[Docket No. 94-76; Notice 2]
Decision That Nonconforming 1971 Iso Grifo Lusso Passenger Cars
Are Eligible for Importation
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of decision by NHTSA that nonconforming 1971 Iso Grifo
Lusso passenger cars are eligible for importation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice announces the decision by NHTSA that 1971 Iso
Grifo Lusso passenger cars not originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards are eligible for
importation into the United States because they are substantially
similar to a vehicle originally manufactured for importation into and
sale in the United States and certified by its manufacturer as
complying with the safety standards (the U.S.-certified version of the
1971 Iso Grifo Lusso), and they are capable of being readily altered to
conform to the standards.
DATES: This decision is effective December 16, 1994.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Bayler, Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5306).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30141(a)(1)(A) (formerly section
108(c)(3)(A)(i) of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act
(the Act)), 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. 30115 (formerly section 114 of the
Act), 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.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc. of Santa Ana, California
(Registered Importer R-90-007) petitioned NHTSA to decide whether 1971
Iso Grifo Lusso passenger cars are eligible for importation into the
United States. NHTSA published notice of the petition on September 27,
1994 (59 FR 49282) to afford an opportunity for public comment. The
reader is referred to that notice for a thorough description of the
petition. No comments were received in response to the notice. Based on
its review of the information submitted by the petitioner, NHTSA has
decided to grant the petition.
Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject Vehicles
The importer of a vehicle admissible under any final decision must
indicate on the form HS-7 accompanying entry the appropriate vehicle
eligibility number indicating that the vehicle is eligible for entry.
VSP 88 is the vehicle eligibility number assigned to vehicles
admissible under this decision.
Final Determination
Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides
that a 1971 Iso Grifo Lusso not originally manufactured to comply with
all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards is substantially
similar to a 1971 Iso Grifo Lusso originally manufactured for
importation into and sale in the United States and certified under 49
U.S.C. 30115, and is capable of being readily altered to conform to all
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141 (a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.8;
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
