Britax concludes that the open top 

tether hook is inconsequential to the 

system working. Britax states, ‘‘The 

biomechanical results and performance 

of the other structural components of 

the Marathon prove that the system 

[emphasis in original] does what is it 

intended to do—that is, save children’s 

lives.’’

[Docket No. NHTSA–2006–26423; Notice 1] 

Hankook Tire Company, Ltd., Receipt 

of Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

Hankook Tire Co., Ltd. (Hankook) has 

determined that certain tires that it 

produced in 2001 through 2006 do not 

comply with S5.5(h) of 49 CFR 571.139, 

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 

(FMVSS) No. 139, ‘‘New pneumatic 

radial tires for light vehicles.’’ Hankook 

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), Hankook 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 Hankook’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 

99,620 passenger car temporary spare 

tires produced between January 2001 

and September 2006. S5.5(h) of FMVSS 

No. 139 requires that the tires have a 

sidewall marking ‘‘radial’’ if the tire is 

a radial ply tire. These tires lack the 

word ‘‘radial’’ in the sidewall marking. 

Hankook has corrected the problem that 

caused these errors so that they will not 

be repeated in future production. 

Hankook believes that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety and that no 

corrective action is warranted. Hankook 

states that the noncompliance ‘‘affects 

consumer information only and does 

not affect safety of the tires.’’ Hankook 

further states that the tires comply with 

all other FMVSS requirements. 

Interested persons are invited to
