Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This document updates the outdated addresses in NHTSA's 
regulation regarding documents incorporated by reference into various 
Federal motor vehicle safety standards. In addition, this document 
properly identifies those organizations identified in the regulation 
that have been replaced by a successor organization.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective December 17, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For legal issues, you may call Rebecca 
MacPherson, Office of the Chief Counsel, at 202-366-2992.
    You may send mail to this official at National Highway Traffic 
Safety Administration, 400 Seventh St., SW., Washington, DC, 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration has adopted a regulation that provided a centralized 
location for documents incorporated by reference into various Federal 
motor vehicle safety standards. This regulation is located at 49 CFR 
571.5, Matter incorporated by reference. Over the past several years, 
NHTSA has included its incorporations by reference in the safety 
standards as they are adopted or amended. Accordingly, the addresses 
contained in 49 CFR 571.5 have, in many instances, become outdated. 
Additionally, one of the documents incorporated by reference, Data from 
the National Health Survey, Public Health Publication No. 1000, series 
11, no. 8, has been updated, and the information contained in that 
publication is now available from the Center for Disease Control, 
rather than the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR part 571

    Imports, Incorporation by reference, Motor vehicle safety, Motor 
vehicles, Rubber and rubber products, Tires.

    In consideration of the foregoing, 49 CFR part 571 is amended as
