SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Statutory Authority 

The CPSIA directed the Commission 

to ‘‘publish in the Federal Register as a 

mandatory consumer product safety 

standard the American National 

Standard for Four Wheel All-Terrain 

Vehicles Equipment Configuration, and 

Performance Requirements developed 

by the Specialty Vehicle Institute of 

America (American National Standard 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2007).’’ 15 U.S.C. 

2089(a)(1), as added by section 232 of 

the CPSIA. Accordingly, on November 

14, 2008, CPSC published a final rule 

mandating ANSI/SVIA 1–2007 as a 

consumer product safety standard. 73 

FR 67385. The final rule was codified at 

16 CFR part 1420. The Commission has 

revised the mandatory standard once in 

accordance with the revision procedures 

set out in the CPSIA. On February 29, 

2012, the Commission published a final 

rule that amended the Commission’s 

ATV standard to reference the 2010 

edition of the ANSI/SVIA standard. 77 

FR 12197. On June 14, 2017, ANSI 

notified the Commission that the 2010 

edition of the ANSI/SVIA standard had 

been revised, and that the new standard, 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017, was approved on 

June 8, 2017. 

Section 42(b) of the CPSA provides 

that, if ANSI/SVIA 1–2007 is revised 

after the Commission has published a 

Federal Register notice mandating the 

standard as a consumer product safety 

standard, ANSI must notify the 

Commission of the revision, and the 

Commission has 120 days after it 

receives that notification to issue a 

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend 

the Commission’s mandatory ATV 

standard ‘‘to include any such revision 

that the Commission determines is 

reasonably related to the safe 

performance of [ATVs] and notify the 

Institute of any provision it has 

determined not to be so related.’’ 15 

U.S.C. 2089(b)(1) and (2). Thereafter, the 

Commission has 180 days after 

publication of the proposed amendment 

to publish a final amendment to revise 

the ATV standard. Id. 

II. Evaluation of ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 contains 

requirements and test methods relating 

to ATVs, including vehicle equipment 

and configuration, vehicle speed 

capability, brake performance, pitch 

stability, electromagnetic compatibility, 

and sound level limits. The Commission 

reviewed the 2017 edition of the ANSI/ 

SVIA standard and compared it with the 

2010 edition, which is currently the 

mandated consumer product safety 

standard for ATVs. The Commission 

considers the following revisions to be 

material changes: 

D Requirements for stop lamps or 

combination tail-stop lamps on all 

categories of ATVs; 

D Requirements for reflectors for all 

categories of ATVs. 

The standard provides that it will take 

effect ‘‘beginning with 2019 model year 

vehicles.’’ As explained below, the 

Commission believes that these 

revisions are reasonably related to the 

safe performance of ATVs. 

A. Stop Lamps and Reflectors 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 Section 4.17, 

Lighting & Reflective Equipment, states 

that all ATVs shall be equipped with 

lighting and reflective devices. 

1. Stop Lamps 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 requires stop 

lamps or combination tail-stop lamps on 

all adult and transition category ATVs. 

In May 2015, CPSC requested that SVIA 

consider adding requirements relating to 

stop lamps to increase the detectability 

of ATVs. CPSC staff reviewed 1 year 

(2007) of ATV-related fatality data 

involving two ATVs colliding, and 

identified 13 rear-end collisions. Of the 

13 incidents, eight involved a leading 

ATV slowing or stopping and a 

following ATV colliding with the 

leading vehicle. Although this is only a 

preliminary analysis, the data illustrate 

a hazard pattern of rear-end collisions 

related to braking. CPSC staff 

subsequently worked with SVIA to 

develop the stop lamp requirements 

contained in ANSI/SVIA 1–2017. The 

Commission believes that adding stop 

lamp requirements in ANSI/SVIA 1– 

2017 improves the optional provision in 

the 2010 edition of the voluntary 

standard, and that this addition may 

reduce rear-end collisions related to 

non-detection of a vehicle braking. 

2. Reflectors 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 requires one 

amber reflector on each side of the ATV 

(mounted as far forward as practicable), 

one red reflector on each side of the 

ATV (mounted as far rearward as 

practicable), one red reflector on the 

rear of the vehicle, and one white 

reflector on the front of the ATV, if not 

equipped with a headlamp or 

conspicuity light. These requirements 

are for all categories of ATV. In May 

2015, CPSC requested that SVIA 

consider adding requirements relating to 

reflectors, and worked with SVIA in 

developing the reflector requirements 

contained in ANSI/SVIA 1–2017. 

