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 Sates 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, 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(A)(i)(II))

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

NHTSA decides to be adequate.

Petitions for eligibility decisions may

be submitted by either manufacturers or

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

Wallace Environmental Testing

Laboratories, Inc. of Houston, Texas

(‘‘Wallace’’) (Registered Importer R–90–

005) has petitioned NHTSA to decide

whether 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo

passenger cars are eligible for

importation into the United States. The

vehicle which Wallace believes is

substantially similar is the 1994 Porsche

911 Turbo. Wallace has submitted

information indicating that the 1994

Porsche 911 Turbo was certified as

conforming to all applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standards and was

offered for sale in the United States.

The petitioner contends that it

carefully compared the 964 and the 911

Turbos, and found the two models to be

substantially similar with respect to

compliance with most applicable

Federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Wallace submitted information with

its petition intended to demonstrate that

the 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo, as

originally manufactured, conforms to

many Federal motor vehicle safety

standards in the same manner as the

1994 Porsche 911 Turbo that was

offered for sale in the United States, or

is capable of being readily altered to

conform to those standards.

Specifically, the petitioner claims that

the 1994 Porsche 964 Turbo is identical

to the certified 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo

with respect to compliance with
