    Abstract: NHTSA issued a final rule establishing FMVSS No. 225, 
``Child restraint anchorage systems,'' in March 1999 (64 FR 10786). A 
final rule, response to petitions for reconsideration was prepared to

responses to petitions, published in August 1999 (64 FR 47566) and July

final rule included a one-year phase-in schedule for meeting certain 
manufacturing requirements. This phase-in included information 
collection requirements on the part of manufacturers.

multipurpose passenger vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating 
(GVWR) of 3,855 kilograms (8,500 pounds) or less, and of buses with a 
GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less.
