On
September 19, 2024, NHTSA published
an NPRM proposing a new Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
which would establish a head-to-hood
impact test and performance
requirements to minimize the risk of
pedestrian head injury. The comment
period for the NPRM was scheduled to
end on November 18, 2024.
On October 17, 2024, NHTSA
received a request for a 30-day
extension of the comment period from
the Alliance of Automotive Innovation
(Auto Innovators). The requestor stated
that additional time is necessary to
conduct a detailed review of the NPRM
and provide constructive feedback on
the proposal. Auto Innovators also
stated it would need to conduct a
detailed review of the accompanying
preliminary regulatory impact analysis
(PRIA), which was published in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

docket after the NPRM. Auto Innovators
noted that the extension would be used
to evaluate the practicability and
complexity of the design changes (and
corresponding lead time) needed to
meet the proposed requirements, and
more fully evaluate the regulatory
impact and unanticipated costs.
Agency Decision
Pursuant to 49 CFR 553.19 and after
thorough consideration of this request,
NHTSA has determined that the
requestor has provided sufficient
justification for an extension, and that
the extension is consistent with the
public interest. NHTSA agrees that
allowing additional time for the public
and its stakeholders to provide robust
and substantive comments on these
complex issues will better inform
NHTSA. The agency believes a 30-day
extension will provide the public with
sufficient time to review the docket and
comment on the complex questions
raised in the NPRM. Accordingly,
NHTSA is granting the aforementioned
request and extending the comment
period by 30 days.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322, 30111, 30115,
