Extension of Comment Period on Whether Nonconforming 1996 and 
1997 Lamborghini Diablo Passenger Cars Are Eligible for Importation

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

ACTION: Extension of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: On March 12, 2003, NHTSA published notice (at 68 FR 11898) 
that it had received a petition to decide that nonconforming 1996 and 
1997 Lamborghini Diablo passenger cars are eligible for importation 
into the United States. The notice solicited public comments on the 
petition and stated that the closing date for comments is April 11, 
2003.
    This is to notify the public that NHTSA is extending the comment 
period until May 30, 2003. This extension is based on a request from 
Automobili Lamborghini S.p.A. (``Lamborghini''). In requesting the 
extension, Lamborghini noted that its available resources for 
responding to the petition are ``seriously constrained.'' In 
particular, Lamborghini stated that it has only two employees who would 
be able to conduct the necessary research to prepare the response and 
those employees will be on travel in the United States for three to 
four weeks beginning March 18, 2003 to prepare the company's emission 
certification on a vehicle to be introduced in the 2004 model year.

DATES: Comments on the import eligibility petition must be submitted on 
or before May 30, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Comments are to be submitted to: Docket Management, Room PL-
