Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 28, 2010 / Notices 81713 

2 Goodyear’s petition, which was filed under 49 

CFR part 556, requests an agency decision to 

exempt Goodyear as a replacement equipment 

manufacturer from the notification and recall 

responsibilities of 49 CFR part 573 for the 38,991 

tires that were delivered to its customers in the 

United States. However, the agency cannot relieve 

Goodyear distributors of the prohibitions on the 

sale, offer for sale, or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of the 

noncompliant tires under their control after 

Goodyear recognized that the subject 

noncompliance existed. Those tires must be brought 

into conformance, exported, or destroyed. In 

addition, any of the affected tires that Goodyear has 

not delivered to its customers must be brought into 

compliance, exported or destroyed. 

the requirements of paragraph S6.5(f) of 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) No. 119, New Pneumatic Tires 

for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 

more than 4,536 Kilograms (10,000 

Pounds) and Motorcycles. Goodyear has 

filed an appropriate report pursuant to 

49 CFR part 573, Defect and 

Noncompliance Responsibility and 

Reports, dated August 12, 2010. 

Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h) (see implementing rule at 49 

CFR part 556), Goodyear has petitioned 

for an exemption from the notification 

and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

Chapter 301 on the basis that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety. 

This notice of receipt of Goodyear’s 

petition is published under 49 U.S.C. 

30118 and 30120 and does not represent 

any agency decision or other exercise of 

judgment concerning the merits of the 

petition. 

Affected are approximately 43,887 

Goodyear G622 LR–F commercial truck 

tires manufactured from April 2007 to 

July 2010. A total of approximately 

38,991 of these tires have been delivered 

to Goodyear’s customers in the United 

States and Canada. 

NHTSA notes that the statutory 

provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to 

file petitions for a determination of 

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to 

exempt manufacturers only from the 

duties found in sections 30118 and 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance.2

Paragraph S6.5 of FMVSS No. 119 

requires in pertinent part: 

S6.5 Tire markings. Except as specified in 

this paragraph, each tire shall be marked on 

each sidewall with the information specified 

in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this section. 

The markings shall be placed between the 

maximum section width (exclusive of 

sidewall decorations or curb ribs) and the 

bead on at least one sidewall, unless the 

maximum section width of the tire is located 

in an area which is not more than one-fourth 

of the distance from the bead to the shoulder 

of the tire. If the maximum section width 

falls within that area, the markings shall 

appear between the bead and a point one-half 

the distance from the bead to the shoulder of 

the tire, on at least one sidewall. The 

markings shall be in letters and numerals not 

less than 2 mm (0.078 inch) high and raised 

above or sunk below the tire surface not less 

than 0.4 mm (0.015 inch), except that the 

marking depth shall be not less than 0.25mm 

(0.010 inch) in the case of motorcycle tires. 

The tire identification and the DOT symbol 

labeling shall comply with part 574 of this 

chapter. Markings may appear on only one 

sidewall and the entire sidewall area may be 

used in the case of motorcycle tires and 

recreational, boat, baggage, and special trailer 

tires. . . 

(f) The actual number of plies and the 

composition of the ply cord material in the 

sidewall and, if different, in the tread area; 

Goodyear explains that the 

noncompliance is that, due to a mold 

labeling error, the sidewall marking on 

the reference side of the tires incorrectly 

identifies the number of plies as ‘‘Tread 

5 Plies Steel’’ when in fact it should be 

identified as ‘‘Tread 4 Plies Steel’’ on the 

sidewall of the tires as required by 

paragraph S6.5(f) of FMVSS No. 119. 

Goodyear also explains that while the 

non-compliant tires are mislabeled, all 

of the tires included in this petition 

meet or exceed the performance 

requirements of FMVSS No. 119. 

Goodyear argues that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety because the 

noncompliant sidewall marking does 

not create an unsafe condition and all 

other labeling requirements have been 

met. 

Goodyear also points out that NHTSA 

has previously granted similar petitions 

for non-compliances in sidewall 

marking. 

Goodyear additionally states that it 

has corrected the affected tire molds and 

all future production will have the 

correct material shown on the sidewall. 

In summation, Goodyear believes that 

the described noncompliance of its tires 

to meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 

119 is inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety, and that its petition, to exempt 

from providing recall notification of 

noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 

30118 and remedying the recall 

noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 

30120, and should be granted. 

NHTSA notes that the statutory 

provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 

30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to 

file petitions for a determination of 

inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to 

exempt manufacturers only from the 

duties found in sections 30118 and 

30120, respectively, to notify owners, 

purchasers, and dealers of a defect or 

noncompliance and to remedy the 

defect or noncompliance.
