NHTSA Amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201 for Head Impact Protection

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule on April 8, 1997, to amend the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201, which includes provisions for head impact protection in vehicles. The rule allows manufacturers to carry forward credits for vehicles that meet the free-motion headform impact requirements before the phase-in period begins, while excluding buses with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8,500 pounds.
