[Docket No. NHTSA 2002-11472, Notice 1]


Krystal Koach, Inc., Receipt of Application for Decision of 
Inconsequential Noncompliance

    Krystal Koach, Inc., (Krystal), a California Corporation, dba 
Krystal Enterprises, has determined that 1,725 Krysal buses produced 
between June 1996 and November 27, 2001, do not meet the labeling 
requirements of paragraph S5.3 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
(FMVSS) No. 120 ``Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other than 
Passenger Cars.'' Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h), Krystal 
has petitioned for a determination that this noncompliance is 
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety and has filed an appropriate 
report pursuant to 49 CFR section 573, ``Defect and Noncompliance 
Reports.''
    This notice of receipt of an application is published under 49 
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or 
other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the application.
    The tire placard labels affixed to the noncompliant vehicles show 
vehicle weight and tire inflation pressure values listed in ``English'' 
(Pounds, psi) units. They do not list the metric (Kilogram, kPa) 
equivalent of these values.
    Krystal states that this noncompliance is inconsequential because:
    (1) The correct information is shown on the label in English units;
    (2) Krystal has not received any complaints or inquiries concerning 
a lack of a Metric equivalent of the subject information on the label;

[[Page 7447]]

    (3) Krystal is not aware of any safety related incidents related to 
this noncompliance;
    (4) All Krystal buses were sold in countries that predominantly use 
the English system of units. In fact, Krystal buses were only sold in 
the U.S. and Canada.
    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and 
arguments on the application described above. Comments should refer to 
the docket number and be submitted to: U.S. Department to 
Transportation, Docket Management, Room PL-401, 400 Seventh Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20590. It is requested that two copies be 
submitted.
    All comments received before the close of business on the closing 
date indicated below will be considered. The application and supporting 
materials, and all comments received after the closing date, will also 
be filed and will be considered to the extent possible. After the 
Agency has determined that the application will granted or denied, the 
notice will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the 
authority indicated below. Comment closing date: March 21, 2002.
