Proposed Agency Information Collection Request; Vendor Invoice Submission Pilot, 66615-66616 [2015-27577]

Download as PDF asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 209 / Thursday, October 29, 2015 / Notices addressed what it believes are similar issues. Tireco is not aware of any crashes, injuries, customer complaints, or field reports associated with the subject noncompliance. Tireco has additionally informed NHTSA that the fabricating manufacturer has corrected the molds at the manufacturing plant so that 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’S Decision: NHTSA’s Analysis: Although the tire size codes were not included as part of the TINs on the effected tires, the actual size of each tire is clearly marked on its sidewall and should allow end-users to be able to select a tire size for their vehicles. In addition, in the event that the tires are subject to a recall or need to be identified as part of a defect investigation, the tires could be identified by the correctly stamped partial TIN on the sidewall. Subsequent to receiving the subject petition, NHTSA contacted Tireco and received its verification that a registration card submitted with an incomplete TIN for the subject tires would be accepted and registered correctly. The subject noncompliance also has no effect on the operational safety of vehicles on which these tires are mounted. NHTSA’s Decision: In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that Tireco has met its burden of persuasion that the FMVSS No. 119 noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, Tireco’s petition is hereby granted and Tireco is not obligated to provide notification of, and a remedy for, that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120. 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 tires that Tireco no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, VerDate Sep<11>2014 23:37 Oct 28, 2015 Jkt 238001 any decision on this petition does not relieve tire 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.
