motor vehicle safety for the following
reasons:
This condition is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety for the following
reasons:
1. Manual operation of the turn signal
is unaffected. The driver can manually
cancel the turn signal in the rare event
the self-cancelling feature does not
work.
2. If the turn signal does not selfcancel, the driver is alerted to the fact
that the turn signal remains on through
multiple means:
a. The turn signal telltale continues to
flash;
b. The audible turn signal indicator
persists as long as the turn signal is
active;
c. The redundant turn signals
(mounted on the outer edge of both
outboard mirrors) that are visible to the
driver continue to flash as long as the
turn signal is active;
d. After traveling 3⁄4 of a mile with the
turn signal active, a Driver Information
Center message, ‘‘TURN SIGNAL ON,’’
is displayed indicating a turn signal has
been left on; and
e. The DIC message is accompanied
by a single chime to alert the driver to
the DIC message indicating the turn
signal is still active.
3. GM records as of the week of 13
May 2013 indicate the condition
declares itself early and is nearly always
repaired within the first few months of
service.
a. GM does not have a specific labor
code for the subject condition. Through
a search of all possibly related labor
codes, GM found nineteen repairs that
might possibly be associated with
subject condition. Even conservatively
including all nineteen repairs as related
to the subject condition, the resulting
warranty rate is projected very low at
1.8 IPTV in 36 Month in Service.
b. Of the nineteen repairs, five were
repaired prior to customer delivery and
nine were repaired in the first 2 months
in service.
4. NHTSA has previously granted
petitions for inconsequential that are
similar to the subject noncompliance.
GM has additionally informed
NHTSA that it has corrected the
noncompliance so that all future
production vehicles will comply with
FMVSS No. 108.
In summation, GM believes that the
described noncompliance of the subject
vehicles 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010

required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be
granted.
ACTION:
NHTSA’s Decision
The Board is granting an
exemption under 49 U.S.C. 10502 from
the prior approval requirements of 49
U.S.C. 10901 for the California HighSpeed Rail Authority (Authority) to
construct an approximately 114-mile
high-speed passenger rail line between
Fresno and Bakersfield, California (the
Line). The Line would be the second
section of the statewide California HighSpeed Train System. This exemption is
subject to environmental mitigation
conditions and the condition that the
Authority build the route designated as
environmentally preferable.
DATES: The exemption will be effective
on August 27, 2014; petitions to reopen
must be filed by September 2, 2014.
ADDRESSES: An original and ten copies
of all pleadings, referring to Docket No.
FD 35724 (Sub-No. 1), must be filed
with the Surface Transportation Board,
395 E Street SW., Washington, DC
20423–0001. In addition, one copy of
each filing in this proceeding must be
served on the Authority’s
representative: Linda J. Morgan,
Nossaman LLP, 1666 K Street NW.,
Suite 500, Washington, DC 20006.

[Assistance for the hearing impaired is
available through the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at:

Copies of written filings will be
available for viewing and self-copying at
the Board’s Public Docket Room, Room
131, and will be posted to the Board’s
Web site.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Additional information is contained in
the Board’s decision. Board decisions
and notices are available on our Web
site at WWW.STB.DOT.GOV.
Notice of construction
exemption.
SUMMARY:
NHTSA’s Analysis: We have
concluded that the vehicle, in addition
to the required telltales, will alert the
driver through multiple and persistent
means when the turn signal is still
active, and that the driver will be able
to cancel the turn signal by using a
manually operated control.
NHTSA’s Decision: In consideration
of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided
that GM has met its burden of
persuasion that the FMVSS No. 108
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, GM’s
petition is hereby granted and GM is
exempted from the obligation of
providing notification of, and a remedy
for, that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120.
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, this
decision only applies to the subject
noncompliant vehicles that GM no
longer controlled at the time it
determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, the granting of this
petition does not relieve vehicle
distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale,
or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after GM notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and
501.8).
