Denial of Petition for Rulemaking; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

Streszczenie

This document denies the petition by Mr. John Chevedden for the issuance of a mandatory Federal regulation that would require all new cars, light trucks and sport utility vehicles to be equipped with reflectors or reflective tape on the open driver side door or door jamb. An analysis of the petition revealed no information to support the petitioner's contention that there is a safety problem with the current situation and that his proposed solution will address the problem and improve safety in a cost-effective way.
