| 2013-21128 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Occupant Crash Protection | Proposed Rule | This document denies a rulemaking petition submitted by BMW Group, BMW of North America, LLC, to amend the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on occupant crash protection to permit optional certification using a seat belt interlock for front seat occupants as an alternative to the unbelted crash test requirements. The agency is denying the petition because the supporting material provided by the petitioner is not sufficient for the agency to fully evaluate the safety need, benefits, effectiveness, and acceptability of seat belt interlock systems. Furthermore, in 2012, the agency initiated the development of a research program on seat belt interlocks in light of its newly-acquired statutory authority to allow consideration of seat belt interlocks as a compliance option. The agency believes that making a determination to amend its performance standards prior to the completion of its research is premature. | 2013-08-29 | 2013 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/08/29/2013-21128/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-occupant-crash-protection | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-08-29/pdf/2013-21128.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This document denies a rulemaking petition submitted by BMW Group, BMW of North America, LLC, to amend the Federal motor vehicle safety standard on occupant crash protection to permit optional certification using a seat belt interlock for front seat... |
