This notice establishes specifications and qualification requirements for a newly developed anthropomorphic test dummy. Th dummy will be used in compliance testing under amendments made to Standard 201 "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact" in a separate final rule being published today. The upper interior impact protection requirements of Standard 201 are being amended to facilitate the introduction of dynamically deployed interior head protection systems. Vehicles equipped with those dynamic systems will be permitted to comply with alternative reduced requirements. As a condition of being permitted to do so, however, the vehicle must also meet a new dynamic crash test that assesses the protection offered by the dynamic systems. The new dummy is used in conducting that test.
Dates: The amendments are effective September 1, 1998.
Petitions for Reconsideration must be received by September 18, 1998.
