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

Resumo

This document withdraws a 1998 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that would have amended the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on lighting to reduce glare from daytime running lamps (DRLs). In late 2001, General Motors (GM) submitted a petition for rulemaking that asked NHTSA to mandate DRLs on new vehicles. We have decided that the issue addressed in the 1998 NPRM, just one of a number of interrelated issues surrounding DRLs, would best be resolved in the context of responding to the GM petition.
