SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 

standards shall be refused admission 

into the United States unless NHTSA 

has decided that the motor vehicle is 

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 

Rolls Royce Phantom passenger cars are 

eligible for importation into the United 

States. The vehicles which AMC 

believes are substantially similar are 

2004 Rolls Royce Phantom 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 Rolls 

Royce Phantom 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 Rolls Royce 

Phantom 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 Rolls Royce 

Phantom passenger cars are identical to 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 13, 2004 / Notices 60933

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

Mounting, 214 Side Impact Protection,

216 Roof Crush Resistance, 219 

Windshield Zone Intrusion, 225 Child 

Restraint Anchorage Systems, 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 any non U.S. model

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, or 

installation of a supplemental key 

warning buzzer system to meet the 

requirements of this standard. 

Standard No. 118 Power-Operated 

Window, Partition, and Roof Panel 

Systems: Installation of U.S. version 

software to meet the requirements of 

this standard. 

Standard No. 208 Occupant Crash 

Protection: (a) Installation of U.S. 

version software to ensure that the seat 

belt warning system meets the 

requirements of this standard, and (b) 

inspection of all vehicles and 

replacement of any non-U.S.-model 

components necessary for conformity 

with this standard with U.S.-model 

components. 

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 at the front and rear 

designated seating positions. 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

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

The petitioner additionally states that

windshield post to meet the 

requirements of 49 CFR part 565. 

Interested persons are invited to
