Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment; Performance-Oriented Roadway Illumination Headlighting Compliance Alternative

الملخص

This notice terminates rulemaking action on the effort known as the Vehicle-Based Roadway Illumination Performance Requirement. It was begun as an attempt to move toward a more performance-oriented, less design-restrictive regulatory solution for assuring safe roadway environment illumination. The agency has not been able to adequately explore the myriad solutions to this problem to the extent necessary to satisfy the public's demand for achieving an objective decision on performance. As a consequence, the agency has decided to temporarily cease rulemaking in this area.
