SUMMARY: The Administrator for Federal

Council, is sponsoring a meeting to

solicit public comments on the

implementation of Section 4301(b) of

the National Defense Authorization Act

for Fiscal Year 1996 (Public Law 104–

Administrator for Federal Procurement

Policy to issue for public comment a

proposal to amend the FAR to remove

certification requirements for

contractors and offerors that are not

specifically imposed by statute. The Act

provides the Administrator with

authority to retain, under certain

circumstances, certification

requirements that are not specifically

imposed by statute. In an effort to get

public input in the rulemaking process

prior to publishing a proposed rule, the

FAR Council is inviting interested

parties to participate in a public meeting

on implementation of the Act.

DATES: Public Meeting: A public meeting

will be conducted at the address shown

below from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., eastern

daylight time, on June 3, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Public Meeting: The

location of the public meeting is the

White House Conference Center, 726

Jackson Place, NW, Washington, DC

20503. An interactive meeting,

consisting of open discussion among the

FAR Council members, other

government representatives (from the

procurement, legal, and Inspector

General communities), and industry is

planned. Individuals who would like to

participate or submit a formal statement

shall, by May 28, 1996, notify: Defense

Administration

49 CFR Part 571

[Docket No. 88–06, Notice 25]

RIN 2127–AE49

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standards; Side Impact Protection—

Light Trucks, Buses and Multipurpose

Passenger Vehicles

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Denial of petition for

reconsideration.

SUMMARY: This document denies a

petition from Toyota Motor Corporate

Services of North America (‘‘Toyota’’)

for reconsideration of the agency’s final

rule that extended Safety Standard 214’s

dynamic side impact testing

requirements to light trucks,

multipurpose passenger vehicles and

buses with a gross vehicle weight rating

(GVWR) of 6,000 (lb) or less. Toyota

requested that instead of using GVWR as

the attribute for identifying vehicles to

be excluded from the new requirements,

NHTSA should exclude vehicles based

on the height of their seating reference

point. The agency is denying the

petition because NHTSA believes

Toyota’s approach would exclude some

vehicles that are and should remain

subject to the dynamic side impact

requirements.
