74230 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 208 / Monday, October 30, 2023 / Notices 

to the Patriots Point Development 

Authority of South Carolina. The NSS 

operated as a museum ship at the 

Patriots Point Naval and Maritime 

Museum from 1981 through 1994. 

During this time, the NSS was listed in 

the National Register of Historic Places 

(1983) and designated as an NHL (1991) 

for exhibiting exceptional value in 

illustrating the nuclear, maritime, 

transportation, and political heritages of 

the United States. Additionally, during 

this time the ship was designated an 

International Historic Mechanical 

Engineering Landmark by the American 

Society of Mechanical Engineers (1983) 

and a Nuclear Engineering Landmark by 

the American Nuclear Society (1991). 

Following termination of the charter 

in 1994, the NSS returned to MARAD 

and was entered into the James River 

Reserve Fleet in Virginia. The ship was 

removed from the reserve fleet in 2006 

and underwent repairs prior to being 

relocated in 2008 to Baltimore, 

Maryland, where it is currently berthed. 

In 2017, funds for decommissioning of 

the ship were appropriated. Because the 

decommissioning and disposition of the 

NSS is an Undertaking under Section 

106 of the NHPA, MARAD initiated 

consultation in 2018 with the Maryland 

SHPO, the ACHP, the NRC, the NPS, 

and other consulting parties. Given the 

complexities of the Undertaking, 

including the yet undetermined 

disposition of the NSS, the parties 

agreed to develop a PA to guide the 

execution of the Undertaking. 

The PA for the Decommissioning and 

Disposition of the NSS was executed in 

March 2023, and it outlines the process 

by which the disposition of NSS will be 

considered and executed, concurrent 

with the decommissioning project. The 

decommissioning process is well 

underway, and dismantlement and 

removal of the major systems, 

structures, and components that were 

part of the ship’s nuclear power plant is 

complete. As part of the 

decommissioning process, MARAD has 

made numerous modifications and 

improvements to the NSS from 2015 

through the present. These 

improvements include climate controls, 

sanitary spaces, shore power, 

mechanical systems, mooring and 

access/egress equipment, alarm, and 

monitoring systems (fire/smoke, 

intrusion, flooding, security cameras), 

restored public spaces, office spaces, 

and administrative infrastructure. 

Typically, the greatest challenge to any 

static museum ship effort is the cost 

associated with converting or 

transforming the ship into a site suitable 

and safe for visitors. MARAD has 

already made improvements, as listed 

above, which may help to defray some 

of the initial starting costs for potential 

recipients who may be interested in 

receiving the ship. Additional details 

about the ship’s condition are included 

in the attachments posted to the 

MARAD docket and website. 

The disposition process is sequenced 

to reach a conclusion at the same time 

that decommissioning ends—effective 

with the license termination to allow a 

seamless transition to whichever endstate condition is approved. MARAD 

anticipates making its disposition 

decision no later than the license 

termination date with conveyance to 

follow three to six months later, after 

decommissioning, demobilization, and 

vessel redelivery contract actions are 

completed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview: Toyota has determined 

that certain MY 2019—2020 Toyota 

Tundra motor vehicles do not fully 

comply with paragraph S4.3(d) of 

FMVSS No. 110, Tire Selection and 

Rims and Motor Home/Recreation 

Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity 

Information for Motor Vehicles with a 

GVWR of 4,536 Kilograms (10,000 

Pounds) or Less (49 CFR 571.110). 

Toyota filed a noncompliance report 

dated September 18, 2019, pursuant to 

49 CFR part 573, Defect and 

Noncompliance Responsibility and 

Reports. Toyota subsequently petitioned 

NHTSA on October 7, 2019, and later 

amended that petition on January 3, 

2020, for an exemption from the 

notification and remedy requirements of 

49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that 

this noncompliance is inconsequential 

as it relates to motor vehicle safety, 

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

30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, 

Exemption for Inconsequential Defect or

No comments were received. To view 

the petition and all supporting 

documents log onto the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) website at 

https://www.regulations.gov/. Then 

follow the online search instructions to 

locate docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2019– 

0099.’’ 

