Anthropomorphic Test Devices; SID-IIsFRG Side Impact Crash Test Dummy

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of
Transportation

On December 8, 2004, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) in the Federal Register that proposed to amend 49 CFR part 572 to
add specifications and qualification requirements for a 5^th^ percentile
adult female test dummy for use in vehicle side impact tests. In that
NPRM, NHTSA established a March 8, 2005, deadline for submission of
written comments. NHTSA has received a request from the Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers to extend the comment period \"to facilitate a
comprehensive technical evaluation of that test device and allow
manufacturers the opportunity to perform necessary fleet testing with
the proposed test device.\" In response to that request, NHTSA is
extending the comment period to April 12, 2005.

DATES: Comments must be received by April 12, 2005. Comments received
after that date will be considered to the extent possible.
