substantially similar to a motor vehicle 

originally manufactured for importation 

into and sale in the United States, 

certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of 

the same model year as the model of the 

motor vehicle to be compared, and is 

capable of being readily altered to 

conform to all applicable Federal motor 

vehicle safety standards. 

Petitions for eligibility decisions may 

be submitted by either manufacturers or 

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. 

Automobile Concepts, Inc., (‘‘AMC’’), 

of North Miami, Florida (Registered 

Importer 01–278) has petitioned NHTSA 

to decide whether nonconforming 2004 

Lamborghini Gallardo passenger cars are 

eligible for importation into the United 

States. The vehicles which AMC 

believes are substantially similar are 

2004 Lamborghini Gallardo passenger 

cars that were manufactured for 

importation into, and sale in, the United 

States and certified by their 

manufacturer as conforming to all 

applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 

standards. 

The petitioner claims that it carefully 

compared non-U.S. certified 2004 

Lamborghini Gallardo passenger cars to 

their U.S.-certified counterparts, and 

found the vehicles to be substantially 

similar with respect to compliance with 

most Federal motor vehicle safety 

standards. 

AMC submitted information with its 

petition intended to demonstrate that 

non-U.S. certified 2004 Lamborghini 

Gallardo passenger cars, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many Federal 

motor vehicle safety standards in the 

same manner as their U.S. certified 

counterparts, or are capable of being 

readily altered to conform to those 

standards. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

non-U.S. certified 2004 Lamborghini 

Gallardo passenger cars are identical to 

their U.S. certified counterparts with 

respect to compliance with Standard 

Nos. 102 Transmission Shift Lever 

Sequence, Starter Interlock, and 

Transmission Braking Effect, 103 

Windshield Defrosting and Defogging 

Systems, 104 Windshield Wiping and 

Washing Systems, 106 Brake Hoses, 109 

New Pneumatic Tires, 113 Hood Latch 

System, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids,

124 Accelerator Control Systems, 135 

Passenger Car Brake Systems, 201 

Occupant Protection in Interior Impact,

202 Head Restraints, 204 Steering 

Control Rearward Displacement, 205 

Glazing Materials, 206 Door Locks and 

Door Retention Components, 207 

Seating Systems, 212 Windshield 

Mounting, 214 Side Impact Protection,

216 Roof Crush Resistance, 219 

Windshield Zone Intrusion, 301 Fuel 

System Integrity, 302 Flammability of 

Interior Materials, and 401 Interior 

Trunk Release.

In addition, the petitioner claims that 

the vehicles comply with the Bumper 

Standard found in 49 CFR part 581. 

The petitioner also contends that the 

vehicles are capable of being readily 

altered to meet the following standards, 

in the manner indicated:

Standard No. 101 Controls and 

Displays: Installation of a U.S.-model 

instrument cluster. U.S. version 

software must also be downloaded to 

meet the requirements of this standard. 

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective 

Devices and Associated Equipment:

Inspection of all vehicles and 

replacement of the following with U.S.-

model components on vehicles not 

already so equipped: (a) Headlamp 

assemblies; and (b) rear side marker 

lamps that incorporate rear sidemounted reflex reflectors. 

Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and 

Rims: Installation of a tire information 

placard. 

Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors:

Installation of a U.S.-model passenger 

side rearview mirror, or inscription of 

the required warning statement on the 

face of that mirror. 

Standard No. 114 Theft Protection:

Installation of U.S. version software to 

meet the requirements of this standard. 

Standard No. 118 Power-Operated 

Window, Partition, and Roof Panel 

Systems: Installation of U.S. version 

software, or installation of a 

supplemental relay system to meet the 

requirements of this standard. 

Standard No. 208 Occupant Crash 

Protection: (a) Installation of U.S. 

version software, or installation of a 

supplemental buzzer system to ensure 

that the seat belt warning system 

conforms to the requirements of this 

standard, and (b) inspection of all 

vehicles and replacement of any non 

U.S.-model components necessary to 

meet the requirements of this standard 

with U.S.-model components on 

vehicles that are not already so 

equipped. 

Petitioner states that the restraint 

systems used at the front outboard 

seating positions include airbags and 

knee bolsters as well as combination lap 

and shoulder belts. These seat belt 

systems are self-tensioning and release 

by means of a single red pushbutton. 

Standard No. 209 Seat Belt 

Assemblies: Inspection of all vehicles 

and replacement of any non-U.S.-model 

seat belts with U.S.-model components 

on vehicles that are not already so 

equipped.

Anchorages: Inspection of all vehicles 

and replacement of any non-U.S.-model 

seat belt anchorages with U.S.-model 

components on vehicles that are not 

already so equipped. 

Standard No. 225 Child Restraint 

Anchorage Systems: Installation of U.S.-

model child seat tether anchorage for 

the passenger seat. 

The petitioner additionally states that 

a vehicle identification plate must be 

affixed to the vehicles near the left 

windshield post to meet the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 565.
