49 CFR Part 575

[Docket No. NHTSA-05-xx]
RIN 2127-AF81


Truck-Camper Loading; Correction

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

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: On July 12, 1996, the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule that rescinded Federal 
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126, Truck-camper loading, and 
combined its provisions with 49 CFR 575.103, Truck-camper loading. When 
combining these two regulations, NHTSA inadvertently changed a cross 
reference so that it refers to only one of five information 
requirements, instead of all five as it had previously. This document 
corrects that error.

DATES: Effective August 11, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary Versailles, Office of 
International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, (Telephone: 
202-366-0846) (Fax: 202-493-2290).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 12, 1996, the National Highway 
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule that 
rescinded Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126, Truck-camper 
loading, and combined its provisions with 49 CFR 575.103, Truck-camper 
loading (61 FR 36655).
    Prior to the July 12, 1996, final rule, 49 CFR 575.103(e) required 
manufacturers of trucks capable of accommodating a slide-in camper to 
provide five items of information contained in paragraphs (e)(1) 
through (5) of that standard. If a manufacturer recommended that the 
truck not be used for a slide-in camper, the manufacturer was required 
by 49 CFR 575.103(f) to provide a statement to that effect instead of 
the information in 49 CFR 575.103(e).
    The July 12, 1996, final rule renumbered the then existing 49 CFR 
575.103(e) as 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(i) and the then existing 49 CFR 
575.103(f) as 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(ii). However, the cross reference in 
49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(ii) was incorrectly listed as 49 CFR 
575.103(e)(2)(i)(E) (the then existing 49 CFR 575.103(e)(5)) instead of 
all of 49 CFR 575.103(e)(2)(i).
    This notice corrects that error.
    This correction will not impose or relax any substantive 
requirements or burdens on manufacturers. Therefore, NHTSA finds for 
good cause that any notice and opportunity for comment on this 
correcting amendment is not necessary.
