Department of Transportation April 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2005-07-01, which was published in the Federal Register on March 25, 2005 (70 FR 15223), and applies to all the Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 208 and 208B airplanes. We incorrectly referenced the affected airplane models as C208 and C208B throughout the document. The correct airplane models are 208 and 208B. This action corrects the regulatory text.

This final rule establishes a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) requiring installation of a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) capable of detecting when one or more of a vehicle's tires is significantly under-inflated. This final rule responds to a mandate in the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability, and Documentation (TREAD) Act. This final rule requires installation in all new light vehicles of a TPMS capable of detecting when one or more of the vehicle's tires, up to all four tires, is 25 percent or more below the manufacturer's recommended inflation pressure (placard pressure) or a minimum activation pressure specified in the standard, whichever is higher.