II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately 

1,667 MY 2019—2020 Toyota Tundra 

motor vehicles, manufactured between 

March 28, 2019, and August 19, 2019, 

are potentially involved. 

III. Noncompliance: Toyota explains 

that the noncompliance is that the 

subject vehicles have tire information 

labels that contain spare tire size 

information that does not match the 

installed spare tire size. 

IV. Rule Requirements: Paragraph 

S4.3(d) of FMVSS No. 110 includes the 

requirements relevant to this petition. 

Each vehicle, except for a trailer or 

incomplete vehicle, shall show the 

information specified in paragraph 

S4.3(d) Tire size designation, indicated 

by the headings ‘‘size’’ or ‘‘original tire 

size’’ or ‘‘original size,’’ and ‘‘spare tire’’ 

or ‘‘spare,’’ for the tires installed at the 

time of the first purchase for purposes 

other than resale. For full-size spare 

tires, the statement ‘‘see above’’ may, at 

the manufacturer’s option replace the 

tire size designation. If no spare tire is 

provided, the word ‘‘none’’ must replace 

the tire size designation.

V. Summary of Toyota’s Petition: The 

following views and arguments 

presented in this section, V. Summary 

of Toyota’s Petition, are the views and 

arguments provided by Toyota. They do 

not reflect the views of the Agency. 

Toyota described the subject 

noncompliance and stated its belief that 

the noncompliance is inconsequential 

as it relates to motor vehicle safety. 

Toyota believes that the noncompliance 

is inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety for the following reasons: 

1. Toyota states that there is no issue 

with the spare tire installed on the 

vehicle; it is a tire/wheel combination 

that is designed for this vehicle and 

meets all other applicable FMVSSs. In 

addition, the cold tire inflation pressure 

specified on the placard is correct and 

is the recommended pressure for both 

spare tire sizes. 

a. Toyota claims that the spare tire 

installed on the vehicle (P255/70R18) 

meets all applicable FMVSSs. 

Furthermore, Toyota states, it is the 

appropriate temporary spare tire that 

was designed for the vehicle and meets 

the vehicle loading requirements. Only 

the spare tire size information indicated 

on the placard is incorrect and reflects 

the size of the spare that was used on 

the Tundra prior to a production 

change. All the other information on the 

placard is accurate, including the cold 

tire inflation pressure. 

b. In addition, Toyota says that if the 

vehicle owner wanted to check the size 

of the spare tire that is installed on the 

vehicle, the information is in the 

owner’s manual and is also molded into 

the spare tire sidewall. 

c. Given the intent of FMVSS No. 110, 

S4.3(d), Toyota believes that, because 

the spare tire installed on the vehicle is 

the appropriate tire for the vehicle 

performance and loading requirements, 

there is no risk to motor vehicle safety. 

2. According to Toyota, there is also 

no issue if the installed spare tire is 

replaced with one of the sizes indicated 

on the incorrect placard. This would 

also be a tire/wheel combination that is 

designed for this vehicle and would 

meet all other applicable FMVSSs 

because the replacement spare tire 

would be the same size as the spare tire 

originally equipped on the Tundra prior 

to the production change and would be 

the same size as the four main tires on 

the subject vehicles. 

a. Toyota explains that the spare tire 

size indicated on the incorrect placard 

was also designed for the subject 

vehicles and meets all applicable 

FMVSSs. This spare tire wheel 

combination (P275/65R18) is the same 

size as the four main tires installed on 

the subject vehicles. It was used as a 

spare tire on the prior model year 

Tundra and on the 2019 MY Tundra 

prior to the adoption of the current 

spare tire size (P255/70R18). 

b. In addition, the recommended 

spare tire inflation pressure and wheel 

size (R18) are the same for the subject 

vehicles as the prior model year Tundra. 

c. Because both spare tire sizes are 

appropriate for the vehicle loading 

specifications, were designed for the 

subject vehicles, meet all applicable 

FMVSSs, and the wheel size and 

recommended tire pressure are the 

same, Toyota believes there is no risk to 

occupant safety should a P275/65R18 

tire be used in place of the one 

equipped on the vehicle. 

