SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Correction: In the Federal Register of
August 10, 2022, in FR Doc. 2022-17131, appearing at 87 FR 48760, on
page 48760, in the first column, correct the docket number heading to
read: [Docket No. NHTSA-2021-0096; Notice 1]
On page 48761, in the first column, correct the ``III.
Noncompliance'' section to read:
III. Noncompliance: Hercules explains that the noncompliance is due
to a mold error in which the subject tires contain a tire
identification number (TIN) with the second and third numerical symbols
in the date code transposed and therefore, do not meet the requirements
of paragraph S6.5(b) of FMVSS No. 119. Specifically, the TIN on the
subject tires incorrectly states the date code as ``4280,'' when it
should state ``4820.''
