National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
Annual List of Nonconforming Vehicles Determined To Be Eligible
for Importation
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Annual list of nonconforming vehicles determined to be eligible
for importation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice lists all vehicles not originally manufactured to
comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards that
have been determined, as of December 31, 1993, to be eligible for
importation into the United States.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Bayler, Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5306).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 108(c)(3)(A)(i) of the
National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, (15 U.S.C. 1381 et seq.)
(the Act), a motor vehicle that was not originally manufactured to
conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards shall
be refused admission into the United States on and after January 31,
1990, unless the Secretary of Transportation has determined that the
motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle originally
manufactured for importation into and sale in the United States,
certified under section 114 of the Act, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being
readily modified to conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle
safety standards. Where there is no substantially similar U.S.-
certified vehicle, a vehicle that does not conform to all applicable
Federal motor vehicle safety standards may be admitted into the United
States if the Secretary determines that the safety features of the
vehicle comply with, or are capable of being modified to comply with,
those standards based on destructive test data or such other evidence
that the Secretary determines to be adequate.
Section 108(c)(3)(C)(i) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(C)(i),
authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to make import eligibility
determinations ``(I) on the petition of any registered importer or any
manufacturer, or (II) on the Secretary's own initiative.'' The
Secretary's authority to make these determinations has been delegated
to the Administrator of NHTSA under 49 CFR 1.50(a). The Administrator
redelegated to the Associate Administrator for Enforcement the
authority to grant or deny petitions for import eligibility
determinations submitted by motor vehicle manufacturers and registered
importers (49 CFR 501.8(g)(3)). Thus far, a number of import
eligibility determinations have been made on the Administrator's own
initiative, and the Associate Administrator has granted many petitions
for such determinations submitted by registered importers.
Section 108(c)(3)(C)(iv) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(C)(iv),
requires the annual publication in the Federal Register of a list of
all such determinations. That list is set forth in Annex A and is
current as of December 31, 1993.
Each vehicle on the list is preceded by a vehicle eligibility
number. The importer of a vehicle admissible under any eligibility
determination must write that number on the Form HS-7 accompanying
entry to indicate that the vehicle is eligible for importation. ``VSA''
eligibility numbers are assigned to all vehicles that are determined to
be eligible for importation on the initiative of the Administrator.
``VSP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are
determined to be eligible under section 108(c)(3)(C)(i)(I) of the Act,
based on a petition from a manufacturer or registered importer which
establishes that a substantially similar U.S.-certified vehicle exists.
``VCP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are
determined to be eligible under section 108(c)(3)(C)(i)(II) of the Act,
based on a petition from a manufacturer or registered importer which
establishes that the vehicle has safety features that comply with, or
are capable of being modified to comply with, all applicable Federal
motor vehicle safety standards. Vehicles for which eligibility
determinations have been made are listed in Annex A alphabetically by
make. Eligible models within each make are listed numerically by
``VSA,'' ``VSP,'' or ``VCP'' number.
Section 108(i) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 1397(i), provides that ``any
motor vehicle that is 25 or more years old'' is not subject to the
Act's importation restrictions. Such vehicles may therefore be imported
into the United States without regard to their compliance with
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards. Since the
importation of a vehicle more than 25 years old is not conditioned on
the existence of an eligibility determination, NHTSA has amended its
eligibility determinations so that they no longer apply to such
vehicles.
Authority: 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(C)(iv); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
Issued on: February 15, 1994.
William A. Boehly,
Associate Administrator for Enforcement.
