This document amends the Federal motor vehicle safety standard
on rear impact guards (underride guards). Under the current
requirement, rear impact guards must be permanently labeled with the
guard manufacturer's name and address, the month and year in which the
guard was manufactured, and the letters ``DOT.' In response to
petitions for rulemaking, the agency issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to allow manufacturers to place the label
on the rear impact guard where it may be less exposed to damage,
provided that the label does not interfere with the required retroreflective sheeting and is readily accessible for visual inspection.
No comments were received. Thus, in this document, the agency is adopting the proposal as set forth in the notice of proposed rulemaking.
DATES: This final rule is effective January 18, 2005.
Petitions for reconsideration must be received by January 3, 2004
