Description:  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Side Impact Protection, Ejection Mitigation; 
Technical Corrections  
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation  
ACTION: Final rule; technical corrections  
SUMMARY: This  final rule corrects errors in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 214, 
"Side impact protection," and in FMVSS No. 226, "Ejection mitigation." The error occurred in FMVSS 
No. 214 when an amendment to FMVSS No. 214 was transcribed into the Cod e of Federal 
Regulations. The error to FMVSS No. 226 arose as a result of a drafting error when NHTSA issued 
FMVSS No. 226. This final rule amends the standards to reflect the intent of the Agency when it 
issued the standards.
