Wallace Environmental Testing

Laboratories, Inc. of Houston, Texas

(‘‘Wallace’’) (Registered Importer 90–

005) has petitioned NHTSA to decide

whether 1973 Triumph Spitfire MkIV

passenger cars are eligible for

importation into the United States. The

vehicle which Wallace believes is

substantially similar is the 1973

Triumph Spitfire MkIV that was

manufactured for importation into, and

sale in, the United States and certified

by its manufacturer, British Leyland, as

conforming to all applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

The petitioner claims that it carefully

compared the non-U.S. certified 1973

Triumph Spitfire MkIV to its U.S.

certified counterpart, and found the two

vehicles to be substantially similar with

respect to compliance with most Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

Wallace submitted information with

its petition intended to demonstrate that

the non-U.S. certified 1973 Triumph

Spitfire MkIV, as originally

manufactured, conforms to many

Federal motor vehicle safety standards

in the same manner as its U.S. certified

counterpart, or is capable of being

readily altered to conform to those

standards.

Specifically, the petitioner claims that

the non-U.S. certified 1973 Triumph

Spitfire MkIV is identical to its U.S.

certified counterpart with respect to

compliance with Standards Nos. 102
