Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Automatic Emergency
Braking Systems for Light Vehicles
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective date.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document delays the effective date of the November 26,
2024 final rule partially granting petitions for reconsideration of a
May 9, 2024 final rule that adopted Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 127, ``Automatic Emergency Braking for Light
Vehicles,'' which requires automatic emergency braking (AEB),
pedestrian automatic emergency braking (PAEB), and forward collision
warning (FCW) systems on all new light vehicles.
DATES: The effective date of the rule amending 49 CFR 571.127 published
on November 26, 2024 is delayed until March 20, 2025.
ADDRESSES: Correspondence related to this rule should refer to the
docket number set forth above (NHTSA-2023-0021) and be submitted to the
Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
For technical issues: Mr. Markus Price, Office of Crash Avoidance
Standards, Telephone: (202) 366-1810, Facsimile: (202) 366-7002.
For legal issues: Mr. Eli Wachtel, Office of the Chief Counsel,
Telephone: (202) 366-2992, Facsimile: (202) 366-3820. The mailing
address for these officials is: National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the memorandum of January
20, 2025, from the President to executive departments and agencies,
entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,'' \1\ this action
temporarily delays the effective date of the rule entitled ``Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Automatic Emergency Braking Systems for
Light Vehicles,'' published in the Federal Register on November 26,
2024, at 89 FR 93199.\2\ That rule made clarifying changes to the
regulatory text of FMVSS No. 127 in response to petitions for
reconsideration of the rule published May 9, 2024 titled ``Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Automatic Emergency Braking Systems for
Light Vehicles'' filed by the Alliance for Automotive Innovation (the
Alliance), Toyota Motor North America, Volkswagen Group of America, and
Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus, LLC, as well as a petition, treated by
NHTSA as a petition for rulemaking, from Autotalks. It also denied
several changes requested by petitioners.

\2\ On Dec. 11, 2024, a correction notice was published which
corrected a typographical error in the amendatory instruction. This
notice did not change the effective date of the rule. 89 FR 99732.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
This action is exempt from notice and comment under 5 U.S.C. 553
and is effective immediately upon publication today in the Federal
Register, based on the good cause exceptions in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) and
553(d)(3), respectively. Seeking public comment is impracticable,
unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. The temporary delay
in effective date is necessary to give Department officials the
opportunity for further review and consideration of new regulations,
consistent with the President's memorandum of January 20, 2025. Given
the imminence of the effective date, seeking prior public comment on
this temporary delay would have been impractical, as well as contrary
to the public interest in the orderly promulgation and implementation
of regulations. The imminence of the effective date is also good cause
for making this action effective immediately upon publication.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority delegated in 49 CFR
1.95 and 501.5.
Peter Simshauser,
Chief Counsel.
