[Docket No. 97–070; Notice 1]

Uniroyal Goodrich Tire Manufacturing;

Receipt of Application for Decision of

Inconsequential Noncompliance

Uniroyal Goodrich Tire

Manufacturing (Uniroyal) of Greenville,

South Carolina, which is an operating

unit of Michelin North America, Inc.,

has determined that some of its tires fail

to comply with the labeling

requirements of 49 CFR § 571.109,

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard

(FMVSS) No. 109, ‘‘New Pneumatic

Tires,’’ and has filed an appropriate

report pursuant to 49 CFR part § 573,

‘‘Defect and Noncompliance Reports.’’

Uniroyal has also applied to be

exempted from the notification and

remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.

Chapter 301—‘‘Motor Vehicle Safety’’

on the basis that the noncompliance is

inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.

This notice of receipt of an

application 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 application.

In FMVSS No. 109, Paragraph S4.3.5

requires that ‘‘if the maximum inflation

pressure of a tire is 420 kPa (60 psi), the

tire shall have permanently molded into

or onto both sidewalls, in letters and

numerals not less than 1⁄2 inch high, the

words ‘‘Inflate to 60 psi’’ or ‘‘Inflate to

420 kPa (60 psi).’’

From the 30th through the 37th week

of 1975, the Uniroyal plant located in

Woodburn, Indiana, produced

approximately 4,800 temporary spare

tires (T115/70D14 Uniroyal Hideaway

tires) with a minor omission of the

markings required by 49 CFR § 571.109

S4.3.5 on one side of the tire. Instead of

‘‘INFLATE TO 60 PSI’’ these tires were

marked ‘‘NFLATE TO 60 PSI.’’ A total

of 2,750 of the 4,800 tires were

delivered to Original Equipment

Manufacturers (OEM) customers, the

remaining 2,050 have been isolated in

Uniroyal’s warehouses and will be

brought into full compliance with the

marking requirements of FMVSS No.

109 or scrapped.

Uniroyal supports its application for

inconsequential noncompliance with

the following statements:

1. All performance requirements of

FMVSS No. 109 are met or exceeded.

2. The correct marking appears on one

side of the tire.

3. It is reasonable to expect that the

consumer will interpret ‘‘NFLATE TO

60 PSI’’ as ‘‘INFLATE TO 60 PSI,’’

especially when it is used in reference

to a pressure of 60 PSI.

4. The vehicle placard, as required by

49 CFR § 571.110 S4.3, [specifies] the

proper inflation pressure to use.

Interested persons are invited to

submit written data, views, and

arguments on the application of

Uniroyal described above. Comments

should refer to the docket number and

be submitted to: Docket Section,

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, Room 5109, 400

Seventh Street, SW., Washington, D.C.,

20590. It is requested that ten copies be

submitted.

All comments received before the

close of business on the closing date

indicated below will be considered. The

application and supporting materials,

and all comments received after the

closing date, will also be filed and will

be considered to the extent possible.

When the application is granted or

denied, the notice will be published in

the Federal Register pursuant to the

authority indicated below.

Comment closing date: December 4,

1997.

authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8)
