Withdrawal of Petition for Import Eligibility Determination

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (``NHTSA'') 
published notice in the Federal Register on October 26, 1993 (58 FR 
57666) that it had received from Champagne Imports, Inc. of Lansdale, 
Pennsylvania, a Registered Importer of motor vehicles, a petition for a 
determination that a 1993 Jaguar XJ6 that was not originally 
manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 
standards is eligible for importation into the United States. Such a 
petition may be granted under section 108(c)(3)(C)(i)(I) of the 
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and 49 CFR part 593 if 
the Registered Importer demonstrates (1) that the vehicle is 
substantially similar to a vehicle that was originally manufactured for 
importation into and sale in the United States and that was certified 
by its manufacturer as complying with the safety standards, and (2) 
that it is capable of being readily modified to conform to the 
standards. Following publication of the notice, Champagne Imports 
informed NHTSA that it was unable to demonstrate such compliance for 
the 1993 Jaguar XJ6 and that, accordingly, its petition was being 
withdrawn.
    NHTSA possesses insufficient information to determine independently 
whether the 1993 Jaguar XJ6 is capable of being readily modified to 
conform to the standards, and therefore will make no decision regarding 
that vehicle at this time.

    Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(A)(i)(I) and (C)(ii); 49 CFR 
593.7; delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

    Issued on: May 3, 1994.
William A. Boehly,
Associate Administrator for Enforcement.
