Custom Glass’s Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), Custom Glass 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 Custom Glass’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. Glazing Involved: Approximately 160 laminated glass panes, other than windscreens, intended for the cabs of approximately twenty mining vehicles VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:25 Sep 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 being manufactured by Atlas Copco in Australia. The panes consist of two 4.0 mm tempered panes manufactured by Auto Temp, Inc. (ATI) that were bonded together with a 0.76 mm PVB layer by Custom Glass and then shipped to Angus Palm, Watertown, South Dakota between August 1, 2013 and September 4, 2013. III. Noncompliance: Custom Glass explains that the noncompliance is that the labeling on the subject laminated glass panes does not fully meet the requirements of paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205. The panes were labeled with the incorrect DOT number, manufacturer’s trademark, manufacturer’s model number (i.e., ‘‘M number’’) and were incorrectly marked as Tempered. IV. Rule Text: Refer to the entire text of Paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205 for requirements and contextual restrictions. V. Summary of Custom Glass’s Analyses: Custom Glass stated its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety based on the following reasoning: The parts are labeled with the DOT number, ‘‘M number’’ and trademark belonging to the tempered glazing supplier, ATI. The correct DOT number, which should have been affixed to the parts at issue, is DOT 22. The correct ‘‘M number’’ is M85L2 (which corresponds to a laminated glass construction with an 8.5 mm nominal thickness, from which Guardian fabricates automotive parts for use anywhere in a motor vehicle except windshields). The panes are marked with the correct AS Item number. Although the subject laminated glass panes are affixed with the incorrect DOT number, ‘‘M number’’ and manufacturer’s trademark, the glass construction from which the laminated glass parts were fabricated is in full compliance with the technical requirements of FMVSS No. 205 that currently apply to laminated glass for use anywhere in a motor vehicle except windshields. Custom Glass also asserts that the subject noncompliance could not result in the wrong part being used in an OEM or ARG application given that the part would be ordered by its unique part number and not the ‘‘M number’’ (which corresponds to the glass construction from which the part is fabricated). The parts are also easily traceable back to Custom Glass since they are the only glazing supplier for this particular vehicle. Custom Glass has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected the noncompliance so that all future PO 00000 Frm 00153 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57655 production vehicles delivered with laminated glass will comply with FMVSS No. 205. In summation, Custom Glass believes that the described noncompliance of the subject laminated glass parts 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 laminated glass parts that Custom Glass no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve equipment distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant motor laminated glass parts under their control after Custom Glass notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Custom Glass's Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556), Custom Glass 
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 Custom Glass'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. Glazing Involved: Approximately 160 laminated glass panes, 
other than windscreens, intended for the cabs of approximately twenty 
mining vehicles being manufactured by Atlas Copco in Australia. The 
panes consist of two 4.0 mm tempered panes manufactured by Auto Temp, 
Inc. (ATI) that were bonded together with a 0.76 mm PVB layer by Custom 
Glass and then shipped to Angus Palm, Watertown, South Dakota between 
August 1, 2013 and September 4, 2013.
    III. Noncompliance: Custom Glass explains that the noncompliance is 
that the labeling on the subject laminated glass panes does not fully 
meet the requirements of paragraph S6 of FMVSS No. 205. The panes were 
labeled with the incorrect DOT number, manufacturer's trademark, 
manufacturer's model number (i.e., ``M number'') and were incorrectly 
marked as Tempered.
    IV. Rule Text: Refer to the entire text of Paragraph S6 of FMVSS 
No. 205 for requirements and contextual restrictions.
    V. Summary of Custom Glass's Analyses: Custom Glass stated its 
belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential to motor 
vehicle safety based on the following reasoning:
    The parts are labeled with the DOT number, ``M number'' and 
trademark belonging to the tempered glazing supplier, ATI. The correct 
DOT number, which should have been affixed to the parts at issue, is 
DOT 22. The correct ``M number'' is M85L2 (which corresponds to a 
laminated glass construction with an 8.5 mm nominal thickness, from 
which Guardian fabricates automotive parts for use anywhere in a motor 
vehicle except windshields). The panes are marked with the correct AS 
Item number.
    Although the subject laminated glass panes are affixed with the 
incorrect DOT number, ``M number'' and manufacturer's trademark, the 
glass construction from which the laminated glass parts were fabricated 
is in full compliance with the technical requirements of FMVSS No. 205 
that currently apply to laminated glass for use anywhere in a motor 
vehicle except windshields.
    Custom Glass also asserts that the subject noncompliance could not 
result in the wrong part being used in an OEM or ARG application given 
that the part would be ordered by its unique part number and not the 
``M number'' (which corresponds to the glass construction from which 
the part is fabricated). The parts are also easily traceable back to 
Custom Glass since they are the only glazing supplier for this 
particular vehicle.
    Custom Glass has additionally informed NHTSA that it has corrected 
the noncompliance so that all future production vehicles delivered with 
laminated glass will comply with FMVSS No. 205.
    In summation, Custom Glass believes that the described 
noncompliance of the subject laminated glass parts 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 laminated glass parts that 
Custom Glass no longer controlled at the time it determined that the 
noncompliance existed. However, any decision on this petition does not 
relieve equipment distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the 
sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into 
interstate commerce of the noncompliant motor laminated glass parts 
under their control after Custom Glass notified them that the subject 
noncompliance existed.

49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8).
