and (2) they are capable of being readily

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 Federal motor vehicle safety

standards 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 Federal motor

vehicle safety standards.

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, Inc. of Houston, Texas

(‘‘WETL’’) (Registered Importer 90–005)

has petitioned NHTSA to decide

whether 1993 Ford Mustang passenger

cars originally manufactured for the

European market are eligible for

importation into the United States. The

vehicles which WETL believes are

substantially similar are 1993 Ford

Mustang passenger cars that were

manufactured for importation into, and

sale in, the United States and certified

by their manufacturer as conforming to

all applicable Federal motor vehicle

safety standards.

The petitioner claims that it carefully

compared non-U.S. certified 1993 Ford

Mustang passenger cars to their U.S.-

certified counterparts, and found the

vehicles to be substantially similar with

respect to compliance with most Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

WETL submitted information with its

petition intended to demonstrate that

non-U.S. certified 1993 Ford Mustang

passenger cars, as originally

manufactured, conform to many Federal

motor vehicle safety standards in the

same manner as their U.S. certified

counterparts, or are capable of being

readily altered to conform to those

standards.

Specifically, the petitioner claims that

non-U.S. certified 1993 Ford Mustang

passenger cars are identical to their U.S.

certified counterparts with respect to

compliance with Standard Nos. 102

non-U.S. certified 1993 Ford Mustang

passenger cars comply with the Bumper

Standard found in 49 CFR part 581 and

the Vehicle Identification Number plate

requirement of 49 CFR part 565.

Petitioner also contends that the nonU.S. certified 1993 Ford Mustang

passenger cars are not identical to their

U.S. certified counterparts, as specified

below, but still comply with the

following Standard in the manner

indicated:

Standard No. 101 Controls and

Displays: the speedometer indicates

both kilometers per hour and mile per

hour. The odometer indicates kilometers

and is labeled as such. The brake

warning indicator meets the

Petitioner further contends that the

vehicles are capable of being readily

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 5, 2001 / Notices 30265

altered to meet the following standards,

in the manner indicated:

Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and

Rims: installation of a tire information

placard.

The petitioner also states that a

certification label must be affixed to the

driver’s side door jamb to meet the

requirements of 49 CFR part 567.

Additionally, the petitioner states that

all vehicles will be inspected prior to

importation to ensure that they are

equipped with U.S.-model anti-theft

devices, and that all vehicle that are not

so equipped will be modified to comply

with the Theft Prevention Standard at

49 CFR part 541.
