49 CFR Part 575
[Docket No. NHTSA-05-xx]
RIN 2127-AF81
Truck-Camper Loading; Correction
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Correcting amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On July 12, 1996, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule that rescinded Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126, Truck-camper loading, and
combined its provisions with 49 CFR 575.103, Truck-camper loading. When
combining these two regulations, NHTSA inadvertently changed a cross
reference so that it refers to only one of five information
requirements, instead of all five as it had previously. This document
corrects that error.
DATES: Effective August 11, 2005.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Versailles, Office of
International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, (Telephone:
202-366-0846) (Fax: 202-493-2290).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 1996, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule that
rescinded Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126, Truck-camper
loading, and combined its provisions with 49 CFR 575.103, Truck-camper
loading (61 FR 36655).
Prior to the July 12, 1996, final rule, 49 CFR 575.103(e) required
manufacturers of trucks capable of accommodating a slide-in camper to
provide five items of information contained in paragraphs (e)(1)
through (5) of that standard. If a manufacturer recommended that the
truck not be used for a slide-in camper, the manufacturer was required
by 49 CFR 575.103(f) to provide a statement to that effect instead of
the information in 49 CFR 575.103(e).
The July 12, 1996, final rule renumbered the then existing 49 CFR
575.103(e) as 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(i) and the then existing 49 CFR
575.103(f) as 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(ii). However, the cross reference in
49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(ii) was incorrectly listed as 49 CFR
575.103(e)(2)(i)(E) (the then existing 49 CFR 575.103(e)(5)) instead of
all of 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(i).
This notice corrects that error.
This correction will not impose or relax any substantive
requirements or burdens on manufacturers. Therefore, NHTSA finds for
good cause that any notice and opportunity for comment on this
correcting amendment is not necessary.
