SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS, and has no 

substantially similar U.S.-certified 

counterpart, shall be refused admission 

into the United States unless NHTSA 

has decided that the motor vehicle has 

safety features that comply with, or are 

capable of being altered to comply with, 

all applicable FMVSS based on 

destructive test data or such other 

evidence as NHTSA decides to be 

adequate. 

Petitions for eligibility decisions may 

be submitted by either manufacturers or 


srobinson on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 50 / Tuesday, March 15, 2011 / Notices 14117 

importers who have registered with 

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As 

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

of each petition that it receives, and 

affords interested persons an 

opportunity to comment on the petition. 

At the close of the comment period, 

NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 

petition and any comments that it has 

received, whether the vehicle is eligible 

for importation. The agency then 

publishes this decision in the Federal 

Register. 

Skytop Rover, Co. (Skytop) of 

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Registered 

Importer 06–343) has petitioned NHTSA 

to decide whether nonconforming 2002 

Kawasaki Ninja ZX–6R motorcycles are 

eligible for importation into the United 

States. Skytop contends that these 

vehicles are eligible for importation 

under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because 

they have safety features that comply 

with, or are capable of being altered to 

comply with, all applicable FMVSS. 

In its petition, Skytop described the 

nonconforming 2002 Kawasaki Ninja 

ZX–6R as the same model as the U.S.- 

certified 2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX–6R. 

Because the Ninja ZX–6R model was 

introduced in countries other than the 

U.S. as a new model before the 

introduction of the U.S-certified version 

in 2003, the petitioner acknowledged 

that it could not base its petition on the 

substantial similarity of the 2002 

Kawasaki Ninja ZX–6R to the U.S.- 

certified 2003 Kawasaki Ninja ZX–6R 

motorcycles due to the model year 

discrepancy and the petitioning 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

30141(a)(1)(A), as set forth in 49 CFR 

part 593. Instead, the petitioner chose to 

establish import eligibility on the basis 

that the vehicles have safety features 

that comply with, or are capable of 

being modified to comply with, the 

FMVSS based on destructive test data or 

such other evidence that NHTSA 

decides to be adequate as set forth in 49 

U.S.C part 30141(a)(1)(B). The petitioner 

contends that the 2002 Kawasaki Ninja 

ZX–6R utilizes the same components as 

the U.S.-certified 2003 Kawasaki Ninja 

ZX–6R motorcycles in virtually all of 

the systems subject to the applicable 

FMVSS. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

2002 Kawasaki Ninja ZX–6R 

motorcycles have safety features that 

comply with Standard Nos. 106 Brake 

Hoses, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid, 

119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles 

Other than Passenger Cars, 122 

Motorcycle Brake Systems, and 205 

Glazing Materials. 

The petitioner further contends that 

the vehicles are capable of being altered 

to comply with the following standards, 

in the manner indicated: 

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective 

Devices and Associated Equipment: 

inspection of all vehicles and 

replacement of the following with U.S.- 

certified components on vehicles not 

already so equipped: (a) Headlamps; (b) 

front and rear side-mounted reflex 

reflectors; (c) rear-mounted reflex 

reflector; (d) tail lamp assembly 

(including stoplamp, taillamp, and 

license plate lamp); and (e) front and 

rear turn signal lamps. 

Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: 

inspection of all vehicles and 

installation of U.S.-model rearview 

mirrors on vehicles not already so 

equipped. 

Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and 

Rims for Vehicles other than Passenger 

Cars: installation of a tire information 

placard. 

Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls 

and Displays: (a) installation of a U.S.- 

model speedometer, or modification of 

the speedometer so that it reads in miles 

per hour; and (b) installation of an 

ignition switch label. 

All comments received before the 

close of business on the closing date 

indicated above will be considered, and 

will be available for examination in the 

docket at the above addresses both 

before and after that date. To the extent 

possible, comments filed after the 

closing date will also be considered. 

Notice of final action on the petition 

will be published in the Federal 

Register pursuant to the authority 

indicated below. 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and 

(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8; delegations of authority 

at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8. 

Issued on: March 9, 2011.
