Notices and Final Rules
Notices and Final Rules Issued by NHTSA
ABOUT THIS PAGE
As of April 7, 1997, NHTSA expanded its posting of rulemaking documents on its web page. We are now posting all notices of proposed rulemaking and final rules that are considered to be "significant" by the office of Management and Budget. To the extent possible, we will also post other notices and rules, but resources do not yet permit us to post all of them.
The documents will be posted at the same time they go on public display at the Federal Register. For example, on April 7 we posted the final rule responding to petitions for reconsideration on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 201, Occupant Protection in Interior Impact. The Federal Register made this rule public on April 7, 1997, and published it on April 8, 1997.
This notice summarizes a recent study by the National Academy of Sciences titled "Shopping for Safety - Providing Consumer Automotive Safety Information." The study makes a number of recommendations to NHTSA on ways to improve automobile safety information for consumers. This notice requests comments on NHTSA's response to the recommendations of this study and on programs NHTSA has begun or is considering to address these recommendations. NHTSA is requesting comments because it wishes to develop these programs in cooperation with other interested parties.
Comments must be received by (insert date 90 days following publication in the Federal Register).
