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

Samenvatting

This document terminates rulemaking under which NHTSA had asked for comments on whether the performance and installation of front and rear fog lamps should be regulated by Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. Although commenters supported a rule in principle, they pointed out the lack of an acceptable and harmonized reference upon which Federal requirements could be based. In response to these comments, the SAE has established a Fog Lamp Task Force to develop an internationally-acceptable fog lamp standard, on which a Federal standard could be based. NHTSA is terminating rulemaking so that the agency can actively participate in a cooperative effort to develop a fog lamp standard.
