Speed Measuring Device Conformity—
RADAR
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of Transition of the
NHTSA managed Down The Road (DTR)
Radar Speed Measuring Device (SMD)
Conforming Products List (CPL)
program to an industry-based
Verification Program.
AGENCY:
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
provides notice to the public that the
Conforming Products List (CPL)
maintained and updated by NHTSA for
Down The Road (DTR) radar speed
measuring devices will be discontinued.
A new industry-based product
Verification Program has been
developed to confirm that DTR radar
speed measuring devices conform to
certain minimum specifications. The
new industry-based product Verification
Program will provide manufacturers the
flexibility to confirm conformance with
any testing entity as long as the entity
can fulfill the requirements for testing
and verifying device compliance with
the established performance
specifications, testing protocols and
laboratory accreditation requirements of
the industry-based Verification Program.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00196
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
92281
To afford manufacturers time to
transition to the new program, NHTSA
will maintain the CPL for one year after
the date of this notice.
Under the new Verification Program,
a DTR radar speed measuring device
manufacturer can use an accredited
testing entity to verify that its speed
measuring device conforms to an
established performance standard and
will be placed on a verified products list
maintained by the Verification Program.
Please refer to the NIST website for a list
of available Verification Programs:
https://www.nist.gov/mml/mmsd/
security-technologies-group/down-roaddtr-radar. The new Verification Program
will provide manufacturers with a
proven method of demonstrating
compliance to the minimum
performance specifications, will
empower end-users to make better
purchasing decisions, and benefit
manufacturers as products can quickly
gain market acceptance.
Accordingly, as of the date of this
publication, NHTSA will no longer
perform CPL processing under the
Interim Administrative Guide for the
Traffic Enforcement Technologies
Program.
Comments are due by within 30
days of this announcement.
