National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration

Annual List of Nonconforming

Vehicles Decided To Be Eligible for

Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Safety

Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Annual list of nonconforming

vehicles decided to be eligible for

importation.

SUMMARY: This notice lists all vehicles

not originally manufactured to comply

with all applicable Federal motor

vehicle safety standards that have been

decided, as of January 27, 1995, to be

eligible for importation into the United

States.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ted Bayler, Office of Vehicle Safety

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–5306).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49

U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) (formerly section

108(c)(3)(A)(i)(I) of the National Traffic

and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (the Act)),

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

(formerly section 114 of the Act), 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. Where there is

no substantially similar U.S.-certified

motor vehicle, 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B)

(formerly section 108(c)(3)(A)(i)(II) of

the Act) permits a nonconforming motor

vehicle to be admitted into the United

States if its safety features comply with,

or are capable of being altered to comply

with, all applicable Federal motor

vehicle safety standards based on

destructive test data or such other

evidence as the Secretary of

Transportation decides to be adequate.

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1) (formerly

section 108(c)(3)(C)(i) of the Act),

import eligibility decisions may be

made ‘‘on the initiative of the Secretary

of Transportation or on petition of a

manufacturer or importer registered

under (49 U.S.C. 30141(c)).’’ The

Secretary’s authority to make these

decisions has been delegated to the

Administrator of NHTSA under 49 CFR

1.50(a). The Administrator redelegated

to the Associate Administrator for

Enforcement the authority to grant or

deny petitions for import eligibility

decisions submitted by motor vehicle

manufacturers and registered importers

(49 CFR 501.8(g)(3)). Thus far, a number

of import eligibility decisions have been

made on the Administrator’s own

initiative, and the Associate

Administrator has granted many

petitions for such decisions submitted

by registered importers.

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2) (formerly

section 108(c)(3)(C)(iv) of the Act), a list

of all import eligibility decisions must

be published annually in the Federal

Register. That list is set forth in Annex

A and is current as of January 27, 1995.

Each vehicle on the list is preceded by

a vehicle eligibility number. The

importer of a vehicle admissible under

any eligibility decision must write that

number on the Form HS–7

accompanying entry to indicate that the

vehicle is eligible for importation.

‘‘VSA’’ eligibility numbers are assigned

to all vehicles that are decided to be

eligible for importation on the initiative

of the Administrator. ‘‘VSP’’ eligibility
