HUDs have been incorporated and
researched extensively in aviation and
motor vehicle applications because of
their relative advantage over head-down
displays (HDDs). Research in the Cab
Technology Integration Lab (CTIL),
FRA’s locomotive simulator at the Volpe
Center in Cambridge, MA, has shown
that in-cab displays, such as moving
maps, can lead to prolonged headsdown time (Young, et al., 2015).
Additionally, research done in the field
in naturalistic studies using passenger
vehicles has also shown that looking
inside a vehicle for interface control
features increases the risk of an accident
(Liang, Lee, & Yekhsatyan, 2012). Thus,
a HUD has real advantages over an HDD.
An investigation of alternative
technologies that increase forward-track
viewing time is worth pursuing.
To test the hypothesis that display
communications on a HUD can reduce
workload and distractions while
increasing the time the engineer keeps
his or her eyes on the forward track, an
experiment will be run in the CTIL with
four different conditions: HUD presence
(present or absent) will be crossed with
radio communications (present or
absent). Forty train engineers will
participate in the simulator study and
survey data collection. The HUD will be
developed and installed by the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
A subjective measure of workload,
such as the NASA TLX, will be utilized
in this study and provided to the train
engineers after the simulator
experiment. In addition, usability of the
system will be rated with a usability
scale by the train engineers. Analysis of
the simulator data, workload data, and
usability survey data will allow FRA to
assess whether the HUD has a relative
advantage over the HDD in rail, and if
it could mitigate performance declines
related to the radio communications.

vehicles. MNA filed a report dated May
5, 2016, pursuant to 49 CFR part 573,

petitioned NHTSA under 49 CFR part
556 requesting a decision that the
subject noncompliance is

inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety.
ADDRESSES: For further information on
this decision contact Abraham Diaz,

National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), telephone
(202) 366–5310, facsimile (202) 366–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Overview
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49
CFR part 556), MNA submitted a
petition for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of
49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that
this noncompliance is inconsequential
as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
Notice of receipt of the petition was
published, with a 30-day public
comment period on August 3, 2016 in
the Federal Register (81 FR 51266). No
comments were received. To view the
petition and all supporting documents
log onto the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) Web page
at: https://www.regulations.gov/. Then

0067.’’
II. Tires Involved
Affected are approximately 186 MNA
Uniroyal Tiger Paw AWP II size P215/
70R15 97T passenger car tires that were
manufactured between January 10, 2016
and January 13, 2016.
III. Noncompliance
MNA explains that two of the digits
in the tire identification number (TIN)
that identify the week and year of
manufacture were inadvertently
switched. This resulted in the tires,
which were manufactured in the second
week of 2016, being molded with a
manufacturing date of ‘‘0126’’ rather
than the correct marking of ‘‘0216,’’
contrary to the requirements specified
in paragraph S5.5.1 of FMVSS No. 139
and 49 CFR 574.5(g)(4).
IV. Rule Text
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES
Paragraph S5.5.1 of FMVSS No. 139
requires in pertinent part:
S5.5.1 Tire Identification Number.
. . .
(b) Tires manufactured on or after
September 1, 2009. Each tire must be labeled
with the tire identification number required
by 49 CFR part 574 on the intended outboard
sidewall of the tire.
49 CFR 574.5(g)(4) provides that the
fourth grouping of symbols within the
tire identification number shall
‘‘identify the week and year of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:18 Nov 01, 2016
Jkt 241001
manufacture.’’ The regulation specifies
that ‘‘[t]he first and second symbols of
the date code must identify the week of
the year,’’ and ‘‘[t]he third and fourth
symbols of the date code identify the
last two digits of the year of
manufacture.’’ Applying these
requirements, the subject tires, which
were manufactured during week 2 of
2016, should display ‘‘0216’’ as the date
code, but instead display ‘‘0126’’ as the
date code.
V. Summary of MNA’s Petition
MNA believes that this
noncompliance is inconsequential as it
relates to motor vehicle safety.
In support of its petition, MNA
submitted the following information
and analysis of the subject
noncompliance:
1. MNA stated that although the date
code is not correct, it specifies a date
well into the future and thus offers a
unique identification for the subject
tires. Furthermore, the incorrect but
unique coding has been recorded in
MNA’s records and can be used to
identify the subject tires in the event of
a future market action.
2. MNA also stated that there should
be no risk of duplication of the TIN in
the future since the current 2 digit plant
code will be replaced with a 3 digit
plant code by April 25, 2025, thus
creating a new TIN sequence prior to
week 1 of 2026 (the date inadvertently
specified on the subject tires).
3. MNA further noted that the
incorrect date code does not
compromise the ability to register the
tire. Tire registration cards accept the
date as marked (0126). Moreover, the
Uniroyal tire registration Web page
accepts the TIN with the date as
described.
4. MNA also stated that Michelin’s
consumer care team has been informed
should there be any questions from a
consumer or dealer.
5. MNA concluded by noting that all
other markings on the subject tires
conform to the applicable regulations
and meet all performance requirements
of FMVSS No. 139.
In its part 573 Report, MNA stated
that there is no imminent safety risk
associated with the mismarking.
In summation, MNA believes that the
described noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety, and that its petition, to
exempt MNA from providing
notification of the noncompliance, as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a
remedy for the noncompliance, as
required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be
granted.

NHTSA’s Decision
NHTSA’s Analysis: The agency
believes that in the case of a tire labeling
noncompliance, one measure of its
inconsequentiality to motor vehicle
safety is whether the mislabeling would
affect the manufacturer’s or consumer’s
ability to identify the mislabeled tires
properly, should the tires be recalled for
performance related noncompliance.
After review of MNA’s petition,
NHTSA believes that the mislabeling of
the date code would not create
confusion with manufacturers or
consumers should there be a recall since
MNA has taken the following measures
that would enable correct tire
registration: (1) Accepting registration
cards for tires that have an incorrectly
labeled date code, (2) accepting internet
registration through their Web page for
tires that have an incorrectly labeled
date code, and (3) informing their
consumer care team about how to
address the mislabeling in response to
customers’ inquiries.
NHTSA’s Decision: In consideration
of the foregoing, NHTSA finds that
MNA has met its burden of persuasion
that the subject FMVSS No. 139
noncompliance in the affected tires is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, MNA’s petition is hereby
granted and MNA is consequently
exempted from the obligation of
providing notification of, and a free
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, this
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject tires that MNA no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
the granting of 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 MNA notified
them that the subject noncompliance
existed.
