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 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 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 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. 

Masa Auto Wholesalers of Chandler, 

Arizona (Masa) (Registered Importer 94– 

018) has petitioned NHTSA to decide 

whether non-U.S. certified 2010 Harley 

Davidson FL series motorcycles are 

eligible for importation into the United 

States. The vehicles that Masa believes 

are substantially similar are 2010 Harley 

Davidson FL series motorcycles that 

were manufactured for sale in the 

United States and certified by their 

manufacturer as conforming to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

The petitioner claims that it carefully 

compared non-U.S. certified 2010 

Harley Davidson FL series motorcycles 

to their U.S. certified counterparts, and 

found the vehicles to be substantially 

similar with respect to compliance with 

most FMVSS. 

Masa submitted information with its 

petition intended to demonstrate that 

non-U.S. certified 2010 Harley Davidson 

FL series motorcycles, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many 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 non-U.S. certified 2010 

Harley Davidson FL series motorcycles 

are identical to their U.S. certified 

counterparts with respect to compliance 

with Standard Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 

111 Rearview Mirrors, 116 Brake Fluid, 

119 New Pneumatic Tires for Vehicles 

other than Passenger Cars, and 122 

Motorcycle Brake Systems. 

The petitioner further contends that 

the vehicles are capable of being readily 

altered to meet the following standards, 

in the manner indicated below: 

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective 

Devices and Associated Equipment: 

Installation of the following U.S.- 

certified components on vehicles not 

already so equipped: (a) Headlamp; 

(b) front and rear side-mounted reflex 

reflectors; (c) rear-mounted reflex 

reflector; (d) rear turn signal lamps; 

(e) stoplamp; (f) taillamp; and (g) license 

plate lamp.

Rims for Vehicles other than Passenger

placard. 

Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls 

and Displays: Installation of a U.S.- 

model speedometer/odometer unit to 

meet the requirements of this standard. 

Standard No. 205 Glazing Materials: 

Inspection of all vehicles, and removal 

of noncompliant glazing or replacement 

of the glazing with U.S.-certified 

components on vehicles that are not 

already so equipped. 

All comments received before the 

close of business on the closing date 

indicated above will be considered, and 

will be available for examination in the 

docket at the above addresses both 

before and after that date. To the extent 

possible, comments filed after the 

closing date will also be considered. 

Notice of final action on the petition 

will be published in the Federal 

Register pursuant to the authority 

indicated below. 

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

(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8; delegations of authority

received a request from McCarthy, 

Sweeney & Harkaway, P.C. on behalf of 

the State of Montana (WB10–069(1)), for 

permission to use certain data from the 

Board’s 2006 through 2009 (when 

available) Carload Waybill Sample. This 

request was made pursuant to 49 CFR 

1244.9(b)(4) because it is related to a 

proceeding before the Board, State of 

Montana v. BNSF Railway Company, 

NOR 42124. Because some of the 

waybill information requested is from 

entities not party to this proceeding (i.e., 

Union Pacific Railroad Company and 

Canadian Pacific Railway Company), 

the Board is providing notice and an 

opportunity to comment on the request. 

(The Board’s regulations do not 

specifically require Federal Register 

notice for this category of request.) A 

copy of the request may be obtained 

from the Office of Economics. See the 

contact listed below. 

The Board will follow its procedures 

set forth in 49 CFR 1244.9(d) for 

handling this waybill sample request. 

The waybill sample contains 

confidential railroad and shipper data; 

therefore, if any party objects to this 

request, it should file the objections 

with the Director of the Board’s Office 

of Economics within 14 calendar days of 

the publication of this notice. The rules 

for release of waybill data are codified 

at 49 CFR 1244.9.
