Radio Broadcasting Services; Clio and

Tuscola, MI

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; denial.

SUMMARY: The Notice in this proceeding

proposed the reallotment of Channel

268A from Tuscola, Michigan, to Clio,

Michigan, and modification of the

license for Station WWBN accordingly.

The Notice was issued in response to a

petition filed by Faircom Flint Inc. See

64 FR 18569, 1999. Based on the

information submitted, it has been

determined that the reallotment from

Tuscola to Clio does not provide a

public interest benefit of enough

significance to outweigh the loss of a

transmission service to Tuscola or offset

the disruption of an existing service.

Therefore, the proposed reallotment

from Tuscola to Clio has been denied.

With this action, this docketed

proceeding is terminated.

[Docket No. NHTSA–2000–6859]

RIN 2127–AC64

Consumer Information Regulations;

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards; Rollover Prevention

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for comments.

SUMMARY: The agency believes that

consumer information on the rollover

risk of passenger cars and light

multipurpose passenger vehicles and

trucks would reduce the number of

injuries and fatalities from rollover

crashes. This information would enable

prospective purchasers to make choices

about new vehicles based on differences

in rollover risk and serve as a market

incentive to manufacturers in striving to

design their vehicles with greater

rollover resistance. The consumer

information program would also inform

drivers who choose vehicles with less

rollover resistance that their risk of

harm can be greatly reduced with seat

belt use to avoid ejection.

The agency has tentatively decided

that the Static Stability Factor should be

used to indicate overall rollover risk in

single-vehicle crashes. This document

seeks comment on whether the

information should be presented as part

of NHTSA’s New Car Assessment

Program (NCAP), which provides

consumer information concerning

frontal and side impact protection.

DATES: Comment Date: Comments must

be received by July 31, 2000.

ADDRESSES: All comments should refer

to Docket No. NHTSA–2000–6859 and

be submitted to: Docket Management,

Room PL–401, 400 Seventh Street, SW,

Washington, DC 20590. Docket hours

are from 10 am to 5 pm Monday through
