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 FMVSS 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 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. 

Diversified Vehicle Services Inc. 

(DVS), (Registered Importer R–98–165), 

of Indianapolis, Indiana has petitioned 

NHTSA to decide whether 

nonconforming 2014–2018 Chevrolet 

2500 TKs are eligible for importation 

into the United States. The vehicles 

which DVS believes are substantially 

similar are MY 2014–2018 Chevrolet 

Silverado TKs 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 2014–2018 

Chevrolet 2500 TKs to their U.S. 

certified counterparts and found the 

vehicles to be substantially similar with 

respect to compliance with most 

FMVSS. 

DVS submitted information with its 

petition intended to demonstrate that 

non-U.S. certified MY 2014–2018 

Chevrolet 2500 TKs, 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 2014–2018 

Chevrolet 2500 TKs, as originally 

manufactured, conform to: FMVSS

CFR part 567.
