[Docket No. 94–60; Notice 2]

Denial of Petition for Import Eligibility

Decision

This notice sets forth the reasons for

the denial of a petition submitted to the

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) under 49

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

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

and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (the Act)).
16700 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 62 / Friday, March 31, 1995 / Notices

The petition, which was submitted by

J.K. Motors, Inc. of Kingsville, Maryland

(J.K.), a registered importer of motor

vehicles, requested NHTSA to decide

that a 1994 Alfa Romeo 164

Quadrifoglio passenger car that was not

originally manufactured to comply with

all applicable Federal motor vehicle

safety standards is eligible for

importation into the United States

because (1) it is substantially similar to

the version of the 1994 Alfa Romeo 164

Quadrifoglio that was originally

manufactured for importation into and

sale in the United States and that was

certified by its original manufacturer,

Alfa Lancia Industriale, as complying

with the safety standards, and (2) it is

capable of being readily modified to

conform to all applicable Federal motor

vehicle safety standards.

NHTSA published a notice in the

Federal Register on August 15, 1994 (59

FR 41811) that contained a thorough

description of the petition, and solicited

public comments upon it. One comment

was received in response to this notice,

from Fiat Auto R&D U.S.A., a division

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

representative of the vehicle’s original

manufacturer.

In its comment, Fiat stated that the

structure of the non-U.S. certified Alfa

Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio differs from

that of its U.S. certified counterpart to

accommodate a different powertrain.

Fiat further stated that the vehicle’s

manufacturer determined that ‘‘without

completely redesigning the rear

portion’’ of the non-U.S. certified Alfa

Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio, it would be

‘‘extremely costly and technically

impossible’’ to bring the vehicle into

compliance with applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standards,

particularly Standard No. 301, Fuel

System Integrity, and other vehicle

crashworthiness standards.

NHTSA accorded J.K. an opportunity

to respond to Fiat’s comments. As of the

date of this notice, J.K. has failed to

submit such a response. This has

compelled NHTSA to conclude, from

the state of the record, that the petition

does not clearly demonstrate that the

non-U.S. certified version of the 1994

Alfa Romeo 164 Quadrifoglio is eligible

for importation. The petition must

therefore be denied under 49 CFR

593.7(e).

In accordance with 49 U.S.C.

30141(b)(1) (formerly section

108(c)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act), NHTSA will

not consider a new import eligibility

petition covering this vehicle until at

least three months from the date of this

notice.

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141 (a)(1)(A) and

(b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; delegations of authority

at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
