being readily altered to conform to the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

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.

Petitions for eligibility decisions may

be submitted by either manufacturers or

importers who have registered with

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR part 592. As

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA

publishes notice in the Federal Register

of each petition that it receives, and

affords interested persons an

opportunity to comment on the petition.

At the close of the comment period,

NHTSA decides, on the basis of the

petition and any comments that it has

received, whether the vehicle is eligible

for importation. The agency then

publishes this decision in the Federal

Register.

Champagne Imports, Inc. of Lansdale,

Pennsylvania (‘‘Champagne’’)

(Registered Importer 90–009) has

petitioned NHTSA to decide whether

1991 Yamaha FJ1200 (4CR) motorcycles

are eligible for importation into the

United States. The vehicle which

Champagne believes is substantially

similar is the 1991 Yamaha FJ1200

(4CR) motorcycle that was

manufactured for importation into, and

sale in, the United States and certified

by its manufacturer as conforming to all

applicable Federal motor vehicle safety

standards.

The petitioner claims that it carefully

compared the non-U.S. certified 1991

Yamaha FJ1200 (4CR) motorcycle to its

U.S. certified counterpart, and found the

two vehicles to be substantially similar

with respect to compliance with most

Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Champagne submitted information

with its petition intended to

demonstrate that the non-U.S. certified

1991 Yamaha FJ1200 (4CR) motorcycle,

as originally manufactured, conforms to

many Federal motor vehicle safety

standards in the same manner as its U.S.

certified counterpart, or is capable of

being readily altered to conform to those

standards.

Specifically, the petitioner claims that

the 1991 Yamaha FJ1200 (4CR) is

identical to its U.S. certified counterpart

with respect to compliance with

Standards Nos. 106 Brake Hoses, 111

Rearview Mirrors, 115 Vehicle

Identification Number, 116 Motor

Vehicle Brake Fluids, 122 Motorcycle

Brake Systems and 205 Glazing

Materials.

The petitioner further contends that

the vehicle is capable of being readily

altered to meet the following standards,

in the manner indicated:

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective

Devices, and Associated Equipment: (a)

Installation of a U.S. model headlamp;

(b) installation of a U.S. model flasher

relay/lamp assembly; (c) installation of

a U.S. model taillamp assembly.

Standard No. 119 New Pneumatic

tires for Vehicles other than Passenger

Cars: Replacement of the original tires

with ones that bear the DOT marking

and a tire identification number.

Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and

Rims for Motor Vehicles other than

Passenger Cars: Installation of a tire

information placard.

Standard No. 123 Motorcycle Controls

and Displays: Replacement of the

speedometer/odometer with one

calibrated in miles per hour.

Interested persons are invited to

submit comments on the petition

described above. Comments should refer

to the docket number and be submitted

to: Docket Section, National Highway

Traffic Safety Administration, Room

5109, 400 Seventh Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20590. It is requested

but not required that 10 copies be

submitted.

All comments received before the

close of business on the closing date

indicated above will be considered, and

will be available for examination in the

docket at the above address both before

and after that date. To the extent

possible, comments filed after the

closing date will also be considered.

Notice of final action on the petition

will be published in the Federal

Register pursuant to the authority

indicated below.
