BILLING CODE 4910–81–P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[DOT–NHTSA–2024–0074] 

Speed Measuring Device Conformity— 

RADAR 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Transition of the 

NHTSA managed Down The Road (DTR) 

Radar Speed Measuring Device (SMD) 

Conforming Products List (CPL) 

program to an industry-based 

Verification Program. 

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA) 

provides notice to the public that the 

Conforming Products List (CPL) 

maintained and updated by NHTSA for 

Down The Road (DTR) radar speed 

measuring devices will be discontinued. 

A new industry-based product 

Verification Program has been 

developed to confirm that DTR radar 

speed measuring devices conform to 

certain minimum specifications. The 

new industry-based product Verification 

Program will provide manufacturers the 

flexibility to confirm conformance with 

any testing entity as long as the entity 

can fulfill the requirements for testing 

and verifying device compliance with 

the established performance 

specifications, testing protocols and 

laboratory accreditation requirements of 

the industry-based Verification Program. 

To afford manufacturers time to 

transition to the new program, NHTSA 

will maintain the CPL for one year after 

the date of this notice. 

Under the new Verification Program, 

a DTR radar speed measuring device 

manufacturer can use an accredited 

testing entity to verify that its speed 

measuring device conforms to an 

established performance standard and 

will be placed on a verified products list 

maintained by the Verification Program. 

Please refer to the NIST website for a list 

of available Verification Programs: 

https://www.nist.gov/mml/mmsd/ 

security-technologies-group/down-roaddtr-radar. The new Verification Program 

will provide manufacturers with a 

proven method of demonstrating 

compliance to the minimum 

performance specifications, will 

empower end-users to make better 

purchasing decisions, and benefit 

manufacturers as products can quickly 

gain market acceptance. 

Accordingly, as of the date of this 

publication, NHTSA will no longer 

perform CPL processing under the 

Interim Administrative Guide for the 

Traffic Enforcement Technologies 

Program. 

DATES: Comments are due by within 30 

days of this announcement.
