33617 Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 106 / Tuesday, June 2, 2020 / Proposed Rules 
1NHTSA–2019–0023–0004. HHS has operated risk adjustment for all 
50 states and the District of Columbia. 
In our view, while this proposed rule 
would not impose substantial direct requirement costs on state and local governments, it has federalism implications due to direct effects on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the state and Federal Governments relating to determining standards about health insurance that is offered in the individual and small group markets. 
IX. Reducing Regulation and 
Controlling Regulatory Costs 
Executive Order 13771 requires that 
the costs associated with significant new regulations ‘‘to the extent permitted by law, be offset by the elimination of existing costs associated with at least two prior regulations.’’ This proposed rule is not subject to the requirements of Executive Order 13771 because it is expected to result in no more than de minimis costs. 
X. Conclusion 
In accordance with the provisions of 
Executive Order 12866, this regulation 
was reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Re-Opening of the Comment Period 
On December 26, 2019, NHTSA 
published a NPRM (84 FR 70916) to revise the chest jacket and spine box specifications for the Hybrid III 5th Percentile Female Test Dummy (HIII– 5F) set forth in Part 572, Anthropomorphic Test Devices. NHTSA proposed to adopt the jacket specifications described in SAE J2921, as well as several additional specifications for the jacket’s contour that are not contained in SAE J2921. The NPRM comment period closed on February 24, 2020. Humanetics has requested a ninety-day extension to the NPRM comment period in order to collect data regarding the proposed additional chest jacket specifications while also ensuring a sufficient sample size. This request can be found in the docket for this rulemaking.
1 
NHTSA has considered Humanetics’ 
request and believes that re-opening the comment period for 60 days appropriately balances NHTSA’s interest in providing the public with sufficient time to comment on the notice with its interest in completing this rulemaking in a timely manner. Accordingly, we are re-opening the comment period on the NPRM for an additional 60 days.

249 CFR 553.21. sets of dimensions and tolerances were 
proposed for the unworn jacket (on a table top) and the jacket as worn by an actual HIII–5F dummy. The nominal dimensions and tolerances proposed in the NPRM were derived from a sample of eight SAE jackets measured by NHTSA. The ‘‘as worn’’ measurements were taken in combination with various HIII–5F dummies, including older units (4 built by FTSS, 1 built by Denton) and newer units (2 built by Humanetics). Measurements were carried out at two different test labs. 
In the NPRM, we stated that we 
would continue to collect measurement data on newly purchased jackets to check whether the proposed dimensions and tolerances (including those derived from the drawings in SAE J2921 and the new section dimensions added by NHTSA) were being met by SAE jackets already in the field. We also stated that we would examine all measurement data provided to us, and explained that in the final rule we may adjust the dimensions and tolerances to assure that jackets in the field achieve an acceptable degree of conformity while still assuring a high level of uniformity. 
NHTSA has developed the procedure 
described in the docketed document, Measurement Procedure: Chest Jacket Dimensions, Hybrid III 5th Female Test Dummy, for NHTSA staff and 
contractors to use in measuring SAE chest jackets, both unworn and as fitted to HIII–5F units, including new units built by Humanetics and older units built by FTSS and Denton. NHTSA will use these measurements to assess the uniformity of SAE jackets and to determine the jacket dimensions and tolerances to be specified in the Final Rule. The purpose of the procedures described in the docketed document is to ensure that these measurements are taken in a consistent manner. This measurement procedure should not be construed as a proposed requirement for conformity with Part 572 Subpart O, nor should it be construed as a configuration requirement for use of the dummy in NCAP or any FMVSS. NHTSA is docketing a copy of this document for the information of others who may wish to make similar measurements of the SAE jacket.