Reflector use may increase the 

detectability of ATVs. CPSC staff’s 

preliminary review of 331 fatal ATVrelated vehicular collision incidents 

found that more than 30 percent of these 

incidents occurred at night and an 

additional 5 percent occurred in low 

light (i.e., dusk). Although many factors 

contribute to incidents, increasing the 

visibility of ATVs at night will raise the 

likelihood that the driver of an 

oncoming vehicle will detect the ATV. 

Early detection of an ATV may allow 

the driver of an oncoming vehicle 

sufficient time to react and avoid a 

collision. 

Because fatalities occur when ATVs 

cross public roads between fields or 

trails, CPSC believes that the 

requirement for side reflectors is crucial 

to any new efforts to increase vehicle 

visibility. The Commission believes that 

the ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 reflector 

requirements improve the 2010 edition 

of the voluntary standard (which lacked 

a reflector requirement), and that 

requirements for reflectors to increase 

the visibility of an ATV at night may 

reduce vehicular collisions related to 

non-detection of other vehicles. 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
42962 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

III. Effective Date 

The CPSIA provides a timetable for 

the Commission to issue a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (within 120 days 

of receiving notification of a revised 

ANSI/SVIA standard) and to issue a 

final rule (within 180 days of 

publication of the proposed rule), but it 

does not set an effective date. Since 

issuing the ATV standard in 2009, the 

Commission has revised it once, in 

accordance with the revision procedures 

set out in the CPSIA. Based on 

comments to the NPR from several ATV 

companies, the final rule amending the 

Commission’s ATV standard to 

reference the 2010 edition of the ANSI/ 

SVIA standard provided for an effective 

date of 60 days from publication of the 

final rule. 

Data from CPSC’s ATV Special Study 

show that 97 percent of consumers who 

reported that their vehicle had a tail 

lamp, also claimed that the vehicle had 

a stop lamp. This suggests that adding 

stop lamps to ATVs to meet the new 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 requirements will 

require minimal changes to current 

production. Additionally, reflectors are 

a low-technology product that can be 

obtained in bulk as sheets or rolls of 

tape. Attaching reflectors in the correct 

positions on ATVs does not require test 

and evaluation effort. This suggests that 

adding reflectors to ATVs to meet the 

new ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 requirements 

will require minimal design and labor 

changes. CPSC believes that the 

revisions to the 2010 edition of the 

voluntary standard will not require 

significant vehicle design and testing, 

and that a 60-day effective date for this 

proposed rule will allow companies 

sufficient time to update their 

certification labels. Thus, the 

Commission proposes that the rule 

would take effect 60 days after 

publication of a final rule in the Federal 

Register, and it would apply to ATVs 

manufactured or imported on or after 

that date. 

IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

requires that agencies review a proposed 

rule for the rule’s potential economic 

impact on small entities, including 

small businesses. Section 603 of the 

RFA generally requires that agencies 

prepare an initial regulatory flexibility 

analysis (IRFA) and make the analysis 

available to the public for comment 

when the agency publishes an NPR. 5 

U.S.C. 603. Section 605 of the RFA 

provides that an IRFA is not required if 

the agency certifies that the rule, if 

promulgated, will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. As explained 

in this section, the Commission certifies 

that ANSI/SVIA standard, if 

promulgated as a final rule, will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 5 

U.S.C. 605(b). 

The proposed rule would revise the 

mandatory ATV standard to incorporate 

the revisions in the 2017 edition of the 

ANSI/SVIA standard. The most 

significant changes involve 

requirements for brake-actuated stop 

lamps and reflectors. CSPC believes that 

the vast majority of ATVs already 

comply with these requirements. 

Consequently, the Commission 

anticipates that the cost of the changes 

required to bring ATVs that do not 

comply into compliance with the rule 

will be very low on a per-unit basis. 

Furthermore, other changes to the 

standard either increase the options for 

manufacturers in designing and 

equipping their vehicles, or are minor 

changes that clarify—but do not 

change—the standard’s requirement. For 

these reasons, the Commission certifies 

that the proposed rule will not have a 

significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. 

V. The Proposed Rule 

The proposed rule would revise 

§ 1420.3, ‘‘Requirements for four-wheel 

ATVs.’’ The current rule refers to the 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2010 standard; the 

proposed rule would replace this 

reference with the ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 

edition of the standard. 

VI. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This proposed amendment would not 

impose any information collection 

requirements. Accordingly, this rule is 

not subject to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. 

VII. Environmental Considerations 

The Commission’s regulations 

provide a categorical exemption for the 

Commission’s rules from any 

requirement to prepare an 

environmental assessment or an 

environmental impact statement as they 

‘‘have little or no potential for affecting 

the human environment.’’ 16 CFR 

1021.5(c)(2). This proposed amendment 

falls within the categorical exemption. 

