Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Brake Hoses; Correction

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) 
published in the Federal Register on May 15, 2003. The NPRM proposed to 
update the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on brake hoses to 
incorporate the substantive specifications of several Society of 
Automotive Engineers (SAE) Recommended Practices relating to hydraulic 
brake hoses, vacuum brake hoses, air brake hoses, and plastic air brake 
tubing. This correction adds a proposed effective date to the preamble.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George Feygin at (202) 366-3992.

Correction

    In the notice of proposed rulemaking FR Doc. 03-11292 (68 FR 26384) 
make the following correction. On page 26406 in the first column, add, 
before the beginning of the first paragraph the following:

``Effective Date

    The agency believes that most, if not all, hoses, tubing, and 
fittings affected by Standard No. 106 are already designed to meet the 
SAE specifications we are proposing to add to the standard. The agency 
is proposing that compliance with the updated version of the standard 
become mandatory two years after publication of the final rule. NHTSA 
believes that this date will provide manufacturers with sufficient 
leadtime to redesign the small proportion of brake hose products that 
may need modification.''

    Issued: June 6, 2003.

Associate Administrator for Rulemaking.
