Riepilogo

In 2001, this agency published a request for comments seeking information on the causes and potential safety risks associated with headlamp glare. After receiving and reviewing more than 5,000 public comments, the agency has identified five separate issues that may become the subject of rulemaking in the future. However, before the agency considers whether to initiate rulemaking, it plans to conduct evaluations and research in a number of areas. Accordingly, the agency is terminating public proceedings on this subject by withdrawing the request for comments. The agency will continue to study the issue of glare and headlamp performance, including any new information submitted by the public.
