DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
49 CFR Part 567

[Docket No. 91-24; Notice 2]

 

Certification

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Technical amendments; final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice corrects a citation to the motor vehicle 
importation regulation that was in effect until January 31, 1990 (19 
CFR 12.80) and which has been superseded by a new regulation (49 CFR 
part 591).

EFFECTIVE DATES: The amendment is effective on December 13, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Shifflett, Office of 
Enforcement, NHTSA (202) 366-5307.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 15, 1991, NHTSA made several 
technical amendments to conform the language of part 567, 
Certification, to new regulations, issued in September 1989, regarding 
the importation of motor vehicles not originally manufactured in 
compliance with the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (56 FR 
22355). The reader is referred to that notice for further information 
on this subject.
    Inadvertently, the agency neglected to include paragraph 567.4(k) 
in the amendments to part 567. Paragraph (k) applies to those 
``passenger cars admitted to the United States under 19 CFR 
12.80(b)(1)'' which lack an original manufacturer's certification of 
compliance with the Federal motor vehicle safety standards. The correct 
citation is to Paragraph 591.5(f). This notice effects that correction. 
The notice also revises the authority citations to reflect the 
recodification in Title 49 of the agency's authorities previously in 
Title 15.
    Because the amendment is technical in nature and has no substantive 
impact, it is hereby found that notice and comment thereon are 
unnecessary, and that good cause is shown that an effective date 
earlier than 180 days after issuance of the rule is in the public 
interest. Therefore, the amendment is effective upon publication in the 
Federal Register. As the amendment makes no substantive change, it does 
not affect any of the impacts previously considered in the promulgation 
of part 567.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 567

32502 and 32504; 49 U.S.C. 33101-33104, and 33109; delegation of 
authority at 49 CFR 1.50.


Sec. 567.4  [Amended]

    2. The introductory text to paragraph 567.4(k) is amended by 
removing the phrase ``19 CFR 12.80(b)(1)'' and adding, in its place, 
the phrase ``49 CFR 591.5(f)''.

    Issued on: December 7, 1994.
