barriers that they believe would prevent any direct physical contact with live voltage sources after the crash. Second, Toyota ensured that all physical barriers would be grounded to the chassis with a grounding resistance of less than 0.1 ohms. The company states that this would protect against any indirect contact with high voltage sources. Finally, Toyota states that the high voltage sources would continue to maintain an electrical isolation of 100 ohms/volt. Through the combination of these three attributes, Toyota believes that the noncompliance with paragraph S5.3 would not unreasonably degrade the safety of its FCV. In support of the second basis (overall safety is at least equal to a nonexempt vehicle), Toyota states that its FCV would not meet the current requirements of FMVSS No. 305 in low speed crashes where the automatic disconnect does not activate and Toyota would not be able to sell the vehicle in the United States. However, due to the additional safety features that the company plans to incorporate into its FCVs (i.e., physical barrier + grounding of the physical barriers to the chassis + maintaining electrical isolation of 100 ohms/volt), Toyota believes that their FCV maintains a level of safety that is at least equivalent to a vehicle complying with FMVSS No. 305. In support of this contention, Toyota cites their belief that their FCV would comply with the relevant European standard (ECE R.100) and Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 13 which allow manufacturers to ensure electrical safety through methods such as encasing high voltage sources in a physical barrier. ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES IV. Completeness and Comment Period Upon receiving a petition, NHTSA conducts an initial review of the petition with respect to whether the petition is complete and whether the petitioner appears to be eligible to apply for the requested exemption. The agency has tentatively concluded that the petition from Toyota is complete and that Toyota is eligible to apply for a temporary exemption. The agency has not made any judgment on the merits of the application, and is placing a nonconfidential copy of the petition in the docket. VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:19 Jun 10, 2014 Jkt 232001 The agency seeks comment from the public on the merits of Toyota’s application for a temporary exemption from the electrical safety requirements in paragraph S5.3 of FMVSS No. 305. We are providing a 30-day comment period. After considering public comments and other available information, we will publish a notice of final action on the application in the Federal Register.
