noncompliances inconsequential.1
Potential performance failures of safetycritical equipment, like seat belts or air
bags, are rarely deemed inconsequential.
An important issue to consider in
determining inconsequentiality based
upon NHTSA’s prior decisions on
noncompliance issues was the safety
risk to individuals who experience the
type of event against which the recall
would otherwise protect.2 In general,
NHTSA does not consider the absence
of complaints or injuries to show that
the issue is inconsequential to safety.
‘‘Most importantly, the absence of a
complaint does not mean there have not
been any safety issues, nor does it mean
that there will not be safety issues in the
future.’’ 3 ‘‘[T]he fact that in past
reported cases good luck and swift
reaction have prevented many serious
injuries does not mean that good luck
will continue to work.’’ 4
Arguments that only a small number
of vehicles or items of motor vehicle
equipment are affected have also not
justified granting an inconsequentiality
petition.5 Similarly, NHTSA has
rejected petitions based on the assertion
that only a small percentage of vehicles

hazards, in this case fires, can definitely be
expected to occur in the future’’).

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.6
These considerations are also relevant
when considering whether a defect is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
FCA explains that the noncompliance
is that the subject vehicles’ tire placard
label erroneously states the seating
capacity as seven occupants rather than
eight occupants, and shows a combined
occupant and cargo weight of 1,150 lbs.
rather than 1,240 lbs. as required by
paragraph S4.3 of FMVSS No. 110.
NHTSA has reviewed and accepts
FCA’s analyses and supporting
documentation that the noncompliance
is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety. FCA has provided sufficient
documentation that other than the
placard/labeling error, the vehicles
comply with all other safety
performance requirements of FMVSS
110. If owners were to follow the
information on the label, there would be
no risk of overloading the vehicle’s tires.
While the tire and loading placards
incorrectly indicate the number of
seating positions and the calculated
weight capacity, the subject labeling
error alone poses little if any risk to
motor vehicle safety since the number of
seating positions is readily apparent in
the subject vehicles. The rear seating of
the affected vehicles contains six seat
belt assemblies and provides adequate
space for six people to occupy the rear
seats. In addition, all information
required for maintaining and/or
replacing the front and rear tires is
located on the vehicle placard of the
affected vehicles.
VIII. NHTSA’s Decision
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA finds that FCA has met its
burden of persuasion that the subject
FMVSS No. 110 noncompliance in the
affected vehicles is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Accordingly,
FCA’s petition is hereby granted and
FCA 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.

Determination of Inconsequential Noncompliance,
69 FR 19897, 19900 (Apr. 14, 2004); Cosco Inc.;

Inconsequential Noncompliance, 64 FR 29408,
29409 (June 1, 1999).

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 only applies to the subject
vehicles that FCA 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 vehicles under their
control after FCA notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

Program, the renewal and new applicant
supportive services grant application
processes, and the amount of funding
available. Awards made for supportive
services grants will fund operations
beginning October 1, 2024.
DATES: Applications for supportive
services grants under the SSVF Program

Office by 4 p.m. eastern time on
February 23, 2024. In the interest of
fairness to all competing applicants, this
deadline is firm as to date and hour, and
VA will treat as ineligible for
consideration any application that is

should take this practice into account
and make early submissions of their
materials to avoid any risk of loss of
eligibility brought about by
unanticipated delays, computer service
outages or other submission-related
problems.

Supportive Services for Veteran
Families Program.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
A. Purpose: The SSVF Program’s
purpose is to provide supportive
services grants to private non-profit
organizations and consumer
cooperatives who will coordinate or
provide supportive services to very lowincome Veteran families who (i) are
residing in permanent housing and at
risk of becoming homeless, (ii) are
homeless and scheduled to become
residents of permanent housing within
a specified time period or (iii) after
exiting permanent housing within a
specified time period, are seeking other
housing that is responsive to such very
low-income Veteran family’s needs and
preferences.
SSVF delivers services using a
housing-first approach that emphasizes
permanent housing placement as the
primary objective. Housing First is an
evidence-based, cost-effective approach
to ending homelessness for the most
vulnerable and chronically homeless
individuals (see B5_USICH_Housing_
First_Checklist.pdf (va.gov).
SSVF prioritizes the delivery of rapid
re-housing services to homeless Veteran
households. Rapid re-housing is an
intervention designed to help
individuals and families quickly exit
homelessness, return to housing in the
community, and avoid homelessness
again in the near term. The core
components of a rapid re-housing
program are housing identification,
move-in and rent financial assistance,
and rapid re-housing case management
and services. These core components
represent the minimum that a program
must provide to households to be
considered a rapid re-housing program.
Applicants should familiarize
themselves with the Homelessness
Prevention and Rapid Re-housing Best
Practice Standards found at
www.va.gov/HOMELESS/SSVF.
B. Funding Priorities: The principal
goal of this NOFA is to seek entities that
have the greatest capacity to end
homelessness among Veterans or sustain
gains made in ending homelessness
among Veterans. Priority will be given
to grantees who can demonstrate the
adoption of evidence-based practices in
their application. Under Priority 1, VA
will provide funding to existing grantees
who have at least one of the following
accreditations: 3-year accreditation from
the Commission on Accreditation of
