DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

[Docket 37554]

Order Adjusting the Standard Foreign

Fare Level Index

Section 41509(e) of Title 49 of the

United States Code requires that the

Department, as successor to the Civil

Aeronautics Board, establish a Standard

Foreign Fare Level (SFFL) by adjusting

the SFFL base periodically by

percentage changes in actual operating

costs per available seat-mile (ASM).

Order 80–2–69 established the first

interim SFFL, and Order 95–2–9

established the currently effective twomonth SFFL applicable through March

31, 1995.

We will, however, no longer publish

a SFFL for U.S.-Canada markets. Under

the terms of the new Air Transport

Agreement between the United States

and Canada, effective February 24, 1995,

transborder fares are no longer subject to

unilateral disapproval by either

government, and routine tariff-filing

requirements are eliminated. Thus,

there is no longer a need to compute a

SFFL for the Canadian Entity.

In establishing the SFFL for the twomonth period beginning April 1, 1995,

we have projected non-fuel costs based

on the year ended December 31, 1994

data, and have determined fuel prices

on the basis of the latest available

experienced monthly fuel cost levels as

reported to the Department.

By Order 95–4–2 fares may be

increased by the following adjustment

factors over the October 1979 level:

Atlantic...................................................1.4249

Latin America ........................................1.4360

Pacific.....................................................1.6602

Order Adjusting International Cargo

Rate Flexibility Level

Policy Statement PS–109,

implemented by Regulation ER–1322 of

the Civil Aeronautics Board and

adopted by the Department, established

geographic zones of cargo pricing

flexibility within which certain cargo

rate tariffs filed by carriers would be

subject to suspension only in

extraordinary circumstances.

The Standard Foreign Rate Level

(SFRL) for a particular market is the rate

in effect on April 1, 1982, adjusted for

the cost experience of the carriers in the

applicable ratemaking entity. The first

adjustment was effective April 1, 1983.

By Order 95–2–8, the Department

established the currently effective SFRL

adjustments.

In establishing the SFRL for the twomonth period beginning April 1, 1995,

we have projected non-fuel costs based

on the year ended December 31, 1994

data, and have determined fuel prices

on the basis of the latest available

experienced monthly fuel cost levels as

reported to the Department.

By Order 95–4–1 cargo rates may be

adjusted by the following adjustment

factors over the April 1, 1982 level:

Atlantic...................................................1.2505

Western Hemisphere .............................1.1483

Pacific.....................................................1.2965

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration

[Docket No. 95–23; Notice 1]

Receipt of Petition for Decision That

Nonconforming 1992 Kenworth T800

Trucks Are Eligible for Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of receipt of petition for

decision that nonconforming 1992

Kenworth T800 trucks are eligible for

importation.

SUMMARY: This notice announces receipt

by the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration (NHTSA) of a petition

for a decision that a 1992 Kenworth

T800 truck 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 a vehicle that

was originally manufactured for

importation into and sale in the United

States and that was certified by its

manufacturer as complying with the

safety standards, and (2) it is capable of

being readily altered to conform to the

standards.

DATE: The closing date for comments on

the petition is May 8, 1995.

ADDRESS: Comments should refer to the

docket number and notice number, and

be submitted to: Docket Section, Room

5109, National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration, 400 Seventh St., SW.,

Washington, DC 20590. [Docket hours

are from 9:30 am to 4 pm.]

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted

Bayler, Office of Vehicle Safety

Compliance, NHTSA (202–366–5306).

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.

G&K Automative Conversion, Inc. of

Santa Ana, California (‘‘G&K’’)

(Registered Importer 90–007) has

petitioned NHTSA to decide whether

1992 Kenworth T800 trucks

manufactured by Kenworth Mexicana,

SA of Mexicali, Mexico, are eligible for

importation into the United States. The

vehicle which G&K believes is

substantially similar is the 1992

Kenworth T800 that was manufactured

for sale in the United States and

certified by its manufacturer, PACCAR

of Bellevue, Washington (the corporate

parent of Kenworth Mexicana), as

conforming to all applicable Federal

motor vehicle safety standards.

The petitioner claims that it carefully

compared the non-U.S. certified 1992

Kenworth T800 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.

G&K submitted information with its

petition intended to demonstrate that

the non-U.S. certified 1992 Kenworth

T800, 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 non-U.S. certified 1992 Kenworth

T800 is identical to its U.S. certified

counterpart with respect to compliance

with Standards Nos. 102 Transmission

Shift Lever Sequence * * *., 103

Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104

Windshield Wiping and Washing

Systems, 105 Hydraulic Brake Systems,

106 Brake Hoses, 107 Reflecting

Surfaces, 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices

and Associated Equipment, 111

Rearview Mirrors, 113 Hood Latch

Systems, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for

Vehicles other than Passenger Cars, 121

Air Brake Systems, 124 Accelerator

Control Systems, 205 Glazing Materials,

206 Door Locks and Door Retention

Components, 208 Occupant Crash

Protection, 209 Seat Belt Assemblies,

210 Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages,

and 302 Flammability of Interior

Materials.

Petitioner also contends that the

vehicle is capable of being readily

altered to meet the following standards,

in the manner indicated:

Standard No. 101 Controls and

Displays: Inscription of the word

‘‘Brake’’ on the brake failure indicator

lamp.

Standard No. 115 Vehicle

Identification Number: Installation of

the required certification label.

Standard No. 120 Tire Selection and

Rims for Motor Vehicles other than

Passenger Cars: Installation of a tire

information placard.

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
