Description:  TITLE: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Technical Corrections and 
Clarifications Related to Tires and Rims  
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation  
ACTION: Final rule  
SUMMARY: This document amends  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 109, "New 
pneumatic and certain specialty tires," in response to a petition for rulemaking from the Tire and 
Rim Association, to clarify the applicability of the FMVSSs to certain types of tires intended f or use 
on trailers. Based on a review of prior amendments to FMVSS Nos. 109 and 119, "New pneumatic 
tires for motor vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of more than 4,536 kilograms

  (10,000 pounds) and motorcycles." NHTSA concludes that it in advertently made these tires subject 
to both FMVSS Nos. 109 and 119, when it was the Agency's intent to make them subject only to 
FMVSS No. 119. This document corrects that error, and also includes nonsubstantive technical 
corrections to tire and rim regul ations.  
DATES: The effective date of this rule is 30 September 2021.  
Petitions for reconsideration: Petitions for reconsideration of this final rule must be received not later 
than 15 October 2021.  
This final rule and the notice of proposed rulemaking noti fied as G/TBT/N/ USA/1521  are identified 
by Docket Number NHTSA -2019-0074. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at

La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 4 de febrero de 2020 , se distribuye a petición de la delegación 
de Australia . 
 
_______________  
 
 
La Ley de Etiquetado y Normas relativos al Consumo de Agua de 2005  (Ley WELS) establece el 
plan de etiquetado y normas relativos al consumo de agua (WELS), por el que se aplica un sistema 
nacional de etiquetado sobre el consumo de agua y unas normas de rendim iento mínimo a 
determinados productos que consumen o ahorran agua . La Ley y el plan WELS se notificaron en 
2011 en el documento G/TBT/N/AUS/68 . El presente addendum se presenta para proporcionar 
información actualizada a los Miembros sobre el plan WELS.  
La Decisión relativa a la WELS fue modificada por la Decisión de Modificación de la Normativa 
relativa al Etiquetado y las Normas de Consumo de Agua (Normativa WELS) de 2016  (Decisión de 
Modificación de la WELS) con el fin de incorporar por referencia una nu eva norma : la Norma 
6400:2016 de Australia y Nueva Zelandia  (AS/NZS 6400 :2016).  
La Norma AS/ NZS 6400 :2016 establece las bases para la clasificación y el etiquetado de una serie 
de productos en el marco del plan de etiquetado y normas relativos al consumo d e agua (WELS) 
obligatorio, de conformidad con lo dispuesto en la Ley WELS . La Norma fue elaborada por el 
Comité Conjunto de Normas de Australia y Nueva Zelandia y sustituye a la Norma AS/ NZS 
6400:2005 . Dicha Norma se actualizó para reflejar los cambios en la Ley WELS y corregir 
ambigüedades, así como para eliminar prescripciones reemplazadas o incompatibles.  
Las principales modificaciones introducidas en esta Norma son las siguientes:  
1.  La Norma se ha dividido en 10 secciones : en las secciones 1 y 2 se enunc ian las 
prescripciones aplicables a todos los productos sujetos al etiquetado y normas relativos al 
consumo de agua (WELS), y en las secciones 3 a 10 las prescripciones correspondientes 
a cada tipo de producto.  
2.  Se han racionalizado las instrucciones de etiquetado y se ha simplificado el diseño de la 
etiqueta WELS.  
3.  Se autoriza el registro de duchas de 4 estrellas que cumplan las prescripciones relativas a 
la prueba de rendimiento adicional para duchas de bajo flu jo. 
La Decisión de Modificación de la WELS entró en vigor el 18 de agosto de 2016 .

Addendum  
La siguiente comunicación, de fecha 12 de marzo de 2020 , se distribuye a petición de la delegación 
de los Estados Unidos de América .

TÍTULO : Protección del ozono estratosférico : revisión de la ampliación del programa de gestión de 
refrigerantes a los refrigerantes de sustitución  
ORGANISMO : Agencia de Protección Ambiental (EPA)  
MEDIDA : Norma definitiva  
RESUMEN : La Ley de Protección de la Calidad del Aire prohíbe la liberación o emisión intenciona da 
de refrigerantes que agotan la capa de ozono y de refrigerantes de sustitución en operaciones de 
mantenimiento, servicio, reparación o eliminación de aparatos o en la refrigeración de procesos 
industriales . En 2016 la EPA modificó los requisitos reglame ntarios de gestión de refrigerantes y 
amplió el alcance de los requisitos que antes se aplicaban únicamente a los refrigerantes que 
contienen  sustancias que agotan la capa de ozono para abarcar los refrigerantes de sustitución 
sujetos a la prohibición de l iberación (es decir, aquellos que no han quedado exentos de dicha 
prohibición), como los hidrofluorocarburos . Conforme a la modificación de la interpretación jurídica 
en que se basó esa norma de 2016 , la medida notificada revisa algunos de esos requisitos -
concretamente, las disposiciones relativas al mantenimiento de aparatos y a los escapes en 
operaciones de reparación - de modo que solo sean aplicables a los equipos que emplean 
refrigerantes que contienen sustancias que agotan la capa de ozono.  
La norma d efinitiva notificada entra rá en vigor el 10 de abril de 2020 .
