National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
[Docket No. NHTSA–2012–0159, Notice 2]
Decision That Nonconforming 2006–
2010 BMW M3 Passenger Cars Are
Eligible for Importation
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Grant of petition.
AGENCY:
This document announces a
decision by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration that
certain 2006–2010 BMW M3 passenger
cars (PCs) that were not originally
manufactured to comply with all
applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for
importation into the United States
because they are substantially similar to
vehicles originally manufactured for
sale in the United States that were
certified by their manufacturer as
complying with all applicable FMVSS
(the U.S. certified version of the 2006–
2010 BMW M3 PC), and they are
capable of being readily altered to
conform to the standards.
DATES: This decision became effective
on July 13, 2015.
ADDRESSES: For further information
contact George Stevens, Office of
Vehicle Safety Compliance, NHTSA
(202–366–5308).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a
motor vehicle that was not originally
manufactured to conform to all
applicable FMVSS shall be refused
admission into the United States unless
NHTSA has decided that the motor
vehicle is substantially similar to a
motor vehicle originally manufactured
for importation into and sale in the
United States, certified as required
under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same
model year as the model of the motor
vehicle to be compared, and is capable
of being readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may
be submitted by either manufacturers or
importers who have registered with
NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:59 Jul 16, 2015
Jkt 235001
specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an
opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period,
NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has
received, whether the vehicle is eligible
for importation. The agency then
publishes this decision in the Federal
Register.
US Specs, of Havre de Grace,
Maryland (Registered Importer 03–321),
petitioned NHTSA to decide whether
2006–2010 BMW M3 PCs are eligible for
importation into the United States.
NHTSA published a notice of the
petition on December 28, 2012 (77 FR
76598) to afford an opportunity for
public comment. The reader is referred
to that notice for a thorough description
of the petition.
Comments
On January 28, 2013, J.K.
Technologies, LLC (JK), another
Registered Importer, submitted
comments on the petition. In its
comments, JK expressed the belief that
the petition contained several omissions
and errors.
On May 20, 2013, US Specs
responded, in part, to JK’s comments by
submitting to NHTSA a revised listing
of parts associated with FMVSS No. 208
compliance.
On October 21, 2013, NHTSA
informed US Specs by letter that the
parts listing it submitted appeared to
only partially address the comments
made by JK. The agency offered US
Specs the opportunity to further address
JK’s comments.
On December 2, 2013 US Specs
submitted further comments and parts
information to NHTSA.
A summary of JK’s comments, US
Specs’ responses, and the conclusions
that NHTSA has reached with regard to
the issues raised by those parties is set
forth below.
Comments, Conclusions and Conditions
JK commented that the software
alterations necessary to conform the
vehicles to FMVSS No. 114 Theft
Protection and Rollaway Prevention
may also require replacement of the
CAS (theft prevention electronic control
unit or ‘‘ECU’’) hardware because some
versions of the European CAS units will
not accept U.S.-model programming.
US Specs responded: ‘‘Each vehicle
will need to be inspected on a case-bycase basis to see that they contain US
parts. The US parts will be installed if
not already so equipped. The Digital
Motor Electronics and Car Access
PO 00000
Frm 00137
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42603
System control unit will be replaced
and programmed as necessary.’’
JK also commented that US Specs did
not include in its description of
modifications needed to conform the
vehicles to FMVSS No. 208 Occupant
Crash Protection the need to replace the
following components with U.S.-model
components: Driver’s airbag, front
acceleration sensors (including front
body wiring harness and mounting
hardware), front door sensors (including
center body wiring harness and
mounting hardware), and rear seat belts.
JK also commented that the system
ECU’s will have to be reprogrammed
and may require replacement.
US Specs responded by submitting
additional parts lists and diagrams and
by stating: ‘‘Each vehicle will need to be
inspected on a case-by-case basis to see
if they contain the US-model parts. The
US-model parts will be installed if a
vehicle is not already so equipped. The
Digital Motor Electronics and Car
Access System control units will also be
replaced and reprogrammed as
necessary.’’
JK also commented that in order for
the vehicle to be conformed to FMVSS
No. 301 Fuel System Integrity, the
following U.S.-model parts would have
to be substituted for those originally
equipped on the vehicle: Fuel tank,
filler neck, all fuel and vapor lines, and
vapor storage canister.
US Specs responded by stating that
BMW uses many of the same
components for multiple vehicles
worldwide. US Specs further stated that
each vehicle will need to be inspected
on a case by case basis to see if it
contains the US-model parts and that
US-model parts will be installed on
vehicles not already so equipped. US
Specs also provided additional parts
lists and diagrams.
After reviewing the petition, JK’s
comments and US Specs’ responses to
those comments, NHTSA has concluded
that the vehicles covered by the petition
are capable of being readily altered to
comply with all applicable FMVSS.
However, in light of JK’s comments and
consistent with recent decisions that the
agency has made in granting several
import eligibility petitions for latemodel vehicles (See Docket Numbers:
NHTSA–2013–0107, NHTSA–2013–
0108, and NHTSA–2014–0004), NHTSA
has decided that an RI who imports or
modifies the subject vehicles must
include a detailed description of all
modifications it makes to achieve
conformity with applicable FMVSS in
each statement of conformity with
supporting documents (referred to as a
‘‘conformity package’’) it submits to
NHTSA under 49 CFR part 592.6(d).
