SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS, and has no 

substantially similar U.S.-certified 

counterpart, shall be refused admission 

into the United States unless NHTSA 

has decided that the motor vehicle has 

safety features that comply with, or are 

capable of being altered to comply with, 

all applicable FMVSS based on 

destructive test data or such other 

evidence as NHTSA decides to be 

adequate. 

Petitions for eligibility decisions may 

be submitted by either manufacturers or 

importers who have registered with 

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 592. As 

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

of each petition that it receives, and 

affords interested persons an 

opportunity to comment on the petition. 

At the close of the comment period, 

NHTSA decides, on the basis of the 

petition and any comments that it has 

received, whether the vehicle is eligible 

for importation. The agency then 

publishes this decision in the Federal 

Register. 

US SPECS of Havre de Grace, 

Maryland (Registered Importer 03–321) 

has petitioned NHTSA to decide 

whether 2006–2007 Carrocerias Alcides 

Cimarron trailers that were not 

originally manufactured to conform to 

all applicable FMVSS are eligible for 

importation into the United States. US 

SPECS contends that these vehicles are 

eligible for importation under 49 U.S.C. 

30141(a)(1)(B) because they have safety 

features that comply with, or are 

capable of being altered to comply with, 

all applicable FMVSS. US SPECS 

submitted information with its petition 

intended to demonstrate that 2006–2007 

Carrocerias Alcides Cimarron trailers 

are capable of being modified to comply 

with all applicable standards. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

2006–2007 Carrocerias Alcides 

Cimarron trailers are capable of being 

altered to meet the following standards, 

in the manner indicated:

Devices and Associated Equipment: 

Installation of (a) taillamps; (b) stop 

lamps; (c) rear turn signal lamps; (d) 

license plate lamp; (e) rear sidemounted marker lamps; (f) front sidemounted marker lamps; (g) rear 

clearance lamps; (h) rear identification 

lamps; (i) front clearance lamps; and (j) 

front, rear, and side reflex reflectors, on 

vehicles that are not already so 

equipped, to ensure compliance with 

the standard. 

Standard No. 119 New Pneumatic 

Tires for Vehicles Other than Passenger 

Cars: Installation of tires to ensure 

compliance with the standard. 

Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and 

Rims for Motor Vehicles Other than 

Passenger Cars: Installation of rims and 

a tire information placard to ensure 

compliance with the standard. 

Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on the petition 

described above. Comments should refer

400 Seventh St., SW., Washington, DC 

20590. [Docket hours are from 9 am to

All comments received before the
