Ferrari S.p.A and Ferrari North America, Inc.; Grant of Application for Extension of a Temporary Exemption From the Advanced Air Bag Requirements of FMVSS No. 208

Zusammenfassung

This notice grants the Ferrari S.p.A and Ferrari North America, Inc. application for extension of a temporary exemption from some requirements of FMVSS No. 208, Occupant Crash Protection. The exemption applies to the F430 vehicle line. In accordance with 49 CFR part 555, the basis for the grant is that compliance would cause substantial economic hardship to a low-volume manufacturer that has tried in good faith to comply with the standard, and the exemption would have a negligible impact on motor vehicle safety. The exemption is effective through August 31, 2009. In accordance with the requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30113(b)(2), we published a notice of receipt of the application and asked for public comments.\1\ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
