[Docket No. NHTSA 2005–22118; Notice 2] 

Eaton Aeroquip, Inc., Grant of Petition 

for Decision of Inconsequential 

Noncompliance 

Eaton Aeroquip, Inc. (Eaton) has 

determined that the end fittings that it 

produced for nylon air brake hoses do 

not comply with S7.2.2(d) of 49 CFR 

571.106, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety 

Standard (FMVSS) No. 106, ‘‘Brake 

hoses.’’ Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) 

and 30120(h), Eaton has petitioned for 

a determination that this 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety and has filed an 

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR 

part 573, ‘‘Defect and Noncompliance 

Reports.’’ Notice of receipt of a petition 

was published, with a 30-day comment 

period, on August 25, 2005, in the 

Federal Register (70 FR 49972). NHTSA 

received no comments. 

Affected are a total of approximately 

7,784,614 end fittings produced from 

2001 to June 30, 2005, plus an 

indeterminate number of end fittings 

produced prior to 2001 for which 

records are not available (Eaton 

acquired the end fitting manufacturing 

business on November 1, 2002). 

S7.2.2(d) of FMVSS No. 106 requires 

that each fitting shall be etched, 

embossed, or stamped with 

(d) The * * * outside diameter of the 

plastic tubing to which the fitting is properly 

attached expressed in inches or fractions of 

inches or in millimeters followed by the 

letters OD * * *. 

The subject end fittings are missing 

the letters OD from their labels. 

Eaton believes that the 

noncompliance is inconsequential to 

motor vehicle safety and that no 

corrective action is warranted. Eaton 

states that the purpose of the letters OD 

on the label is to indicate that the 

measurement refers to the outside
