Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment

Resumen

This document announces that NHTSA will participate in an international effort under the aegis of the United Nations' Meeting of Experts on Lighting to develop a process for evaluating new ideas for signal lamps on vehicles. When that effort is complete, NHTSA will evaluate the results and see if it is appropriate to implement some or all of that process in the agency's evaluations of signal lighting ideas. Until the internationally-recommended process is available for NHTSA's consideration, the agency is adopting the policy (described in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION) for evaluating requests to require or permit new or different signal lighting or signal lighting actuation.
