[Docket No. 94-27; Notice 2]


Denial of Petition for Import Eligibility Decision

    This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a petition 
submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) 
under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(B) (formerly section 108(c)(3)(C)(i)(II) of 
the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (the Act)). the 
petition, which was submitted by G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc. of 
Santa Ana, California (B&K), a registered importer of motor vehicles, 
requested NHTSA to decide that a 1985 Ferrari 412 passenger car that 
was not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal 
motor vehicle safety standards is eligible for importation into the 
United States because its safety features comply with, or are capable 
of being altered to comply with, those standards based on destructive 
test information or other evidence the Secretary of Transportation 
decided in adequate.
    NHTA published a notice in the Federal Register on April 25, 1994 
(59 FR 19745) that contained a thorough description of the petition, 
and solicited public comments upon it. No comments were received in 
response to this notice.
    Following publication of the notice, NHTSA requested G&K to submit 
test data or other information to demonstrate that the 1985 Ferrari 412 
is capable of being altered to comply with the crashworthiness 
requirements of Standard Nos. 208 Occupant Crash Protection and 301 
Fuel System Integrity G&K was unable to submit this information to 
NHTSA. Accordingly, NHTSA has concluded that the petition does not 
clearly demonstrate that the non-U.S. certified 1985 Farrari 412 is 
eligible for importation. The petition must therefore be denied under 
49 CFR 593.7(e).
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(1) (formerly section 
108(c)(3)(C)(ii) of the Act), NHTSA will not consider a new import 
eligibility petition covering this vehicle until at [[Page 4471]] least 
three months from the date of this notice.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; 
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

    Issued on: January 17, 1995.
William A. Boehly,
Associate Administrator for Enforcement.
