Importation of Vehicles and Equipment Subject to Federal Safety, Bumper, and Theft Prevention Standards; Registered Importers of Vehicles Not Originally Manufactured To Conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Zusammenfassung

This final rule responds to comments received on a request for comments on an interim final rule which amended Part 591 to adopt a continuous entry bond as an alternative to the single entry bond that is required to accompany each nonconforming vehicle imported into the United States for which a registered importer certifies compliance. NHTSA is retaining the option of allowing the continuous entry bond, though adopting modifications to it which commenters believed were necessary to distinguish it from single entry bonds, and restricting it to registered importers who import more than one motor vehicle at a time. Importers who are not registered importers will continue to use the single entry bond.
