SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a 

motor vehicle that was not originally 

manufactured to conform to all 

applicable FMVSS, and has no 

substantially similar U.S.-certified 

counterpart, shall be refused admission 

into the United States unless NHTSA 

has decided that the motor vehicle has 

safety features that comply with, or are 

capable of being altered to comply with, 

all applicable FMVSS 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 

importers who have registered with 

NHTSA pursuant to 49 CFR Part 592. As 

specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA 

publishes notices in the Federal 

Register for each petition that it 

receives, and affords interested persons 

an opportunity to comment on the 

petitions. At the close of the comment 

period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of 

the petitions and any comments that it 

has received, whether the vehicle(s) is 

eligible for importation. The agency 

then publishes their decision in the 

Federal Register. 

G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc. of 

Santa Ana, California (G&K) (Registered 

Importer 90–007) has petitioned NHTSA 

to decide whether nonconforming 1987– 

1988 Leyland Motors Olympian open 

top model double decker buses are 

eligible for importation into the United 

States. 

G&K submitted information with its 

petition intended to demonstrate that 

non-U.S. certified 1987–1988 Leyland 

Motors Olympian open top model 

double decker buses, as originally 

manufactured, conform to many 

FMVSS, or are capable of being altered 

to conform to those standards. 

Specifically, the petitioner claims that 

non-U.S. certified 1987–1988 Leyland 

Motors Olympian open top model 

double decker buses, as originally 

manufactured, comply with Standard 

Nos. 102 Transmission Shift Lever 

Sequence, Starter Interlock, and 

Transmission Braking Effect, 103 

Windshield Defrosting and Defogging 

Systems, 104 Windshield Wiping and 

Washing Systems, 105 Vehicle 

Identification Number—Basic 

Requirements, 106 Brake Hoses, 107 

Reflecting Surfaces, 111 Rearview 

Mirrors, 119 New Pneumatic Tires for 

Vehicles other than Passenger Cars, 121 

Air Brake Systems, 124 Accelerator 

Control Systems, 205 Glazing Materials, 

207 Seating Systems, 217 Bus 

Emergency Exits and Window Retention 

and Release, and 302 Flammability of 

Interior Materials. 

With regard to Standard No. 121 Air 

Brake Systems, the petition asserts that 

all elements of the braking system 

comply with the applicable FMVSS No. 

121 requirements. The petitioner further 

explains that the subject vehicle’s brake 

system is similar to that installed on the 

1972 to 1977 Bristol VRT double decker 

buses that NHTSA determined eligible 

for importation by Registered Importers 

under VCP–4 and VCP–10. NHTSA is 

concerned that the brake system on the 

vehicles that are the subject of the 

petition may not, in fact, have been 

originally manufactured to comply with 

all requirements of Standard No. 121. 

As a consequence, the agency is 

soliciting specific comments with 

respect to this issue. 

Petitioner also contends that the 

vehicle is capable of being altered to 

meet the following standards, in the 

manners indicated: 

Standard No. 101 Controls and 

Displays: Installation of a seat belt 

telltale lamp and label to ensure that 

these displays meet the requirements of 

this standard. 

Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective 

Devices and Associated Equipment: 

Installation of the following U.S.- 

conforming components: (a) Headlamps; 

(b) clearance lamps; (c) identification 

lamps; (d) side marker lamps; (e) reflex 

reflectors; and (f) license plate lamps as 

necessary to meet the requirements of 

this standard. 

Standard No. 120 New Pneumatic 

Tires for Vehicles Other than Passenger 

Cars: Installation of a tire information 

placard. 

Standard No. 208 Occupant Crash 

Protection: Installation of a driver’s seat 

belt and an audible seat belt warning 

system to meet the requirements of this 

standard. 

Standard No. 209 Seat Belt 

Assemblies: Installation of driver’s seat 

belt that meets the requirements of this 

standard. 

Standard No. 210 Seat Belt Assembly 

Anchorages: Installation of driver’s seat 

belt anchorages that meet the 

requirements of this standard. 

All comments received before the 

close of business on the closing date 

indicated above will be considered, and 

will be available for examination in the 

docket at the above addresses both 

before and after that date. To the extent 

possible, comments filed after the 

closing date will also be considered. 

Notice of final action on the petition 

will be published in the Federal 

Register pursuant to the authority 

indicated below. 

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