SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

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

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS shall be refused 

admission into the United States unless 

NHTSA has decided that the motor 

vehicle is substantially similar to a 

motor vehicle originally manufactured 

for importation into and sale in the 

United States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 

30115, and of the same model year as 

the model of the motor vehicle to be 

compared, and is capable of being 

readily altered to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

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. 

Wallace Environmental Testing 

Laboratories (WETL), of Houston, Texas 

(Registered Importer R–90–005) has 

petitioned NHTSA to decide whether 

nonconforming MY 2012 Mercedes 

Benz CLS 63 AMG passenger cars 

originally manufactured for the Mexican 

market are eligible for importation into 

the United States. The vehicles which 

WETL believes are substantially similar 

are MY 2012 Mercedes Benz CLS 63 

AMG passenger cars sold in the United 

States and certified by their 

manufacturer as conforming to all 

applicable FMVSS. 

The petitioner claims that it compared 

non-U.S. certified MY 2012 Mercedes 

Benz CLS 63 AMG passenger cars 

manufactured for the Mexican market to 

their U.S.-certified counterparts, and 

found the vehicles to be substantially 

similar with respect to compliance with 

most FMVSS.
