[Docket No. NHTSA-2004-16948; Notice 2]


Denial of Petition for Import Eligibility for 2003-2004 CF Moto 
CF125T-2 Motorcycles

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Denial of petition for Import Eligibility for 2003-2004 CF Moto 
CF125T-2 Motorcycles.

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

DISCUSSION: This document sets forth the reasons for the denial of a 
petition submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B). The petition, 
which was submitted by U.S. SPECS of Aberdeen, Maryland (Registered 
Importer 03-321), requested NHTSA to decide that 2003-2004 CF Moto 
CF125T-2 motorcycles that were not originally manufactured to comply 
with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) are 
eligible for importation into the United States. In the petition, U.S. 
SPECS contended that these vehicles are eligible for importation under 
49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) because they have safety features that comply 
with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable 
FMVSS.
    NHTSA published a notice in the Federal Register on January 29, 
2004 (69 FR 4355) that contained a thorough description of the 
petition, and solicited public comments upon it. Following publication 
of the notice, NHTSA requested U.S. SPECS to submit test data or other 
information to demonstrate that 2003-2004 CF Moto CF125T-2 motorcycles 
comply with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, the 
requirements of Standard Nos. 122 Motorcycle Brake Systems and 123 
Motorcycle Controls and Displays. U.S. SPECS was unable to submit this 
information to NHTSA. Accordingly, NHTSA has concluded that the 
petition does not clearly demonstrate that 2003-2004 CF Moto CF125T-2 
motorcycles are eligible for importation. The petition must therefore 
be denied under 49 CFR 593.7(e).
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 30141(b)(1), NHTSA will not consider a 
new import eligibility petition covering this vehicle until at least 
three months from the date of this notice.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A) and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; 
delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.
