Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 85 / Monday, May 4, 2015 / Notices
FMVSS No. 209, Seat belt assemblies;
FNA commented that as pointed out by
JK in their petition, some European
market vehicles are equipped with fourpoint seat belt assemblies that do not
comply with this standard. FNA
contends that the belts could not simply
be replaced by a registered importer,
due to the absence of an anchorage on
the B-pillar.
JK responded that all vehicles
processed under this petition would
need to be inspected for compliance and
that all parts of the system are available.
NHTSA has decided that each
conformity package must include
photographic evidence that conforming
safety belts have been installed in the
vehicle. Safety belt anchorages are
addressed in the following FMVSS No.
210 discussion.
FMVSS No. 210, Seat belt assembly
anchorages; In its petition JK claims that
the subject non-U.S. certified vehicles
conform to FMVSS No. 210 as originally
manufactured. FNA commented that
European-market vehicles that were
equipped with optional four point
harnesses lack b-pillar anchorages
which are necessary for the installation
of compliant three point harnesses. FNA
expresses concern about the ability of an
RI to install this anchorage and ensure
that it meets the performance
requirements of the standard without
Ferrari’s templates and tools, which are
only used during production.
JK responded that any vehicle found
to be equipped with the optional belts
and lacking the mentioned anchorage
would have to be modified to meet this
standard. JK further states that they will
draw a template from the U.S. donor
vehicle and that as a result all parts and
engineering of the anchorage would
then be identical to the Ferrari
mounting point. JK asserts that less than
one percent of production is equipped
with the optional belts.
NHTSA has decided that conformity
packages for vehicles that require
modification must include a detailed
description of the alterations made to
achieve conformity with the standard.
The description must include sufficient
information to validate how the
alterations allowed the vehicle to meet
the requirements of the standard. This
information must include photographic
evidence that the modification was
carried out, as well as testing and/or
engineering analysis reports
documenting how the RI has verified
that the alterations will allow the
vehicle to meet all applicable
requirements of the standard.
FMVSS No. 301 Fuel system integrity;
FNA stated that the modifications to the
fuel system that JK identified in its
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:40 May 01, 2015
Jkt 235001
petition, while necessary to comply
with emissions requirements, have no
bearing on compliance with FMVSS No.
301.
JK responded that the rollover valves
incorporated in the U.S. market system
are an integral part of the fuel system
integrity of the vehicle and necessary for
compliance.
NHTSA has decided that the fuel
system modifications are necessary to
bring vehicles into compliance with the
standard. Additionally, NHTSA has
decided that each conformity package
must include a detailed description of
all modifications made to achieve
conformity with the standard. This
description must include part numbers
for each part replaced and be supported
with photographic evidence of the
modifications made to achieve
conformity.
FMVSS No. 401 Interior trunk release;
FNA expressed agreement that the
modifications noted in the petition are
necessary to conform the vehicle. The
company noted, however, that the
reprogramming could only be
completed with proprietary hardware
and software which is not available to
RI’s and can only be obtained from
Ferrari and/or FNA.
JK responded that it has the necessary
programs from its U.S. model vehicle.
NHTSA has decided that each
conformity package must include a
description of how the programming
changes were completed and how
compliance was verified. Additionally,
photographs, printouts, and/or
screenshots, as practicable, must be
submitted as proof that the
reprogramming was carried out.
49 CFR part 581, Bumper Standard;
FNA commented that in addition to the
modifications noted by JK in its
petition, additional bumper
reinforcements would have to be
installed in both the front and the rear
of the vehicle.
JK responded that no comment was
necessary.
NHTSA has decided that each
conformity package must include a
detailed description of all modifications
made to achieve conformity with the
standard, including necessary
modifications to the bumper
reinforcements. This description must
include part numbers for each part
replaced and be supported with
photographic evidence of the
modifications made to achieve
conformity.
In addition to the information
specified above, each conformity
package must include evidence showing
how the RI verified that the changes it
made in loading or reprograming

vehicle software to achieve conformity
with each separate FMVSS, did not also
cause the vehicle to fall out of
compliance with any other applicable
FMVSS.
Decision
Accordingly, on the basis of the
foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides that
model year 2010 European model
Ferrari California passenger cars that
were not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable FMVSS, are
substantially similar to model year 2010
Ferrari California passenger cars
manufactured for importation into and/
or sale in the United States, and
certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and are
capable of being readily altered to
conform to all applicable Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards.
Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject
Vehicles
The importer of a vehicle admissible
under any final decision must indicate
on the form HS–7 accompanying entry
the appropriate vehicle eligibility
number indicating that the vehicle is
eligible for entry. VSP–570 is the
vehicle eligibility number assigned to
vehicles admissible under this notice of
final decision.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120:

85616, 85638, 85635, 85615, 85603, and

The verified notice states that the
Line’s previous owner sought and
received abandonment authority for the
Line 2 and salvaged the track structure
on the Line, but did not consummate
the abandonment and instead sold the
Line to UP.3 UP has certified that: (1) No
local traffic has moved over the Line for
at least two years; (2) no overhead traffic
has moved over the Line for at least two
years; (3) no formal complaint filed by
a user of rail service on the Line (or by
a state or local government entity acting
on behalf of such user) regarding
cessation of service over the Line is
pending either with the Surface
Transportation Board (Board) or with
any U.S. District Court or has been
decided in favor of complainant within
the two-year period; and (4) the
requirements at 49 CFR 1105.12
(newspaper publication) and 49 CFR
1152.50(d)(1) (notice to governmental
agencies) have been met.
As a condition to this exemption, any
employee adversely affected by the
discontinuance shall be protected under
Oregon Short Line Railroad—
Abandonment Portion Goshen Branch
Between Firth & Ammon, in Bingham &
Bonneville Counties, Idaho, 360 I.C.C.
91 (1979). To address whether this
condition adequately protects affected
employees, a petition for partial
revocation under 49 U.S.C. 10502(d)
must be filed.
Provided no formal expression of
intent to file an offer of financial
assistance (OFA) to subsidize continued
rail service has been received, this
exemption will become effective on
June 3, 2015, unless stayed pending
reconsideration. Petitions to stay that do
not involve environmental issues and
formal expressions of intent to file an
OFA to subsidize continued rail service
under 49 CFR 1152.27(c)(2),4 must be
filed by May 14, 2015.5 Petitions to
