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. 

Skytop Rover Co., Inc., (Registered 

Importer R–6–343), of Philadelphia, 

Pensylvania has petitioned NHTSA to 

decide whether nonconforming MY 

2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide 

motorcycles are eligible for importation 

into the United States. The vehicles 

which Skytop Rover Co., Inc. believes 

are substantially similar are MY 2018 

Harley Davidson Tri Glide motorcycles 

sold in the United States and certified 

by their manufacturer as conforming to 

all applicable FMVSS and are capable of 

being readily altered to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

Skytop Rover Co., Inc. submitted 

information with its petition intended to 

demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 

2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide 

motorcycles, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many 

applicable FMVSS, or are capable of 

being readily altered to conform to those 

standards. Specifically, the petitioner 

claims that the non-U.S. certified MY 

2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide 

motorcycles, as originally 

manufactured, conform to: FMVSS Nos. 

106, Brake Hoses, 111, Rear Visibility, 

116, Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids, 119, 

New Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles 

with a GVWR of More Than 4,536 

kilograms (10,000 pounds) and 

Motorcycles, 122, Motorcycle Brake 

Systems, 123, Motorcycle Controls and 

Displays, 205, Glazing Materials, and 

the requirements of 49 CFR part 565, 

Vehicle Identification Requirements. 

The petitioner also contends that the 

subject non-U.S. certified vehicles are 

capable of being readily altered to meet 

the following FMVSS, in the manner 

indicated: 

FMVSS No. 108, Lamps, Reflective 

Devices, and Associated Equipment: 

Rear lamps, headlight, side and rear 

reflectors, and turn signal lenses will 

need to be replaced. FMVSS No. 120, 

Tire Selection and Rims and Motor 

Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load 

Carrying Capacity Information for Motor 

Vehicles with a GVWR of More Than 

4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds): A tire 

placard will be added. 

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

(a)(1)(B), and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; delegation 

of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.