VIII. Incorporation by Reference 

The Commission proposes to 

incorporate by reference ANSI/SVIA 1– 

2017. The Office of the Federal Register 

(OFR) has regulations concerning 

incorporation by reference. 1 CFR part 

51. For a proposed rule, agencies must 

discuss in the preamble to the NPR 

ways that the materials the agency 

proposes to incorporate by reference are 

reasonably available to interested 

persons or how the agency worked to 

make the materials reasonably available. 

In addition, the preamble to the 

proposed rule must summarize the 

material. 1 CFR 51.5(a). 

In accordance with the OFR’s 

requirements, section II of this preamble 

summarizes the provisions of ANSI/ 

SVIA 1–2017 that the Commission 

proposes to incorporate by reference. 

ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 is copyrighted. 

Interested persons may purchase a copy 

of ANSI/SVIA 1–2017 from Specialty 

Vehicle Institute of America, 2 Jenner, 

Suite 150, Irvine, CA 92618–3806; 

telephone: 949–727–3727 ext. 3023; 

www.svia.org. One may also inspect a

U.S. Consumer Product Safety 

Commission, Room 820, 4330 East West 

Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814, 

telephone: 301–504–7923. 

IX. Preemption 

Section 26(a) of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. 

2075(a), provides that when a consumer 

product safety standard is in effect and 

applies to a product, no state or political 

subdivision of a state may either 

establish or continue in effect a standard 

or regulation that prescribes 

requirements for the performance, 

composition, contents, design, finish, 

construction, packaging, or labeling of 

such product dealing with the same risk 

of injury unless the state requirement is 

identical to the federal standard. Section 

26(c) of the CPSA also provides that 

states or political subdivisions of states 

may apply to the Commission for an 

exemption from this preemption under 

certain circumstances. Section 232(a)(1) 

of the CPSIA refers to the rules to be 

issued under that section as ‘‘consumer 

product safety standards.’’ Therefore, 

the preemption provision of section 

26(a) of the CPSA would apply to a rule 

issued under section 232 of the CPSIA. 

X. Notice of Requirements 

The CPSA establishes certain 

requirements for product certification 

and testing. Certification of children’s 

products subject to a children’s product 

safety rule must be based on testing 

conducted by a CPSC-accepted thirdparty conformity assessment body. 15 

U.S.C. 2063(a)(2). The Commission is 

required to publish a notice of 

requirements (NOR) for the 

accreditation of third-party conformity 

assessment bodies to assess conformity 

with a children’s product safety rule to 

which a children’s product is subject. 

Id. 2063(a)(3). On August 27, 2010, the 

Commission published an NOR for 

accreditation of third-party conformity 


jstallworth on DSKBBY8HB2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 176 / Wednesday, September 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules 42963 

assessment bodies for testing ATVs 

designed or intended primarily for 

children 12 years of age or younger. 75 

FR 52616. Because the revisions to the 

2010 edition of the ANSI/SVIA standard 

would not substantially alter third-party 

conformance testing requirements for 

ATVs designed or intended primarily 

for children 12 years of age or younger, 

the current NOR for third-party testing 

of youth ATVs will remain unchanged. 

Thus, the Commission considers the 

existing accreditations that the 

Commission has accepted for testing to 

the ATV standard also cover testing to 

the revised ATV standard. 

XI. Request for Comments 

This NPR begins a rulemaking 

proceeding under section 232 of the 

CPSIA to amend the Commission’s 

mandatory ATV standard to reference 

the 2017 edition of the ANSI/SVIA 

standard. We invite all interested 

persons to submit comments on any 

aspect of this proposal. During the 

comment period, ANSI/SVIA 1–2017, 

American National Standard for FourWheel All-Terrain Vehicles Equipment 

Configuration, and Performance 

Requirements, is available for 

inspection at the CPSC’s Office of the

Standards for the Growing, Harvesting, 

Packing, and Holding of Produce for 

Human Consumption; Extension of 

Compliance Dates for Subpart E 

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, 

HHS. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug 

Administration (FDA, the Agency, or 

we) is proposing to extend, for covered 

produce other than sprouts, the dates for 

compliance with the agricultural water 

provisions in the Standards for the 

Growing, Harvesting, Packing, and 

Holding of Produce for Human 

Consumption rule. We are proposing to 

extend the compliance dates to address 

questions about the practical 

implementation of compliance with 

certain provisions and to consider how 

we might further reduce the regulatory 

burden or increase flexibility while 

continuing to achieve our regulatory 

objectives, in keeping with the 

Administration’s policies. 

DATES: Submit either electronic or 

written comments on this proposed rule 

by November 13, 2017.

period as follows. Please note that late,
