Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids
Document Number: 2018-27796
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2018-12-26
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
NHTSA withdraws its notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), published on February 3, 2010, proposing amendments to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 116, Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids. Since publication of the NPRM and after review of the comments, the agency has determined that updates and corrections outside the scope of the notice are necessary in order to publish a final rule. Based on this, the agency has decided to withdraw the proposal to amend FMVSS No. 116.
Temporary Exemption From Motor Vehicle Safety and Bumper Standards
Document Number: 2018-27795
Type: Rule
Date: 2018-12-26
Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
This document amends NHTSA's regulation on temporary exemption from the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and bumper standards to expedite the publishing of notices soliciting public comment on exemption petitions. It does so by eliminating the provision calling for the Agency to determine that a petition is complete before the Agency publishes a notice summarizing the petition and soliciting public comments on it. As amended, the regulation continues to provide that the Agency will, as it does now, determine whether a petition contains adequate justification in deciding whether to grant or deny the petition. The intended effect of these changes is to enable the Agency to solicit public comments more quickly.
