 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Door Locks and Door Retention Components 
 Agency: National Highway Traffic Safety Administ ration, Department of Transportation (NHTSA). 
 
Action: Final rule.  
 Summary:  We are amending our safety st andard on door locks and door retention 
components in order to add and update requirement s and test procedures and to harmonize with the 
world's first global technical regulation for motor vehi cles.  Today's final rule adds test requirements 
and test procedures for sliding doors, adds sec ondary latched position requi rements for doors other 
than hinged side doors and back doors,  provides a new optional test procedure for assessing inertial 
forces, and extends the application of the standa rd to buses with a gross vehicle weight rating 
(GVWR) of less than 10,000 pounds, including 12- 15 passenger vans.  Today's final rule also 
eliminates an exclusion from the requirements of  the standard for doors equipped with wheelchair 
platform lifts.

SIXTH SESSION OF THE MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE 
 
Request for Observer Status by th e Andean Development Corporation  
 
Communication from the Chairman 
 
  At the General Council meeting on 1, 2 and 6 December, I informed delegations that, since 
the last Council meeting, the Secretariat had receive d a request for observer status at the Hong Kong 
Ministerial Conference from the Andean Developmen t Corporation (CAF), which currently did not 
have observer status in any WTO body.  I ha d invited delegations wi shing to consult the 
communication received from this organization to c ontact the External Relations Division of the 
Secretariat, and had proposed, in regard to the re quest, that we proceed in exactly the same way as in 
the past with regard to requests from other IGOs for observer status at Ministerial Conferences who were neither observers in the Gene ral Council nor in other WTO bodies. 
 
 Accordingly, I had proposed that, unless an objection was received by the Secretariat from 
any Member by 7 December, this organization be granted observer status at the Hong Kong Ministerial.  I indicated that I would inform dele gations in a written communication as to the situation 
regarding this request after the deadline of 7 December.  
 I wish now to inform delegations that a reservation having been received by the Secretariat on 
behalf of a group of Members within this deadline, there is no consensus at this stage to grant the 
request from the Andean Development Corporation.
