[Docket No. NHTSA-98-4449]
RIN 2127-AH28


List of Nonconforming Vehicles Decided to be Eligible for 
Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document revises the list of vehicles not originally 
manufactured to conform to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards 
that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for importation. This list is 
contained in an appendix to the agency's regulations that prescribe 
procedures for import eligibility decisions. The revised list includes 
all vehicles that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for importation 
since October 1, 1997. NHTSA is required by statute to publish this 
list annually in the Federal Register.

DATES: The revised list of import eligible vehicles (appendix A to Part 
593) is effective September 28, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Entwistle, Office of Vehicle 
Safety Compliance, NHTSA (202-366-5306).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor 
vehicle that was not originally manufactured to conform to all 
applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards shall be refused 
admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that the 
motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle originally 
manufactured for importation into and sale in the United States, 
certified under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30115, and of the same model year as the 
model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being 
readily altered to conform to all applicable Federal motor vehicle 
safety standards. Where there is no substantially similar U.S.-
certified motor vehicle, 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30141(a)(1)(B) permits a 
nonconforming motor vehicle to be admitted into the United States if 
its safety features comply with, or are capable of being altered to 
comply with, all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards 
based on destructive test data or such other evidence as the Secretary 
of Transportation decides to be adequate.
    Under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30141(a)(1), import eligibility decisions may 
be made ``on the initiative of the Secretary of Transportation or on 
petition of a manufacturer or importer registered under [49 U.S.C. 
Sec. 30141(c)].'' The Secretary's authority to make these decisions has 
been delegated to NHTSA. The agency publishes notice of eligibility 
decisions as they are made.
    Under 49 U.S.C. Sec. 30141(b)(2), a list of all vehicles for which 
import eligibility decisions have been made must be published annually 
in the Federal Register. On October 1, 1996, NHTSA added the list as an 
appendix to 49 CFR Part 593, the regulations that establish procedures 
for import eligibility decisions (61 FR 51242). As described in the 
notice, NHTSA took that action to ensure that the list is more widely 
disseminated to government personnel who oversee vehicle imports and to 
interested members of the public. See 61 FR 51242-43. In the notice, 
NHTSA expressed its intention to annually revise the list as published 
in the appendix to include any additional vehicles decided by the 
agency to be eligible for importation since the list was last 
published. See 61 FR 51243. The agency stated that issuance of the 
document announcing these revisions will fulfill the annual publication 
requirements of 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(2). Ibid.

Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

1. Executive Order 12866 (Federal Regulatory Planning and Review) and 
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This rulemaking action was not reviewed under E.O. 12866. NHTSA has 
analyzed this rulemaking action and determined that it is not 
``significant'' within the meaning of the Department of 
Transportation's regulatory policies and procedures.

2. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    In accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act, NHTSA has 
evaluated the effects of this action on small entities. Based upon this 
evaluation, I certify that the revisions resulting from this rulemaking 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. Accordingly, the agency has not prepared a regulatory 
flexibility analysis.
    Because this rulemaking does not impose any regulatory 
requirements, but merely furnishes information by revising the list in 
the Code of Federal Regulations of vehicles for which import 
eligibility decisions have been made, it has no economic impact.

3. Executive Order 12612 (Federalism)

    This action has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and 
criteria contained in Executive Order 12612, and it has been determined 
that this rule does not have sufficient Federalism implications to 
warrant preparation of a Federalism Assessment. No State laws will be 
affected.

4. National Environmental Policy Act

    The agency has considered the environmental implications of this 
rule in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
and determined that it will not significantly affect the human 
environment.

[[Page 51535]]

5. Paperwork Reduction Act

    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, P.L. 96-
511, the agency notes that there are no information collection 
requirements associated with this rulemaking action.

6. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule does not have any retroactive effect. It does not repeal 
or modify any existing Federal regulations. A petition for 
reconsideration or other administrative proceeding will not be a 
prerequisite to an action seeking judicial review of this rule. This 
rule does not preempt the states from adopting laws or regulations on 
the same subject, except that it will preempt a state regulation that 
is in actual conflict with the Federal regulation or makes compliance 
with the Federal regulation impossible or interferes with the 
implementation of the Federal statute.

7. Notice and Comment

    NHTSA finds that prior notice and opportunity for comment are 
unnecessary under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) because this action does not 
impose any regulatory requirements, but merely revises the list of 
vehicles not originally manufactured to conform to the Federal motor 
vehicle safety standards that NHTSA has decided to be eligible for 
importation into the United States to include all vehicles for which 
such decisions have been made since October 1, 1997.
    In addition, so that the list of vehicles for which import 
eligibility decisions have been made may be included in the next 
edition of 49 CFR Parts 400 to 999, which is due for revision on 
October 1, 1998, good cause exists to dispense with the requirement in 
5 U.S.C. Sec. 553(d) for the effective date of the rule to be delayed 
for at least 30 days following its publication.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 593

    Imports, Motor vehicle safety, Motor vehicles.

    In consideration of the foregoing, Part 593 of Title 49 of the Code 
of Federal Regulations, Determinations that a vehicle not originally 
manufactured to conform to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 
is eligible for importation, is amended as follows:

PART 593--[AMENDED]

    1. The authority citation for Part 593 continues to read as 
follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322 and 30141(b); delegation of authority 
at 49 CFR 1.50.

    2. Appendix A to Part 593 is revised to read as follows:

Appendix A to Part 593--List of Vehicles Determined to be Eligible 
for Importation

    Each vehicle on the following list is preceded by a vehicle 
eligibility number. The importer of a vehicle admissible under any 
eligibility decision must enter that number on the HS-7 Declaration 
Form accompanying entry to indicate that the vehicle is eligible for 
importation.
    ``VSA'' eligibility numbers are assigned to all vehicles that 
are decided to be eligible for importation on the initiative of the 
Administrator under Sec. 593.8.
    ``VSP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are 
decided to be eligible under Sec. 593.7(f), based on a petition from 
a manufacturer or registered importer submitted under 
Sec. 593.5(a)(1), which establishes that a substantially similar 
U.S.-certified vehicle exists.
    ``VCP'' eligibility numbers are assigned to vehicles that are 
decided to be eligible under Sec. 593.7(f), based on a petition from 
a manufacturer or registered importer submitted under 
Sec. 593.5(a)(2), which establishes that the vehicle has safety 
features that comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply 
with, all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards.
    Vehicles for which eligibility decisions have been made are 
listed alphabetically by make, with the exception of Mercedes-Benz 
vehicles, which appear at the end of the list. Eligible models 
within each make are listed numerically by ``VSA,'' ``VSP,'' or 
``VCP'' number.
    All hyphens used in the Model Year column mean ``through'' (for 
example, ``1973-1989'' means ``1973 through 1989'').
    The initials ``MC'' used in the Manufacturer column mean 
``motorcycle.''
    The initials ``SWB'' used in the Model Type column mean ``Short 
Wheel Base.''
    The initials ``LWB'' used in the Model Type column mean ``Long 
Wheel Base.''