3. Toyota says it is unaware of any 

owner complaints, field reports, or 

allegations of hazardous circumstances 

concerning the incorrect spare tire 

placard in the subject vehicles. Toyota 

has searched its records for reports or 

other information concerning the tire 

placard and spare tire in the subject 

vehicles. No owner complaints, field 

reports, or allegations of hazardous 

circumstances concerning the placard or 

tire were found. 

4. Toyota says that NHTSA has 

previously granted at least five similar 

petitions for inconsequential 

noncompliance for inaccurate tire 

placards. Toyota provides a brief 

summary of each petition listed below: 

a. Daimler Chrysler Corporation, 73 

FR 11462 (March 3, 2008) Dodge Dakota 

pickup trucks had the spare tire size 

indicated on the placard that did not 

match the size of the spare tire installed 

on the vehicle. 

b. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) 

78 FR 43967 (July 22, 2013) Vehicle 

placard on the affected vehicles 

incorrectly identified the tire size 

designation of the spare tire in the 

vehicle. 

c. Volkswagen Group of America, Inc., 

81 FR 88728 (December 8, 2016) Subject 

vehicles had a tire placard label that 

was misprinted with an incorrect tire 

size as compared to the tires the vehicle 

was equipped with. 

d. Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC, 82 FR 

5640 (January 18, 2017) The tire 

information placard affixed to the 

vehicles’ B-pillar incorrectly identified 

the spare tire size. 

e. General Motors, LLC, 84 FR 25117 

(May 30, 2019) Subject vehicles were 

equipped tire placards that stated the 

spare tire size is ‘‘None’’ when in fact 

it should have been ‘‘T125/70R17’’ and 

omitted the cold tire pressure for the 

spare tire when it should have read 

‘‘420 kPa, 60 psi’’. 

Toyota concludes that the subject 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety and that 

its petition to be exempted from 

providing notification of the 

noncompliance, as required by 49 

U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the 

noncompliance, as required by 49 

U.S.C. 30120, should be granted. 

VI. NHTSA’s Analysis: In determining 

inconsequentiality of a noncompliance, 

NHTSA focuses on the safety risk to 

individuals who experience the type of 

event against which a recall would 

otherwise protect.1 In general, NHTSA 

does not consider the absence of 

complaints or injuries when 

determining if a noncompliance is 

inconsequential to safety. The absence 

of complaints does not mean vehicle 

occupants have not experienced a safety 

issue, nor does it mean that there will 

not be safety issues in the future.2

The purpose of the placard 

requirements in paragraph 4.3(d) of 

FMVSS No. 110 is to identify the tire 

size designation for the tires installed at 

the time of the first purchase for 

purposes other than resale. 

As described by Toyota, due to a 

production change to change the spare 

tire size on vehicles equipped with a 

specific tire and wheel combination, the 

corresponding vehicle placard was not 

subsequently updated to reflect this 

change. 

The spare tire installed on the vehicle 

(P255/70R18) is certified to meet all 

applicable FMVSSs. It is a temporary 

spare tire that was designed for the 

vehicle and meets the vehicle loading 

requirements. The spare tire indicated 

on the incorrect placard was also 

designed for the subject vehicles and is 

certified to meet all applicable FMVSSs. 

As a point of fact, this spare tire wheel 

combination (P275/65R18) is the same 

size as the four main tires installed on 

the subject vehicles. Furthermore, the 

recommended tire inflation pressures 

and wheel sizes are all the same.

VII. NHTSA’s Decision: In 

consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA 

finds that Toyota has met its burden of 

persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 

110 noncompliance in the affected tires 

is inconsequential to motor vehicle 

safety. Accordingly, Toyota’s petition is 

hereby granted. Toyota is consequently 

exempted from the obligation of 

providing notification of, and a free 

remedy for, that noncompliance under 

49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120. 

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. Therefore, this 

decision on this petition only applies to 

the subject vehicles that Toyota no 

longer controlled at the time it 

determined that the noncompliance 

existed. However, the granting of this 

petition does not relieve vehicle 

distributors and dealers of the 

prohibitions on the sale, offer for sale, 

or introduction or delivery for 

introduction into interstate commerce of 

the noncompliant vehicles under their 

control after Toyota notified them that 

the subject noncompliance existed.
