(A) If SAE International (or its successor 
organization) revises the definition of any of the 
terms defined in subparagraph (A), (B), or (D) 
of paragraph (1) in Recommended Practice Re-
port J3016, it shall notify the Secretary of the 
revision. The Secretary shall publish a notice in 
the Federal Register to inform the public of the 
new definition unless, within 90 days after re-
ceiving notice of the new definition and after 
opening a period for public comment on the 
new definition, the Secretary notifies SAE 
International (or its successor organization) 
that the Secretary has determined that the new 
definition does not meet the need for motor ve-
hicle safety, or is otherwise inconsistent with 
the purposes of chapter 301 of title 49, United 
States Code. If the Secretary so notifies SAE 
International (or its successor organization), 
the existing definition in paragraph (1) shall re-
main in effect. 
(B) If the Secretary does not reject a defi-
nition revised by SAE International (or its suc-
cessor organization) as described in subpara-
graph (A), the Secretary shall promptly make

(C) Pursuant to section 553 of title 5, 
United States Code, the Secretary may update 
any of the definitions in subparagraph (A), (B),

regarding highly automated vehicles have im-
pacted motor vehicle safety such that the defini-
tions need to be updated to reflect such cir-
cumstances.
