Notice of OFAC Sanctions Action, 14327-14328 [2022-05342]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 49 / Monday, March 14, 2022 / Notices jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 NHTSA has rejected petitions based on the assertion that only a small percentage of vehicles or items of equipment are likely to actually exhibit a noncompliance. The percentage of potential occupants that could be adversely affected by a noncompliance does not determine the question of inconsequentiality. Rather, the issue to consider is the consequence to an occupant who is exposed to the consequence of that noncompliance.5 These considerations are also relevant when considering whether a defect is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. NHTSA notes that DTNA misquoted the decision language pertaining to a prior inconsequential noncompliance petition (83 FR 7847) by adding ‘‘The Agency agrees with GM that in this case’’ prior to the original statement. NHTSA does not consider this addition accurate. The noncompliance, in the DTNA case currently being considered, is that the stop lamp illuminates when a braking system low air pressure warning indicator light is illuminated, regardless of whether the service brakes are applied.6 As the subject trucks have two air brake systems, which split the trailer brakes from the steer axle brakes, low air pressure will cause a brake application only if air pressure is lost in both systems. Should only one of the two air brake systems report low air pressure, the parking brakes would not engage but the stop lamps would illuminate in addition to the low air warning indicator light, which includes an audible alarm. The Agency believes that an alert would prompt the operator to safely pull over and/or attempt to slow/stop the truck soon after the warnings appear. In that case, the noncompliance would only result in a momentary illumination of the stop lamps without the brakes being applied. If the driver of a subject vehicle did not apply the brakes immediately after receiving a low air pressure warning, following drivers would be presented with a false indication that the subject truck was braking. Further, should there be an air leak, application of the service brakes will cause the air pressure to potentially dangerous as sudden engine fire, and where there is no dispute that at least some such hazards, in this case fires, can definitely be expected to occur in the future’’). 5 See Gen. Motors Corp.; Ruling on Petition for Determination of Inconsequential Noncompliance, 69 FR 19897, 19900 (Apr. 14, 2004); Cosco Inc.; Denial of Application for Decision of Inconsequential Noncompliance, 64 FR 29408, 29409 (June 1, 1999). 6 Per FMVSS No. 108, stop lamps should only be activated upon activation of the service brakes, or a device intended to retard the movement of the vehicle. See FMVSS No. 108, Table I–a. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Mar 11, 2022 Jkt 256001 further drop, braking performance may be impacted, and it is also possible that the system will no longer be able to achieve proper pressure, which subsequently may cause the parking brakes to engage. As the function of a stop lamp is to notify other road users that a vehicle is stopping and/or slowing down, a vehicle equipped with an air braking system where the low air pressure warning on the instrument cluster along with an audible warning has been activated will likely prompt the driver to immediately pull over and/ or attempt to slow/stop the vehicle. A previous NHTSA interpretation concerning trailer stop lamp illumination, requested by Wabash National Corporation, explained that the stop lamps were permitted to be illuminated in the event that the emergency braking system was activated when significant deceleration could occur.7 NHTSA does not agree with DTNA’s argument that the activation of the stop lamps when the low air pressure warning occurs would be helpful for a warning other drivers of the brake malfunction. Nonetheless, NHTSA still believes this noncompliance would be inconsequential to safety. This is because when a vehicle with air brakes experiences a low-air event and notifies the driver of a brake system malfunction, NHTSA believes that the driver would likely respond by pulling over to the side of the road and taking the vehicle out of service until the brake system can be repaired. Because the act of pulling over to the side of the road would result in the intentional activation of the stop lamps and this sequence of events would likely occur only once before the vehicle is repaired, NHTSA believes that the activation of the brake lamps due to the low air pressure event would be inconsequential to safety. VII. NHTSA’s Decision In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA finds that DTNA has met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 108 noncompliance in the affected trucks is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, DTNA’s petition is hereby granted and DTNA 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 7 https://isearch.nhtsa.gov/files/22036.ztv.html. PO 00000 Frm 00091 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 14327 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 only applies to the subject trucks that DTNA no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, the granting of this petition does not relieve truck distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of the noncompliant trucks under their control after DTNA notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.
