Vehicles Built in Two or More Stages

NHTSA proposes to establish a Negotiated Rulemaking Committee to develop recommended amendments to the existing NHTSA regulations governing the certification of vehicles built in two or more stages (49 CFR Part 567, 568), so that certification responsibilities can be more equitably assigned among the various participants in the multi-stage vehicle manufacturing process. The Committee would develop its recommendations through a negotiation process. The Committee would consist of persons who represent the interests affected by the proposed rule, such as first-stage, intermediate and final-stage manufacturers of motor vehicles, equipment manufacturers, vehicle converters, trade associations that represent various manufacturing groups, as well as consumers. The purpose of this document is to invite interested parties to submit comments on the issues to be discussed and the interests and organizations to be considered for representation on the Committee.
