49 CFR Part 571

[Docket 95–79, Notice 2]

RIN 2127–AG01

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard;

Steering Control Rearward

Displacement

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Proposed Rule, extension of

comment period.

SUMMARY: On November 16, 1995, (60

FR 57565) the agency published a

proposal to exclude certain vehicles

from the application of Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard No. 204,

Steering Control Rearward

Displacement. The excluded vehicles

would be passenger cars and other light

vehicles that are certified to comply

with the frontal barrier crash test

requirements of the agency’s occupant

crash protection standard by means of

an airbag. A 60-day comment period

was announced for that proposal.

Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety

requested an extension of the period to

submit written comments. Advocates

urged the agency to extend the time to

comment, due to significant demands

on their staff, responding to other

NHTSA dockets and participation in

NHTSA Negotiated Rulemaking

meetings in January. The agency agrees

that the unusual coincidence of

numerous agency activities of interest to

Advocates may result in inadequate

time to respond to this notice.

Additionally the agency recognizes the

limited resources available to

commenters during this holiday season.

Therefore, by this notice, the agency

extends the comment period for another

30 days.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by February 15, 1996.

ADDRESSES: All written comments

should be mailed to the Docket Section,

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, Room 5109, 400 7th

Street, SW, Washington, DC 20590.

Please refer to the docket number of the

original docket, that is Docket 95–79;

Notice 1, when submitting written

comments.
