49 CFR Part 571
[Docket No. NHTSA-2024-0058]
RIN 2127-AM64
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; FMVSS No. 213, ``Child
Restraint Systems,'' FMVSS No. 213a, ``Child Restraint Systems--Side
Impact Protection,'' and FMVSS No. 213b, ``Child Restraint Systems''--
Response to Petitions for Reconsideration; Correction
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; response to petitions for reconsideration;
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On October 9, 2024, NHTSA issued a final rule responding to
petitions for reconsideration of a June 2022 final rule establishing
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 213a and the December
2023 final rule establishing FMVSS No. 213b. That rule contained an
amendatory instruction to amend a section of text that did not exist.
This document provides the correct amendatory instruction. It does not
change the regulatory text set forth in the October 9, 2024 final rule.
DATES: Effective on December 4, 2024.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For technical issues, you may call
Cristina Echemendia, Office of Crashworthiness Standards (telephone:
(202) 366-6345). For legal issues, you may call Matthew Filpi, Office
of Chief Counsel (telephone: (202) 366-2992). Address: National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building, Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document corrects a drafting error in
the amendatory instructions of an October 9, 2024 final rule (89 FR
81836) responding to petitions for reconsideration of a June 30, 2022
final rule (87 FR 39234) establishing FMVSS No. 213a and a December 5,
2023 final rule (88 FR 84514) establishing FMVSS No. 213b. Amendatory
instruction 2.f in that final rule directed that, among other sections,
section ``S5.8.2.1 introductory text'' of FMVSS No. 213 be revised.
However, S5.8.2.1 has no introductory text--only a title. As set forth
in the revised regulatory text, NHTSA intended to amend the
introductory text of S5.8.2.1(a). Because of this drafting error, the
Code of Federal Regulations could not be updated with the revised
regulatory text. This document sets forth the same regulatory text set
forth in the October 9, 2024 final rule with the proper amendatory
instruction so that the revised regulatory text published on October 9,
2024 can be incorporated into the Code of Federal Regulations. Good
cause exists for this change to be effective immediately because the
regulatory text has not been altered from what was published on October
9, 2024.
List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 571
Imports, Incorporation by Reference, Motor vehicle safety, Motor
vehicles, and Tires.
In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA corrects 49 CFR part 571
by making the following correcting amendment.
