Riepilogo

This document amends regulations that pertain to the importation by registered importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that were not manufactured to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft prevention standards. The principal effect of these changes is to clarify the requirements applicable to RIs and applicants for RI status, as well as the procedures for suspending or revoking the registrations of RIs that violate the statute or regulations governing these activities. Although we had proposed a number of changes to the procedures applicable to importation of vehicles originally manufactured for sale in Canada, based upon the comments from the public, we are not acting on those proposals at this time. We intend to issue a separate notice to propose a different approach for processing importations of those vehicles.
