[Docket No. NHTSA-2005-22971; Notice 1]


Weekend Warrior Trailers, Inc., Receipt of Petition for Decision 
of Inconsequential Noncompliance

    Weekend Warrior Trailers, Inc. (Weekend Warrior) has determined 
that certain ramp-equipped travel trailers that it produced in 2001 
through 2005 do not comply with 49 CFR 571.108, Federal Motor Vehicle 
Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108, ``Lamps, reflective devices, and 
associated equipment.'' Weekend Warrior has filed an appropriate report 
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, ``Defect and Noncompliance Reports.''
    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h), Weekend Warrior has 
petitioned for an exemption from the notification and remedy 
requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this 
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
    This notice of receipt of Weekend Warrior's petition is published 
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency 
decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the 
petition.
    Affected are a total of approximately 13,447 ramp-equipped travel 
trailers produced between January 2001 and September 2005. FMVSS No. 
108 requires that these vehicles be equipped with amber intermediate 
side marker lamps and reflex reflectors, and red identification lamps. 
However, the subject vehicles are not equipped with these devices.
    Weekend Warrior believes that the noncompliance is inconsequential 
to motor vehicle safety and that no corrective action is warranted. 
Weekend Warrior states that the noncompliance has caused no safety 
related accidents or injuries, and that it has received no customer 
complaints or notification of injuries or deaths related to the absence 
of the required items.
    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and 
arguments on the petition described above. Comments must refer to the 
docket and notice number cited at the beginning of this notice and be
