    Decision That Nonconforming 1984 and 1985 Rolls Royce Camargue 
    Passenger Cars are Eligible for Importation
    
    AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.
    
    ACTION: Notice of decision by NHTSA that nonconforming 1984 and 1985 
    Rolls Royce Camargue passenger cars are eligible for importation.

    SUMMARY: This notice announces the decision by NHTSA that 1984 and 1985 
    Rolls Royce Camargue 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 vehicles originally manufactured for 
    importation into and sale in the United States and certified by their 
    manufacturer as complying with the safety standards (the U.S.-certified 
    version of the 1984 and 1985 Rolls Royce Camargue), and they are 
    capable of being readily altered to conform to the standards.
    
    DATES: This decision is effective as of the date of its publication in 
    the Federal Register (July 20, 1995).

    5306).
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        Under 49 U.S.C. 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 1984 
    and 1985 Rolls Royce Camargue passenger cars are eligible for 
    importation into the United States. NHTSA published notice of the 
    petition on May 1, 1995 (60 FR 21236) 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-122 is the vehicle eligibility number assigned to vehicles 
    admissible under this decision.
    
    Final Decision
    
        Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA hereby decides 
    that 1984 and 1985 Rolls Royce Camargue passenger cars not originally 
    manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety 
    standards are substantially similar to 1984 and 1985 Rolls Royce 
    Camargue passenger cars originally manufactured for importation into 
    and sale in the United States and certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and 
    are 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.
    
        Issued on: July 17, 1995.
