    List of Nonconforming Vehicles Decided To Be Eligible for 
    Importation
    
    AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
    
    ACTION: Final rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: This rule amends NHTSA's regulations establishing procedures 
    for decisions on whether a vehicle not originally manufactured to 
    conform to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards is eligible for 
    importation into the United States, by adding an appendix that lists 
    all vehicles that have been decided to be eligible for importation.
    
    DATES: The amendment established by this final rule will become 
    effective October 1, 1996.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Entwistle, Office of Vehicle 
    Safety Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5306).
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), 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 unless NHTSA has decided that the 
    motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle originally 
    manufactured for importation into and sale in the United States, 
    certified under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30115, and of the same model year as the 
    model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being 
    readily altered to conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle 
    safety standards. Where there is no substantially similar U.S.--
    certified motor vehicle, 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) permits a 
    nonconforming motor vehicle to be admitted into the United States if 
    its safety features comply with, or are capable of being altered to 
    comply with, all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards 
    based on destructive test data or such other evidence as the Secretary 
    of Transportation decides to be adequate.
        Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1), import eligibility decisions may be 
    made ``on the initiative of the Secretary of Transportation or on 
    petition of a manufacturer or importer registered under [49 U.S.C. 
    30141(c)].'' The Secretary's authority to make these decisions has been 
    delegated to the Administrator of NHTSA under 49 CFR 1.50(a). The 
    Administrator initially redelegated to the Associate Administrator for 
    Enforcement (now Safety Assurance) the authority to grant or deny 
    petitions for import eligibility decisions submitted by motor vehicle 
    manufacturers and registered importers, and subsequently transferred 
    this authority to the Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (49 
    CFR 501.8(l)). Thus far, a number of import eligibility decisions have 
    been made on the Administrator's own initiative, and the Associate 
    Administrator and Office Director have granted many petitions for such 
    decisions submitted by registered importers.
        Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2), a list of all vehicles for which 
    import eligibility decisions have been made must be published annually 
    in the Federal Register. NHTSA has previously published these lists on 
    four occasions, at 57 FR 29553 (July 2, 1992), 59 FR 8671 (February 23, 
    1994), 60 FR 8268 (February 13, 1995), and 61 FR 8097 (March 1, 1996). 
    To ensure that the list is more widely disseminated to government 
    personnel who oversee vehicle imports and to interested members of the 
    public, NHTSA is now publishing the list as an appendix to its 
    regulations at 49 CFR Part 593 that establish procedures for decisions 
    on
    
    [[Page 51243]]
    
    whether a vehicle not originally manufactured to conform to the Federal 
    motor vehicle safety standards is eligible for importation into the 
    United States. NHTSA intends to annually revise the list published in 
    the appendix to include any additional vehicles for which import 
    eligibility decisions are made. The Federal Register notices that 
    announce these revisions, together with the publication of the list in 
    the Code of Federal Regulations, will fulfill the annual publication 
    requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2).
    
    Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
    
    1. Executive Order 12866 (Federal Regulatory Planning and Review) and 
    DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
    
        This rulemaking action was not reviewed under E.O. 12866. NHTSA has 
    analyzed this rulemaking action and determined that it is not 
    ``significant'' within the meaning of the Department of 
    Transportation's regulatory policies and procedures.
    
    2. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, NHTSA has 
    evaluated the effects of this action on small entities. Based upon this 
    evaluation, I certify that the amendment resulting from this rulemaking 
    will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
    small entities. Accordingly, the agency has not prepared a regulatory 
    flexibility analysis.
        Because this rulemaking does not impose any regulatory 
    requirements, but merely furnishes information by adding the list of 
    vehicles for which import eligibility decisions have been made to Code 
    of Federal Regulations, it has no economic impact.
    
    3. Executive Order 12612 (Federalism)
    
        This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and 
    criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined 
    that this rule does not have sufficient Federalism implications to 
    warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment. No State laws will be 
    affected.
    
