Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 164 / Friday, August 25, 2023 / Notices
a safety concern that was intended to be
addressed by handrail requirements.
Ricon says that, like the
noncompliance found in the Braun
Corporation’s petition, ‘‘there is little to
no risk of harm or injury’’ caused by the
subject noncompliances. Ricon then
reiterates that it is unlikely an operator
would simultaneously activate the
buttons that control the lift functions
and if simultaneous activation of the
‘‘STOW’’/‘‘DEPLOY’’ buttons or the
‘‘UP’’/‘‘DOWN,’’ did occur, the lift does
not respond in a way that would
compromise the safety of the occupant.
Likewise, Ricon claims, the
noncompliant slope of the outer barrier
‘‘is not sufficiently different’’ from the
required slope ratio that it would cause
‘‘a noticeable change to the user.’’
Last, Ricon states that ‘‘[i]t is not
aware of any claims or injury involving
the performance of the control pendant,
outer barrier slope, or operator manual
or label wording.’’
In its petition, Navistar explains that
due to the FMVSS No. 403
noncompliances found in the subject
lifts, the subject school and commercial
buses manufactured by Navistar are
noncompliant with paragraph S4.1.4 of
FMVSS No. 404. Navistar says that the
subject buses meet all other
requirements found in FMVSS No. 404.
Navistar states that it ‘‘incorporates
and adopts the information from Ricon’s
Petition’’ and also says it has not
received any complaints or other notices
nor is it aware of any accidents, injuries,
or warranty claims related to the
noncompliances occurring in the subject
lifts.
Ricon and Navistar conclude their
petitions by stating that the subject
noncompliances are inconsequential as
they relate to motor vehicle safety and
that their petitions to be exempted 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 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 these petitions only applies
to the subject equipment and vehicles
that the petitioners no longer controlled
at the time they determined that the
noncompliance existed. However, any
decision on these petitions does not

relieve equipment and vehicle
distributors and dealers of the
prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale,
or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant equipment and
vehicles under their control after Ricon
and Navistar notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.
