This document grants a request to extend the com- ment period on an agency proposal to amend the rear and side impact test procedures specified in the federal motor vehicle safety standard on fuel system
integrity. The proposed amendment would replace the current test requiring the rear of the test vehicle to be impacted by a flat, rigid barrier at 48 kilometers per hour (30 miles per hour) with a test requiring only a portion of the rear of the test vehicle to be impacted
by a lighter, deformable barrier at 80 km/h (50 mph).
The proposal also would specify that the test procedure used in the standard on side
impact protection be used for the standard on fuel system integrity.
The agency is extending the comment period an additional 30 days.
Comments on the November 13, 2000 proposal, 65 FR 67693, Docket No. NHTSA-00-8248, must be received by the agency on or before the close of business on February 12, 2001.
