Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 121 / Wednesday, June 24, 2015 / Notices tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES (d) The maximum load rating and corresponding inflation pressure of the tire, show as follows: (Mark on tires rated for single and dual load): Max load single __kg (__lb) at __kPa (__psi) cold. Max load dual __kg (__lb) at _ _kPa (__psi) cold. (Mark on tires rated only for single load): Max load __kg (__lb) at __kPa (__psi) cold. . . . (j) The letter designating the tire load range. V. Summary of Tireco’s Analyses: Tireco believes that the absence of the load range marking on some of the subject tires causes little or no risk of overloading of the tires by an end-user because the tires are marked with the correct number of plies, the correct load index and the correct maximum load values which Tireco believes provide equivalent information. Tireco also states that it has found one previous inconsequential noncompliance petition (see 79 FR 78562 (December 30, 2014)) in which the agency addressed the issue of a missing load range marking and believes that the agency should apply the same rationale in the case of the its petition. In the case of the subset of affected tires marked with the incorrect load range letter ‘‘J,’’ Tireco believes there is no safety consequence since the tires actually were designed and manufactured to be stronger than load range ‘‘J’’ tires (which are constructed with two fewer plies). Thus, there is no risk that the incorrect marking would lead to overloading by an end-user. Moreover, the paper label attached to each of the tires, which must remain attached until the time of sale, contains the correct load range information, so there is little, if any, possibility that a purchaser will be misled. In the case of the subset of affected tires that can be used in single or dual configuration, Tireco believes that the fact that both of the ratings were labeled as applicable to ‘‘DUAL’’ applications cannot realistically create a safety problem. Particularly since the tires are correctly marked with the correct maximum load capacity and inflation pressure in accordance with The Tire and Rim Association 2014 Year Book. Tireco also believes that any prospective purchaser of these tires, any operator of a truck equipped with these tires, and any tire retailer would immediately recognize that the first rating, ‘‘1800Kg (3970LBS) AT 760 KPa (110 PSI) COLD,’’ applies to the ‘‘single’’ configuration, and the second rating, ‘‘1700Kg (3750LBS) AT 760 kPa (110 PSI) COLD,’’ applies to the ‘‘dual’’ configuration. Such persons are fully aware that for all medium truck tires designed to be used in both single and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 Jun 23, 2015 Jkt 235001 dual configurations, the maximum load and corresponding pressure applicable to the single configuration is listed above the information applicable to the dual configuration. Such persons also would be aware that there could be no valid reason to have two different maximum loads for the dual configuration, and thus would immediately understand that the first load rating was meant to apply when the tire was utilized in a single configuration. Moreover, since the applicable inflation pressure is the same for both configurations, there is no risk that the mismarking would cause an operator to improperly inflate any of the tires. Tireco states that when a tire is designed for use in both single and dual configurations, FMVSS No. 119 requires that compliance testing be conducted based on the higher, more punishing tire load. Accordingly, Tireco believes that the tires will perform safely in both configurations. Tireco also believes that this principle was relied upon in grants of two similar petitions filed by Michelin North America, Inc. See 71 FR 77092 (December 22, 2006) and 69 FR 62512 (October 26, 2004). In addition, Tireco stated its belief that all of tires covered by this petition meet or exceed the performance requirements of FMVSS No. 119, as well as the other labeling requirements of the standard. Tireco is not aware of any crashes, injuries, customer complaints, or field reports associated with the subject mislabelings. As soon as Tireco became aware of the noncompliance, it immediately isolated the noncompliant inventory in Tireco’s warehouses to prevent any additional sales. Tireco will bring all of the noncompliant tires into full compliance with the requirements of FMVSS No. 119, or else the tires will be scrapped. Tireco also believes that the fabricating manufacturer has corrected the molds at the manufacturing plant, so no additional tires will be manufactured with the noncompliance. In summation, Tireco believes that the described noncompliance of the subject tires is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that its petition, to exempt Tireco 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 PO 00000 Frm 00092 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36407 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 tires that Tireco 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 tires under their control after Tireco notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

Web sites in connection with Treasury-generated hashtags or other 
Treasury-generated social media message identifiers; (2) information 
submitted directly to Treasury on web forms posted on Treasury.gov. In 
both instances, the information collected may also include identifying 
information relating to the individuals posting or submitting the 
material, to the extent such identifying information is provided or 
posted.

Types of Information Collected

    The following types of information are collected to the extent the 
individual either provides the information through Treasury.gov or 
publicly publishes this information on third-party social media sites 
using Treasury-generated social media identifiers: Full name; username;

publicly available on its Web site(s). Treasury may also share the 
information collected with the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA) to ensure compliance with Federal Records Act 
requirements, or in response to NARA Office of Government Information 
Services requests relating to Treasury compliance with the Freedom of 
Information Act. Treasury may also share the information with 
contractors for the purpose of compiling, organizing, analyzing, 
programming, or otherwise refining the information to accomplish an 
agency function. Treasury may also share the information with a 
Congressional office in response to an inquiry made at the request of
