Vehicles Built in Two or More Stages

NHTSA announces the establishment of a Negotiated Rulemaking Committee to develop recommended amendments to the existing NHTSA regulations (49 CFR parts 567 and 568) governing the certification of vehicles built in two or more stages to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards (49 CFR part 571). The purpose of the amendments would be to assign certification responsibilities more equitably among the various participants in the multi-stage vehicle manufacturing process. The Committee will develop its recommendations through a negotiation process. The Committee will consist of persons who represent the interests that would be affected by the proposed rule, such as first- stage, intermediate and final-stage manufacturers of motor vehicles, equipment manufacturers, vehicle converters, testing facilities, trade associations that represent various manufacturing groups, and consumers. This notice also announces the time and place of the first advisory committee meeting. The public is invited to attend; an opportunity for members of the public to make oral presentations will be provided if time permits.
