30115, and of the same MY as the model 

of the motor vehicle to be compared, 

and is capable of being readily altered 

to conform to all applicable FMVSS. 

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 of each petition that it 

receives in the Federal Register, 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. 

G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc, 

(Registered Importer R–90–007), of 

Santa Ana, California has petitioned 

NHTSA to decide whether 

nonconforming 2012–2014 Mercedes 

Benz G500 and G500 Cabriolet MPVs 

are eligible for importation into the 

United States. The vehicles which G&K 

Automotive Conversion believes are 

substantially similar are MY 2012–2014 

Mercedes Benz G500 and G500 

Cabriolet MPVs sold in the United 

States and certified by their 

manufacturer as conforming to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

The petitioner claims that it compared 

non-U.S. certified MY 2012–2014 

Mercedes Benz G500 and G500 

Cabriolet MPVs to their U.S. certified 

counterparts, and found the vehicles to 

be substantially similar with respect to 

compliance with most FMVSS. 

G&K Automotive Conversion 

submitted information with its petition 

intended to demonstrate that non-U.S. 

certified MY 2012–2014 Mercedes Benz 

G500 and G500 Cabriolet MPVs, as 

originally manufactured, conform to 

many applicable FMVSS 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 the non-U.S. certified MY 

2012–2014 Mercedes Benz G500 and 

G500 Cabriolet MPVs, as originally 

manufactured, conform to: FMVSS Nos.

the U.S. Companion Model and 

therefore meets the requirements set 

forth in 49 CFR part 541. Likewise, the

the requirements set forth in 49 CFR
