Administration 

[Docket No. NHTSA–2006–25525; Notice 1] 

Fulmer Helmets, Inc., Receipt of 

Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

Fulmer Helmets, Inc. (Fulmer) has 

determined that certain helmets it 

produced in 2001 through 2006 do not 

comply with S5.2 of 49 CFR 571.218, 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) No. 218, ‘‘Motorcycle 

Helmets.’’ Fulmer has filed an 

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR 

part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance 

Reports.’’

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

30120(h), Fulmer 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 Fulmer’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 a total of approximately 

32,052 helmets which Fulmer certified 

as complying with FMVSS No. 218. 

These consist of approximately 26,762 

Modular Motorcycle Helmets AF–M 

produced between January 2002 and 

April 2006, and approximately 5,290 

Modular Snowmobile Helmets SN–M 

produced between November 2001 and 

November 2005. S5.2 of FMVSS No. 

218, penetration, requires that ‘‘when a 

penetration test is conducted in 

accordance with S7.2, the striker shall 

not contact the surface of the test 

headform.’’ When this test was 

conducted on the subject helmets, the 

striker contacted the surface of the test 

headform. Fulmer has corrected the 

problem that caused these errors so that 

they will not be repeated in future 

production. 

Fulmer believes that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety and that no 

corrective action is warranted. Fulmer 

states that it asked Harry Hurt, ‘‘a 

leading expert in helmet testing and 

motorcycle accident research * * * 

[whose] experience is more than 50 

years,’’ to review the test results. Fulmer 

further states, 

[Harry Hurt’s] opinion is that the 

noncompliance on the penetration test is 

inconsequential because the helmets 

performed exceptionally well on all impact 

attenuation tests. In his experience, there has 

never been any correlation between the 

penetration test and accident performance, 

and damage like the penetration test is never 

seen in crash involved motorcycle helmets. 

Mr. Hurt’s full statement is available in 

the docket. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit written data, views, and 

arguments on this petition. Comments
