    Mercedes-Benz 300CE passenger cars not originally manufactured to 
    comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards are

    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 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE), and they are capable of being 
    readily modified to conform to the standards.

    Background
    
        Under section 108(c)(3)(A)(i) of the National Traffic and Motor 
    Vehicle Safety Act (the Act), 15 U.S.C. 1397(c)(3)(A)(i), a motor 
    vehicle that was not originally manufactured to conform to all 
    applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards must be refused 
    admission into the United States on and after January 31, 1990, unless 
    NHTSA has determined that the motor vehicle is substantially similar to 
    a motor vehicle originally manufactured for importation into and sale 
    in the United States, certified under 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 modified to conform to all applicable 
    Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
        Petitions for eligibility determinations 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 determines, 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 determination 
    in the Federal Register.
        G&K Automotive Conversion, Inc. of Santa Ana, California 
    (Registered Importer R-90-007) petitioned NHTSA to determine whether 
    1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE passenger cars are eligible for importation 
    into the United States. NHTSA published notice of the petition on 
    January 27, 1994 (59 FR 3921) 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 determined to grant the petition.
    
    Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject Vehicles
    
        The importer of a vehicle admissible under any final determination 
    must indicate on the form HS-7 accompanying entry the appropriate 
    vehicle eligibility number indicating that the vehicle is eligible for 
    entry. VSP 64 is the vehicle eligibility number assigned to vehicles 
    admissible under this determination.
    
    Final Determination
    
        Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby determines 
    that a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE (Model ID 124.051) not originally 
    manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 
    standards is substantially similar to a 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300CE 
    originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United 
    States and certified under section 114 of the National Traffic and 
    Motor Vehicle Safety Act, and is capable of being readily modified to 
    conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
