Petition for Exemption 

Docket No.: FAA–2022–0553. 

Petitioner: Trans Executive Airlines of 

Hawaii d/b/a Transair Express. 

Section(s) of 14 CFR Affected: § 60.17. 

Description of Relief Sought: Transair 

Express and several other operators 

continue to operate the SD3–60 aircraft, 

but there is only one remaining SD3–60 

flight simulator in operation. Once 

withdrawn from operation, and without 

a suitable FAA-certified simulator 

available, FAA-certified SD3–60 

operators would be forced to conduct 

required flight crew training onboard 

aircraft during flights. This situation 

would negatively impact aviation safety, 

increase public risk, and ultimately 

degrade readiness for U.S. and allied 

military customers. Transair Express 

therefore seeks an exemption from 

certain requirements of 14 CFR part 60 

to enable the continuing qualification of 

the SD3–60 flight simulator and an 

extension of the time period allowed to 

requalify the simulator to March 31, 

2023. The grant of this exemption will 

allow Transair Express and other SD3– 

60 operators to continue to provide 

training for their flight crews and 

provide access to training to other FAAcertified Shorts SD3–60 operators.

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

[Docket No. NHTSA–2018–0106; Notice 2] 

Daimler Vans USA, LLC, Denial of 

Petition for Decision of 

Inconsequential Noncompliance 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of petition denial. 

SUMMARY: Daimler Vans USA, LLC, 

(Daimler Vans) on behalf of Daimler AG, 

has determined that certain model year 

(MY) 2016–2018 Mercedes-Benz Metris 

vans do not fully comply with Federal 

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 

No. 110, Tire Selection and Rims and 

Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer 

Load Carrying Capacity Information for 

Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 

kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less. 

Daimler Vans filed a noncompliance 

report dated October 24, 2018, and later 

amended it on November 9, 2018. 

Daimler Vans also petitioned NHTSA on 

November 9, 2018, for a decision that 

the subject noncompliance is 

inconsequential as it relates to motor 

vehicle safety. This document 

announces and explains the denial of 

Daimler Vans’ petition. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ahmad Barnes, Office of Vehicle Safety 

Compliance, the National Highway 

Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

(202) 366–7236. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Overview: Daimler Vans has 

determined that certain MY 2016–2018 

Mercedes-Benz Metris vans do not fully 

comply with paragraphs S4.2.2.2 of 

FMVSS No. 110, Tire Selection and 

Rims and Motor Home/Recreation 

Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity 

Information for Motor Vehicles with a 

GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 

pounds) or Less (49 CFR 571.110). 

Daimler Vans filed a noncompliance 

report dated October 24, 2018, and later 

amended it on November 9, 2018, 

pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and 

Noncompliance Responsibility and 

Reports. Daimler Vans also petitioned 

NHTSA on November 9, 2018, for an 

exemption from the notification and 

remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. 

Chapter 301 on the basis that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety, pursuant 

to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 

49 CFR part 556, Exemption for 

Inconsequential Defect or 

Noncompliance. 

Notice of receipt of Daimler Vans’ 

petition was published with a 30-day 

public comment period, on September 

16, 2019, in the Federal Register (84 FR 

48702). No comments were received. To 

view the petition and all supporting 

documents log onto the Federal Docket 

Management System (FDMS) website at 

https://www.regulations.gov. Then 

follow the online search instructions to 

locate docket number ‘‘NHTSA–2018– 

0106.’’ 

II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately 

24,438 MY 2016–2018 Mercedes BenzMetris vans, manufactured between 

June 1, 2016, and September 28, 2018, 

are potentially involved. 

III. Noncompliance: Manufacturers 

are permitted to install passenger car 

tires on a multipurpose passenger 

vehicle (MPV), truck, bus, or trailer. 

However, when passenger car tires are 

used in one of these other light vehicle 

applications, paragraph S4.2.2.2 of 

FMVSS No. 110, provides that each 

tire’s maximum load rating is to be 

reduced by dividing it by a factor of 1.10 

before the manufacturer determines the 

maximum load ratings of the tires fitted 

to each axle. For the equipped tires on 

the Daimler Vans, the pre S4.2.2.2 

adjustment tire specifications (based on 

a tire load rating with a load index of 

101) yields a load capacity of 825 kg 

(1,818 pounds) per tire and 1,650 kg 

(3,637 pounds) per axle. Specifically, 

the subject vehicles were certified with 

a maximum load rating of 775 kg (1,708 

pounds) per tire or 1,550 kg (3,417 

pounds) combined per axle. However, 

after dividing each tire specification tire 

capacity value by 1.1 and thereby 

reducing the maximum load rating, the 

tires on the subject vehicles have an 

adjusted maximum load rating of 750 kg 

(1,653pounds) per tire and 1,500 kg 

(3,307 pounds) per axle—values below 

the certified GAWR (Gross Axle Weight 

Rating) for the front and rear axles. 

IV. Rule Requirements: Paragraphs 

S4.2.2.1 and S4.2.2.2 of FMVSS No. 110 

include the requirements relevant to 

this petition. Section S4.2.2.1 requires 

the sum of the maximum load ratings of 

the tires fitted to an axle shall not be 

less than the GAWR of the axle system 

as specified on the vehicle’s 

certification label required by 49 CFR 

part 567. Section S4.2.2.2, further 

requires that when passenger car tires 

are installed on an MPV, truck, bus, or 

trailer, each tire’s load rating is reduced 

by dividing it by 1.10 before 

determining, under paragraph S4.2.2.1, 

the sum of the maximum load ratings of 

the tires fitted to an axle. 

V. Summary of Daimler Van’s 

Petition: The following views and 

arguments presented in this section, ‘‘V. 

Summary of Daimler Vans’ Petition,’’ 

are the views and arguments provided 

by Daimler Vans and do not reflect the 

views of the Agency. In its petition, 

Daimler Vans describes the subject 

noncompliance and contends that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential as it 

relates to motor vehicle safety for the 

following reasons: 

1. There is no safety risk posed with 

this noncompliance because the tires are 

designed to carry significantly more 

than the GAWR listed on the 

certification label.