    4. National Environmental Policy Act
    
        The agency has considered the environmental implications of this 
    rule in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
    and determined that it will not significantly affect the human 
    environment.
    
    5. Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, P.L. 96-
    511, the agency notes that there are no information collection 
    requirements associated with this rulemaking action.
    
    6. Civil Justice Reform
    
        This rule does not have any retroactive effect. Under section 
    103(d) of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act (49 U.S.C. 
    30111), whenever a Federal motor vehicle safety standard is in effect, 
    a state may not adopt or maintain a safety standard applicable to the 
    same aspect of performance which is not identical to the Federal 
    standard. Section 105 of the Act (49 U.S.C. 30161) sets forth a 
    procedure for judicial review of final rules establishing, amending or 
    revoking Federal motor vehicle safety standards. That section does not 
    require submission of a petition for reconsideration or other 
    administrative proceedings before parties may file suit in court.
    
    7. Notice and Comment
    
        NHTSA finds that prior notice and opportunity for comment are 
    unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) because this amendment does not 
    impose any regulatory requirements, but merely identifies those 
    vehicles not originally manufactured to conform to the Federal motor 
    vehicle safety standards that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for 
    importation into the United States.
        In addition, so that the list of vehicles for which import 
    eligibility decisions have been made may be included in the next 
    revision to the appropriate volume of the Code of Federal Regulations, 
    which is to be revised as of October 1, 1996, good cause exists to 
    dispense with the requirement in 5 U.S.C. Sec. 53(d) for the effective 
    date of the rule to be delayed for at least 30 days following its 
    publication.
    
    List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 593
    
        Imports, Motor vehicle safety, Motor vehicles.
    
        In consideration of the foregoing, Part 593 of Title 49 of the Code 
    of Federal Regulations, Determinations that a vehicle not originally 
    manufactured to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 
    is eligible for importation, is amended as follows:
    
    PART 593--[AMENDED]
    
        1. The authority citation for Part 593 is revised to read as 
    follows:
    
        Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322 and 30141(b); delegation of authority 
    at 49 CFR 1.50.
    
        2. A new Appendix A is added to Part 593, to read as follows:
    
    Appendix A to Part 593--List of Vehicles Determined To Be Eligible for 
    Importation
    
        Each vehicle on the following list is preceded by a vehicle 
    eligibility number. The importer of a vehicle admissible under any 
    eligibility decision must enter that number on the HS-7 Declaration 
    Form accompanying entry to indicate that the vehicle is eligible for 
    importation.
        ``VSA'' eligibility numbers are assigned to all vehicles that 
    are decided to be eligible for importation on the initiative of the 
    Administrator under Sec. 593.8.
        ``VSP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are 
    decided to be eligible under Sec. 593.7(f), based on a petition from 
    a manufacturer or registered importer submitted under Sec. 
    593.5(a)(1), which establishes that a substantially similar U.S.-
    certified vehicle exists.
        ``VCP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are 
    decided to be eligible under Sec. 593.7(f), based on a petition from 
    a manufacturer or registered importer submitted under Sec. 
    593.5(a)(2), which establishes that the vehicle has safety features 
    that comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, 
    all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
        Vehicles for which eligibility decisions have been made are 
    listed alphabetically by make, with the exception of Mercedes-Benz 
    vehicles, which appear at the end of the list. Eligible models 
    within each make are listed numerically by ``VSA,'' ``VSP,'' or 
    ``VCP'' number.
        All hyphens used in the Model Year column mean ``through'' (for 
    example, ``1972-1989'' means ``1972 through 1989'').
        The initials ``MC'' used in the Manufacturer column mean 
    ``motorcycle.''
        The initials ``SWB'' used in the Model Type column mean ``Short 
    Wheel Base.''
        The initials ``LWB'' used in the Model Type column mean ``Long 
    Wheel Base.''
