Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 26, 2024 / Notices S5.5(f) of FMVSS No. 139, New Pneumatic Radial Tires For Light Vehicles (49 CFR 571.139). MNA filed an original noncompliance report dated April 14, 2023, and later amended the report on July 3, 2023, pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. MNA petitioned NHTSA on April 17, 2023, and later amended the petition on July 6, 2023, 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, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or Noncompliance. This notice of receipt of MNA’s petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or another exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition. II. Tires Involved: Approximately 7,153 Michelin LTX AT2 tires sized LT275/65R20 and 126/123R, manufactured between January 15, 2023, and February 8, 2023, were reported by the manufacturer. III. Noncompliance: MNA explains that the subject tires contain incorrect information regarding the general name of cord materials and actual number of plies on the intended outboard sidewall of the tires, and therefore, do not fully comply with paragraphs S5.5(e) and S5.5(f) of FMVSS No. 139. Specifically, the sidewall of the subject tires states ‘‘TREAD PLIES: 2 POLYESTER + 2 STEEL SIDEWALL PLIES: 2 POLYESTER,’’ when they should state ‘‘TREAD PLIES: 2 POLYESTER + 1 POLYAMIDE + 2 STEEL SIDEWALL PLIES: 2 POLYESTER.’’ IV. Rule Requirements: Paragraphs S5.5(e) and S5.5(f) of FMVSS No. 139 include the requirements relevant to this petition. Except as specified in paragraphs (a) through (i) of S5.5, each tire must be marked on each sidewall with the information specified in S5.5(a) through (d) and on one sidewall with the information specified in S5.5(e) through (i) according to the phase-in schedule specified in S7 of this standard. The markings must be placed between the maximum section width and the bead on at least one sidewall, unless the maximum section width of the tire is located in an area that is not more than one-fourth of the distance from the bead to the shoulder of the tire. If the maximum section width falls within that area, those markings must appear between the bead and a point one-half the distance from the bead to VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:10 Mar 25, 2024 Jkt 262001 the shoulder of the tire, on at least one sidewall. The markings must be in letters and numerals not less than 0.078 inches high and raised above or sunk below the tire surface not less than 0.015 inches. Paragraph S5.5(e) requires that the sidewall be marked with the generic name of each cord material used in the plies (both sidewall and tread area) of the tire, and paragraph S5.5(f) requires that the sidewall be marked with the actual number of plies in the sidewall, and the actual number of plies in the tread area, if different. V. Summary of MNA’s Petition: The following views and arguments presented in this section, ‘‘V. Summary of MNA’s Petition,’’ are the views and arguments provided by MNA. They have not been evaluated by the Agency and do not reflect the views of the Agency. MNA describes the subject noncompliance and contends that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety. MNA explains that the subject noncompliance occurred as a result of an error made by a maintenance employee at the manufacturing site. On January 15, 2023, the employee accidentally used the incorrect plaquette when replacing a loose one in a mold for the subject tire. A tire verification employee noticed a gap in the information in the tread plies plaquette on the intended outboard side of the tire and notified the Quality team. MNA says that its internal investigation revealed that of the 7,997 tires produced, approximately 813 affected tires were identified and contained and approximately 598 affected tires (8 percent) of the production during this time period had entered the U.S. market. MNA asserts that the subject tires comply with all applicable FMVSS tire safety performance standards and they are marked with the correct tire size information, including the load range and maximum single and dual loads at the specified pressures. Further, MNA says that the subject tires were tested and passed all applicable FMVSS No. 139 performance tests. MNA says that it has taken corrective measures and removed the incorrect plaquette from the mold used on the subject tires and replaced it with the correct plaquette. MNA contends that NHTSA has found petitions for similar noncompliances to be inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. MNA provides the following examples: 1. Michelin North America, Inc., NHTSA docket number 2020–0092, granted 7 February 2022 PO 00000 Frm 00232 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 21171 2. Hankook Tire America Corporation, NHTSA docket number 2020–0020, granted 21 January 2022 3. Continental Tire the Americas, LLC, NHTSA docket number 2017–0040, granted 30 July 2018 4. Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd., NHTSA docket number 2017–0071, granted 26 March 2018 5. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, NHTSA docket number 2016–0107, granted 17 April 2017 MNA concludes by stating its belief that the subject noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety and its petition 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 this petition only applies to the subject tires that MNA no longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve tires 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.
