                   STANDARDS.

     limousines.--Not later than 2 years after the date of 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall prescribe a final 
     rule that--
       (A) amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Numbers 
     208, 209, and 210 to require to be installed in limousines on 
     each designated seating position, including on side-facing 
     seats--
       (i) an occupant restraint system consisting of integrated 
     lap-shoulder belts; or
       (ii) an occupant restraint system consisting of a lap belt, 
     if an occupant restraint system described in clause (i) does 
     not meet the need for motor vehicle safety; and
       (B) amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 207 
     to require limousines to meet standards for seats (including 
     side-facing seats), seat attachment assemblies, and seat 
     installation to minimize the possibility of failure by forces 
     acting on the seats, attachment assemblies, and installations 
     as a result of motor vehicle impact.

     later than 2 years after the date of enactment of this Act, 
     the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on Commerce,

     on Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives a 
     report that assesses the feasibility, benefits, and costs 
     with respect to the application of any requirement 
     established under paragraph (1) to a limousine introduced 
     into interstate commerce before the date on which the 
     requirement takes effect.
       (b) Modifications of Certain Vehicles.--The final rule 
     prescribed under subsection

     notwithstanding section 30112(b)(1) of title 49, United 
     States Code.
