deployed during aerial refueling
operations. Application of 14 CFR
25.345(c) would drive increased
maneuver and gust loads resulting in
impractical redesign of the wing
structure. The airplane design provides
adequate structural capability for aerial
operations with high lift devices
deployed due to the limited
maneuvering and the low frequency of
occurrence. The petitioner requests an
exemption from 14 CFR 25.345(c).

RECARO Child Safety, LLC, Denial of
Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Denial of petition.
AGENCY:
RECARO Child Safety, LLC
(Recaro) determined that certain Recaro
child restraints do not fully comply
with the system integrity requirements
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:07 Jul 09, 2015
Jkt 235001
of paragraph S5.1.1(a) of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
213, Child Restraint Systems. Recaro
filed an appropriate report, pursuant to
49 CFR part 573, Defect and
Noncompliance Responsibility and
Reports, that was received by NHTSA
on July 30, 2014. Recaro also submitted
a petition for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis of
the petitioner’s belief that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. NHTSA published
a notice of receipt of the petition and
requested comment on the petition.
After consideration of Recaro’s analysis
and other information, NHTSA has
decided to deny the petition.
For further information on
this decision contact Zachary Fraser,
Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), telephone
(202) 366–5754, facsimile (202) 366–
5930.
ADDRESSES:
I.
Overview: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
30118(d) and 30120(h) (see
implementing rule at 49 CFR part 556),
Recaro submitted a petition for an
exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis of the
petitioner’s belief that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
Notice of receipt of the petition was
published, with a 30-day public
comment period, on November 21, 2014
in the Federal Register (79 FR 69551).
Comments were received, from an
individual, Sean Stewart, and from
Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety
(Advocates). Both commenters opposed
the petition. Mr. Stewart believes that
child restraint manufacturers should be
required to meet the applicable
requirements in FMVSS No. 213
regardless of the manufacturer’s
instructions and warnings. Advocates
believes that ‘‘the reasons provided by
RECARO fail to justify determining that
the non-compliance is inconsequential.’’

all supporting documents, log onto the

(FDMS) Web site at: https://

search instructions to locate docket
number ‘‘NHTSA–2014–0109.’’
II. Child Restraints Involved: Affected
are approximately 78,339 Recaro

between April 9, 2010 and July 8, 2014,
and approximately 42,303 Recaro

manufactured between January 15, 2013
and July 8, 2014.
III. Noncompliance: Recaro explains
that the subject child restraints do not
comply with the system integrity
requirements of FMVSS No. 213,
paragraph S5.1.1(a), when subjected to
the dynamic test requirements of
FMVSS No. 213 S6.1. During NHTSA’s
compliance tests with the Hybrid II sixyear-old child dummy and the Hybrid
III weighted six-year-old child dummy
connected to the child restraints with
the internal harness and the child
restraints attached to the test bench with
a lap belt and top tether, the tether belt
separated at the attachment point to the
child restraints. The top tether belt
separation exhibited a complete
separation of a load bearing structural
element. Therefore, the child restraints
do not comply with the requirements set
forth in FMVSS No. 213 S5.1.1(a).1
IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S5.1.1 of
FMVSS No. 213 requires, in pertinent
part:
S5.1.1 Child restraint system integrity.
When tested in accordance with S6.1, each
child restraint system shall meet the
requirements of paragraphs (a) through (c) of
this section.
(a) Exhibit no complete separation of any
load bearing structural element and no
partial separation exposing either surfaces
with a radius of less than 1/4 inch or surfaces
with protrusions greater than 3/8 inch above
the immediate adjacent surrounding
contactable surface of any structural element
of the system.
*
*

*
*
Under S6.1 of FMVSS No. 213,
NHTSA tests child restraints with a
child test dummy selected for use in
accordance with the provisions of S7 of
the standard. Under S7, the selection is
based on the heights and weights of the
children for whom the child restraint is
sold. Under S7.1.2(d), NHTSA uses the
Hybrid II (HII) or Hybrid III (HIII) sixyear-old child test dummy to test CRSs
recommended for children with masses
greater than 18 kg (40 lb). Under
S7.1.2(e), NHTSA uses the HIII
weighted six-year-old child test dummy
to test CRSs for children with masses
above 22.7 kg (50 lb). The children for
whom Recaro sold the subject CRSs
included children with masses from 18
kilograms (kg) (40 pounds (lb)) to 30 kg
(65 lb). Thus, under FMVSS No. 213,
Recaro’s child restraints were required
to meet the child restraint system
integrity requirements of FMVSS No.
213 when tested with the six-year-old
1 Petitioner informed NHTSA that production and
distribution of the subject child restraints affected
by the noncompliance were corrected effective July
9, 2014.
