[Docket No. NHTSA–99–6209; Notice 2]

American Transportation Corp., Partial

Grant and Partial Denial of Application

for Decision of Inconsequential

Noncompliance

American Transportation Corporation

(AmTran) has determined certification

labels on its AmTran buses are not in

full compliance with Federal Motor

Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.

120, ‘‘Tire selection and rims for motor

vehicles other than passenger cars,’’ and

49 CFR part 567, ‘‘Certification,’’ and

has filed an appropriate report pursuant

to 49 CFR Part 573, ‘‘Defect and

Noncompliance Reports.’’ AmTran has

also applied to be exempted from the

notification and remedy requirements of

49 U.S.C. Chapter 301—‘‘Motor Vehicle

Safety’’ on the basis that the

noncompliances and the failures to meet

part 567 are inconsequential to motor

vehicle safety.

Notice of receipt of the application

was published, with a 30-day comment

period, on September 27, 1999, in the

Federal Register (64 FR 52118). NHTSA

received no comments.

From October 27, 1991 through

February 11, 1999, AmTran produced

1,514 buses with incorrect certification

labels. AmTran states that the tire

inflation pressure, as it is written on the

certification label required by part 567,

cannot support the weight capacity of

the bus. AmTran has determined that a

majority of the certification labels

specify an inflation pressure that is five
