Notification of Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee Public Meeting-July 15, 2024 (Day One) and July 16, 2024 (Day Two), 54961-54962 [2024-14579]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 127 / Tuesday, July 2, 2024 / Notices lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 granting the petitions for temporary exemption.’’ Each petitioner states that the considerations and conclusions from the 2022 grant are still pertinent. Additional details are provided in the petitions, which may be located in the docket identified at the top of this document. Pursuant to 49 CFR 555.5(b)(7), petitioners must state why granting an exemption allowing it to install Type 1 instead of Type 2 seat belts in sidefacing seats would be in the public interest and consistent with the objectives of the Safety Act. Each petitioner states that granting an exemption would allow the petitioner the option to continue providing seat belts at side-facing seating positions that are equivalent to or exceed the safety performance of Type 2 belts under the requirements in FMVSS No. 208 (S4.4.5.1.2(c)). Each petitioner also cites NHTSA’s statements from the 2022 grant notice in which NHTSA stated that it believes that granting the petitioners’ exemption requests is consistent with the public interest and that granting the exemptions would provide relief to small businesses by providing ‘‘an objective standard that is easy for manufacturers to understand and meet.’’ In support of the petitions, each petitioner also states that only a small number of entertainer-type motorcoaches with side-facing seats are manufactured in the U.S. market each year and that the number of vehicles they would produce within any 12month period would be well below the 2,500 limit in part 555. Each petitioner also indicates that it expects to seek to renew this exemption, if granted, at the end of the exemption period. In support of this intention, each petitioner notes the agency’s apparent lack of research, testing, or analysis to justify the use of Type 2 belts on sidefacing seats in over-the-road-buses. III. Effective Date for Renewals, if Granted As noted above, under 49 CFR 555.8(e), ‘‘[i]f an application for renewal of temporary exemption that meets the requirements of § 555.5 has been filed not later than 60 days before the termination date of an exemption, the exemption does not terminate until the Administrator grants or denies the application for renewal.’’ As the current temporary exemptions for the 13 manufacturers end on June 1, 2024, and NHTSA received the petitions on April 1, 2024, the petitions were submitted by the deadline stated in 49 CFR 555.8(e). Accordingly, the exemptions will not terminate until the Administrator grants VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:34 Jul 01, 2024 Jkt 262001 or denies the applications for renewal. Since the original two-year exemptions would have expired on June 1, 2024, if granted, the new exemption period would run from June 1, 2024 until June 1, 2026. Additionally, because each petitioner cited the low number of entertainer-type motorcoaches produced each year in support of its assertion that granting the renewals would be in the public interest, NHTSA is requesting that each of the petitioners submit, during the comment period, the total number of vehicles they produced during their initial exemption period from June 1, 2022 to June 1, 2024. IV. Comment Period The agency seeks comment from the public on the merits of the petitions requesting renewals of temporary exemptions from FMVSS No. 208’s shoulder belt requirement for sidefacing seats. The petitioners seek to install lap belts at the side-facing seats; they do not seek to be completely exempted from a belt requirement. Further, the petitioners’ requests do not pertain to forward-facing designated seating positions on their vehicles. Under FMVSS No. 208, forward-facing seating positions on motorcoaches must have Type 2 lap and shoulder belts, and the petitioners are not seeking an exemption from that requirement for forward-facing seats. After considering public comments and other available information, NHTSA will publish a notice of final action on the petitions in the Federal Register. Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30113; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.5. Sophie Shulman, Deputy Administrator.
