Highway Safety Programs; Model Specifications for Screening Devices to Measure Alcohol in Bodily Fluids

Tradução automática local · Idioma original da fonte

Resumo

This notice proposes Model Specifications for the performance and testing of alcohol screening devices. These devices test for the presence of alcohol, and may use breath or other bodily fluids, such as saliva, to do so. NHTSA is proposing these specifications to support State laws that target youthful offenders (i.e., ``zero tolerance'' laws) and the Department of Transportation's regulations on Alcohol Misuse Prevention, and in recognition of industry efforts to develop new technologies (i.e., non-breath devices) that measure alcohol content from bodily fluids. A Conforming Products List (CPL) will be published identifying the devices that meet NHTSA's Model Specifications. The CPL can serve as a guide for those interested in purchasing devices that screen for the presence of alcohol.

Agency Information Collection Activities; Notice and Request for Comment; Consolidated Labeling Requirements for Motor Vehicles (Except the VIN)

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to reinstate with modification an information collection. Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed collections of information, including reinstatement and modification of previously approved collections. This document describes a collection of labeling information on nine Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval. The labeling requirements include brake fluid warning for vehicles with a GVWR greater than 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds), brake fluid warning for vehicles with a GVWR of 3,500 kilograms (7,716 pounds) or less, glazing labeling, air bag warning labels, seat belt labeling, compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle fuel label, CNG fuel container labels, hydrogen fueled vehicle fueling label, and hydrogen fuel container labels.

Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition

This notice sets forth the reasons for the denial of a defect petition submitted by Costas Lakafossis ("Petitioner") to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) requesting that the Agency recall all Tesla vehicle models produced from 2013 to the present due to what the Petitioner considers to be the increased likelihood of pedal misapplication. According to Petitioner, the differences in the operator controls between the subject Tesla vehicles and internal combustion engine (ICE) powered vehicles promote driver pedal misapplication, leading to sudden unintended acceleration (SUA) incidents. Having reviewed the information submitted by Petitioner and Tesla, as well as data within its own files, NHTSA has denied the petition because the conditions described therein do not indicate the presence of a safety defect in the subject vehicles.
