Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention

요약

In December 2011, NHTSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that addressed safety issues arising from increasing variations of keyless ignition controls, and the operation of those controls. We received a petition from the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers requesting an extension of the comment period. The petitioner argued that additional time was needed to review information that was placed in the docket late in the comment period. After considering the petition, we are extending the comment period by 10 days, from March 12, 2012, to March 22, 2012.
