요약
This notice announces the publication by NHTSA of a Technical Report concerning the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The report examines the Correlation of NCAP Performance with Fatality Risk in Actual Head-On Collisions. In NCAP, frontal crash tests of approximately 35 passenger vehicles are conducted each year and the test results are made available to the public, in response to the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act of 1972. The Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 1992 directed ``NHTSA to provide a study to the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations comparing the results of New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) data from previous model years to determine the validity of these tests in predicting actual on-the-road injuries and fatalities over the lifetime of the models.'' In December 1993, NHTSA submitted a report to Congress, titled Response to the NCAP FY 1992 Congressional Requirements, summarizing the agency's analyses of head-on collisions and other types of crashes. This Technical Report documents the agency's analysis of head-on collisions. The agency seeks public review and comment on the technical report.
