TITLE:  Federal Motor Vehicle Safety St andards; Designated Seating Positions 
 AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administ ration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation 
(DOT)  
ACTION:  Final rule; partial respon se to petitions for reconsideration 
 SUMMARY:  This document responds, in part, to petitions for reconsideration of an October 2008 
final rule that amended the defin ition of the term, “designated seating position,” as used in the Federal 
motor vehicle safety standards, to clarify which ar eas within the interior of a vehicle meet that 
definition. 
 The final rule made the new definition applicable  to vehicles manufactured on and after 1 September 
2010. The agency received petitions for reconsiderati on asking for additional time to comply with the 
new requirements. This final rule provides one additi onal year of lead time until the new definition is 
applicable. 
 
In the regulatory text of that final rule, we in cluded language declaring that any State requirement, 
including any determination under State tort law,  premised on there being more designated seating 
positions than the number contemplated in our defi nition, would prevent, hinder or frustrate the 
accomplishment of the purposes of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in Part 571 of this 
title, and thus would be pre-empted by this regul ation. The petitions for reconsideration sought 
removal of this pre-emption language from the regulat ory text. This final rule grants that request by 
removing the portion of the regulatory text stating that State tort law requirements are pre-empted. 
 This final rule also makes a technical correction to  the regulatory text of the rule setting forth the 
formula for calculating the number of designated seating positions, the need for which was noted in 
several of the petitions for reconsideration.  The remaining issues raised in the petitions for reconsideration (clari fication or change to the manner 
in which the number of designated seating positions in a vehicle are calculated, procedural issues 
regarding measuring seating surfaces, countermeasur es, and other technical corrections) will be 
addressed in a separate notice.

  DATES: The effective date of this final rule is 22 February 2010.  Petitions for reconsideration must 
be received not later than 8 February 2010.  Full text:  http://edocket.access.gpo. gov/2009/E9-30440.htm

 Question n° 1
 
  Concernant le programme n° 8 "Mécanisme de financement structuré", le Canada 
pourrait-il confirmer que tous les navires "con struits dans les chantiers navals canadiens 
existants" seront considérés comm e de nouveaux navires construits au Canada, quels que soient 
les propriétaires ou les actionnaires des chantiers navals? 
 
Réponse
 
  Le Mécanisme de financement structuré (MFS) s'adresse aux établissements de crédit qui assurent le financement de la construction de nouveaux navires ou d'une m odification importante des 
navires existants dans des chantiers navals situés  au Canada.  La nationa lité du propriétaire d'un 
chantier naval canadien n'entre pas en ligne de co mpte pour bénéficier d'un financement au titre du 
MFS.  Les navires construits dans les chantiers navals canadiens sont considérés comme des navires 
construits au Canada, que les chan tiers navals où ces navires sont  construits appartiennent à des 
Canadiens ou à des non-Canadiens.  Question n° 2
 
  Veuillez fournir des renseignements co mplémentaires sur le nombre de navires 
construits au Canada et exportés dans le cadre de ce programme et sur leur valeur contractuelle 
totale. 
 
Réponse
 
 
 Depuis la mise en place du MFS (septembre 2001) , 16 navires pour les quels un financement a 
été obtenu au titre de ce programme ont été exportés.   Leur valeur contractuelle totale est de 
498 millions de dollars.  Question n° 3
 
  Le Canada peut-il préciser les effe ts de ce programme sur le commerce? 
 
Réponse
 
  Compte tenu de la nature du MFS, le Canada  estime que les effets de ce programme sur les 
courants d'échanges sont négligeables.  Le MFS a pour objectif d'aider à faire en sorte que les 
chantiers navals aient les capacités nécessaires pour répondre aux besoins du gouvernement fédéral en 
matière d'achats et de maintenance en ce qui concerne les navires et les ouvrages maritimes.

4. Products covered (HS or CCCN where applicable, otherwise national tariff heading. 
ICS numbers may be provided in  addition, where applicable):   Plant Viral Coat Proteins 
(HS:  2920;  ICS:  65.100) 
5. Title, number of pages and langua ge(s) of the notified document:   Exemption from the 
Requirement of a Tolerance under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for Residues 
of Plant Virus Coat Proteins that are Part of  a Plant-Incorporated Protectant (PVC-Proteins); 
Supplemental Proposal (21 pages, in English). 
6. Description of content:   EPA is proposing to exempt from the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) section 408 requirement of  a tolerance, residues of coat proteins 
from viruses that naturally infect plants that  humans consume when such coat proteins are 
produced in living plants as part of a plant- incorporated protectant (PIP) and the criteria 
proposed for this exemption are met.  EPA believes there is a reasonable certainty that no 
harm will result from aggregate exposure to such  residues, including all anticipated dietary 
exposures and all other exposures for which ther e is reliable information.  This proposed 
exemption would eliminate the need to establis h a maximum permissible level in food for 
these residues. 
7. Objective and rationale, including the na ture of urgent problems where applicable:  
Protection of human life and health 
8. Relevant documents:   72 Federal Register (FR) 19640 18 April 2007; Title 40 Code of
