    Sovereign passenger cars are eligible for importation.

    SUMMARY: This notice announces the determination by NHTSA that 1993 
    Jaguar Sovereign 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 
    1993 Jaguar Sovereign), and they are capable of being readily modified 
    to conform to the standards.
    
    DATES: The determination is effective July 25, 1994.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ted Bayler, Office of Vehicle Safety 
    Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5306).
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
    Background
    
        Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) (formerly section 108(c)(3)(A)(i)(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 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 49 U.S.C. Sec. 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 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.
        J.K. Motors, Inc. of Kingsville, Maryland (``J.K.'') (Registered 
    Importer R-90-006) petitioned NHTSA to determine whether 1993 Jaguar 
    Sovereign passenger cars are eligible for importation into the United 
    States. NHTSA published notice of the petition on May 25, 1994 (59 FR 
    27104) 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 78 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 1993 Jaguar Sovereign not originally manufactured to comply with 
    all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards is substantially 
    similar to a 1993 Jaguar Sovereign originally manufactured for 
    importation into and sale in the United States and certified under 49 
    U.S.C. Sec. 30115, and is capable of being readily modified 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 20, 1994.

    Associate Administrator for Enforcement.
