 TITLE:  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard s; Door Locks and Door Retention Components 
 AGENCY:  Department of Transportation, Na tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration 
 ACTION:  Final Rule, response to petitions for reconsideration  
SUMMARY:  This final rule delays the compliance date of the sliding door provisions of a 6 
February 2007 final rule, from 1 September 2009 to 1 September 2010. The 6 February 2007 final 
rule amended the Federal motor vehicle safety sta ndard on door locks and door retention components 
to add and update requirements a nd test procedures and to harmonize with the world's first global 
technical regulation for motor vehicles. NHTSA rece ived four petitions for reconsideration of that 
final rule, including two that requested a delay in th e effective date of the sliding door provisions of 
the rule, and others which raised concerns about some of the new test requirements and procedures. 
To accommodate manufacturers' design and producti on cycles while allowing the agency more time 
to analyze the petitions in regards to other issues, the agency is delaying the compliance date of the 
sliding door provisions of S4.2.2 until 1 September 2010.  
DATES:  Effective 1 September 2009.  Compliance is effective 1 September 2010.  Petitions for 
reconsideration must be received by NH TSA not later than 3 September 2009.

Follow-up Questions Posed by AUSTRALIA   
Concerning the Notification of JAPAN1 
 
  The following communication, dated 16 September 2010, is being circulated at the request of the Delegation of Australia.    
_______________ 
 
 
Follow-up Questions 
 
 Further to Australia's question to Japan in 2009 regarding the provisions for imported wheat 
destined for US military bases and luxury hotel s under the New Staple Food Law Enforcement 
Ordinance, Article 13-2 and the New Staple Food La w Enforcement Regulations Article 25, Australia 
request further details including:  
• What import volumes are permitted under each of these instruments? 
 
• Can Japan explain the eligibility require ments needed to access these provisions? 
  Japan will recall its response to Australia's qu estions regarding the ALIC's role in importing 
sugar into Japan.  Australia noted that Japan's reply set out in G/STR/Q1/JPN/9 asserted that ALIC is 
not an STE for sugar, but still collects revenue in connection with the importa tion of sugar for those 
importers seeking preferential market access.  
 
• Can Japan explain whether it considers the re venue collected by ALIC to be "other 
duties and charges (ODC)"?

RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LES ACTIVITÉS PERTINENTES 
 
Déclaration faite par le Malawi à la réunion des 17 et 18 mars 2010
 
  
 La communication ci-après, reçue le 17 mars 2010, est distribuée à la demande de la 
délégation du Malawi
. 
 
_______________ 
  
1. Le projet soutenu par la Confédération des syndicats agricoles d'Afrique australe (SACAU) a 
contribué à mieux faire connaître aux petits exploitants le processus d'élaboration des normes et 
l'incidence de celles-ci sur le commerce international. 
2. Le volume des exportations de produits satis faisant aux normes des marchés d'exportation a 
considérablement augmenté, ce qui a entraîné une entrée de devises.  L'Association nationale des 
petits propriétaires du Malawi (NASFAM) a ainsi en registré une augmentation des devises d'environ 
410 pour cent. 
3. Un atelier SPS a été organisé au Malawi en 2008.  Toutes les parties prenantes étaient invitées 
à y assister pour examiner les questions SPS, y compris l'outil d'évaluation des capacités phytosanitaires. 
4. Un atelier financé par la SACAU sur la part icipation des petits exploitants au processus 
d'élaboration des normes, qui a eu lieu en octobre 2009, a permis à ceux-ci d'apprécier à quel point les normes étaient la pierre angulaire d'un commerce efficace.   
5. Le Syndicat des agriculteurs du Malawi (FUM) et la NASFAM ont organisé un atelier sur les 
questions SPS et les normes applicables aux produits agricoles.  Cet atelier a également été financé 
par la SACAU. 
6. Une meilleure compréhension des normes a in cité la NASFAM à acquérir des machines à 
décortiquer les arachides, des installations de  transformation des céréales et une usine de 
transformation des piments. 
7. Le gouvernement du Malawi tient à remercier ComM ark Trust d'avoir financé la participation 
de sa délégation aux réuni ons du Comité SPS de l'OMC qui ont eu lieu à Genève (Suisse), ainsi que 
les trois ateliers qui se sont déroulés dans le pays. 
8. La législation régissant les questions SPS doit être mise à jour, et l'Organisation des 
Nations Unies pour l'alimentation et l'agriculture (F AO) aide le gouvernement du Malawi à actualiser 
les textes pertinents, comme la Loi sur la préservation des végétaux. G/SPS/GEN/1013 
Page 2  
 
  9. Le Malawi compte quelques laboratoires permetta nt d'identifier les parasites et les maladies, 
mais il souhaiterait que ceux-ci soient accrédités, rénovés et modernisés. 
10. Le nouveau gouvernement malawien a adopté une politique consistant à faire passer le 
Malawi de pays importateur et consommateur à pays  producteur et exportateur.  L'accent est donc mis 
sur la production et l'exportation de pr oduits agricoles de très grande qualité. 
11. Il est urgent de renforcer les capacités du Mala wi dans le domaine SPS.  Ce renforcement des 
capacités doit notamment être réalisé dans les secteu rs suivants:  ressources humaines, infrastructure, 
technologies de l'information et des communicati ons, laboratoires, véhicules automobiles et 
motocycles, etc.
