22432 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 87 / Friday, May 5, 1995 / Notices

vehicles fueled by compressed natural

gas (59 FR 19648). The standard

enhances the fuel system integrity of

compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles

by subjecting the vehicles to crash

testing and placing a limit on the postcrash pressure drop in the fuel system.

The standard specifies frontal, rear, and

lateral barrier crash tests for light

vehicles and a moving contoured barrier

crash test for school buses with a GVWR

over 10,000 pounds. NHTSA anticipates

contracting with laboratories to obtain

test data to determine whether

particular motor vehicles comply with

the CNG fuel system integrity

requirements, just as it does with the

agency’s other standards.

The agency has prepared a draft

Laboratory Test Procedure for possible

use by contractors in testing vehicles for

compliance with the CNG fuel system

integrity requirements. Because of the

complexity of and public interest in

issues associated with the test

procedure, NHTSA is making the draft

available to the public and requesting

comment on it. NHTSA will consider

any public comments before adopting a

final Laboratory Test Procedure.

DATES: The closing date for comments

on this notice is June 5, 1995.

ADDRESSES: All comments on this notice

should refer to the above docket and

notice numbers and be submitted to:

Docket Section, Room 5109, National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration,

400 Seventh Street, SW, Washington,

DC 20590. It is requested that 10 copies

be submitted. The Docket hours are 9:30

am to 4 pm, Monday through Friday.

The draft Laboratory Test Procedure is

available in the docket.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Mark Levine, Office of Vehicle Safety

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–5290).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

25, 1994, NHTSA published a final rule

establishing Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard No. 303 that specifies

vehicle performance requirements for

the fuel system of vehicles fueled by

compressed natural gas (CNG). The

standard enhances the fuel system

integrity of CNG vehicles by subjecting

the vehicles to crash testing and placing

a limit on the post-crash pressure drop

in the fuel system. The standard

specifies frontal, rear, and lateral barrier

crash tests for light vehicles (passenger

cars, vans, and light trucks) and a

moving contoured barrier crash test for

school buses with a GVWR over 10,000

pounds. The purpose of this new

standard is to reduce deaths and injuries

caused by fires resulting from fuel

leakage during and after crashes

involving vehicles fueled by CNG. The

requirements become effective

September 1, 1995.

NHTSA anticipates that it will

contract with laboratories to obtain

compliance test data for the CNG

vehicle fuel system integrity

requirements as it does for other agency

standards. To aid the contracted

laboratories in conducting compliance

tests for the agency, NHTSA provides

them with Laboratory Test Procedures

which include a uniform testing and

data recording format and suggestions

for the use of specific equipment and

procedures. In keeping with that

practice, NHTSA has prepared a draft

Laboratory Test Procedure for the CNG

vehicle fuel system integrity procedures

and performance requirements of

FMVSS No. 303. Normally, the agency

would simply proceed to prepare a final

version of the Laboratory Test Procedure

and make it public. NHTSA typically

has not requested public comments on

draft Laboratory Test Procedures for

other standards in the past because

there is no legal requirement to do so

since such a document is not a ‘‘rule’’

and there was not so much public

interest in prior test procedure

documents.

However, because of the complexity

of and public interest in issues involved

with the test procedure, NHTSA is

requesting comment from the public on

the document. NHTSA will consider

any public comments before adopting a

final Laboratory Test Procedure. The

agency wishes to emphasize that it does

not intend, by issuing this notice, to

signal a general change in its practice

regarding the establishment of test

procedures. NHTSA may choose to

adopt or change any Laboratory Test

Procedure without allowing an

opportunity for public comment.

NHTSA invites interested persons to

submit comments on the draft

Laboratory Test Procedure for Standard

No. 303. The agency requests that

persons submit 10 copies of comments.

All comments must not exceed 15 pages

in length (49 CFR 553.21).

Necessary attachments may be

appended to these submissions without

regard to the 15-page limit. This

limitation is intended to encourage

commenters to detail their primary

arguments in a concise fashion. If a

commenter wishes to submit certain

information under a claim of

confidentiality, three copies of the

complete submission, including

purportedly confidential business

information, should be submitted to the

Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the street

address given above, and seven copies

from which the purportedly confidential

information has been deleted should be

submitted to the Docket Section. A

request for confidentiality should be

accompanied by a cover letter setting

forth the information specified in the

agency’s confidential business

information regulation (49 CFR 512).

All comments received before the

close of business on the comment

closing date indicated above will be

considered, and will be available for

examination in the docket at the above

address. To the extent possible,

comments filed after the closing date

will also be considered.

Those persons desiring to be notified

upon receipt of their comments in the

docket should enclosed a selfaddressed, stamped postcard in the

envelope with their comments. Upon

receiving the comments, the docket

supervisor will return the postcard by

mail.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30103 and 30162;
