14480 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 52 / Friday, March 17, 1995 / Notices

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

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

(formerly section 108(c)(3)(A)(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.

G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc., of

Santa Ana, California (Registered

Importer R–90–007) petitioned NHTSA

to decide whether 1973 Ferrari Dino 246

GTS passenger cars are eligible for

importation into the United States.

NHTSA published notice of the petition

on December 28, 1994 (59 FR 67002) to

afford an opportunity for public

comment. The reader is referred to that

notice for a thorough description of the

petition.

One comment was received in

response to the notice of the petition,

from Fiat Auto U.S.A., Inc. (Fiat), the

United States representative of Ferrari.

In its comment, Fiat stated that Ferrari,

and other companies within the Fiat

Group, have invested considerable

resources in the design and production

of vehicles that comply with the Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

Although it stated that it has not

determined what modifications are

necessary to bring a vehicle into

compliance with the Federal safety

standards, Fiat contended that it is not

possible to achieve such compliance by

simply retrofitting a vehicle built for the

European market, without conducting

extensive development and testing.

Because Fiat’s comments did not

specify how non-U.S. certified 1973

Ferrari Dino 246 GTS passenger cars are

incapable of being readily altered to

conform to the standards, there was no

basis for NHTSA to solicit a response

from the petitioner. As they have been

performed with relative ease on

thousands of vehicles imported over the

years, none of the modifications

described in the petition would

preclude NHTSA from determining that

non-U.S. certified 1973 Ferrari Dino 246

GTS passenger cars are eligible for

importation. NHTSA has accordingly

decided to grant the petition.

Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject

Vehicles

The importer of a vehicle admissible

under any final decision must indicate

on the form HS–7 accompanying entry

the appropriate vehicle eligibility

number indicating that the vehicle is

eligible for entry. VSP 107 is the vehicle

eligibility number assigned to vehicles

admissible under this decision.

Final Determination

Accordingly, on the basis of the

foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides that a

1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS not

originally manufactured to comply with

all applicable Federal motor vehicle

safety standards is substantially similar

to a 1973 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS

originally manufactured for importation

into and sale in the United States and

certified under 49 U.S.C. § 30115, and is

capable of being readily altered to

conformed to all applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 3014(a)(1)(A) and

(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8; delegations of authority

at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

Issued on: March 14, 1995.

Harry Thompson,

Acting Director, Office of Vehicle Safety

Compliance.
