| 2015-31353 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment | Rule | This final rule amends the rear license plate holder requirements contained in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108; "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." The final rule expands upon the proposal in the NPRM and allows license plates on all motor vehicles to be mounted on a plane up to 30 degrees upward from vertical if the upper edge of the license plate is not more than 1.2 meters (47.25 inches) from the ground. Previously, the maximum allowable upward mounting angle was 15 degrees beyond vertical. This final rule increases harmonization with existing requirements in European regulations. Additionally, this final rule increases a manufacturer's design flexibility while providing opportunity to decrease cost without compromising safety. | 2015-12-17 | 2015 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2015/12/17/2015-31353/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standard-lamps-reflective-devices-and-associated-equipment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-12-17/pdf/2015-31353.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This final rule amends the rear license plate holder requirements contained in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108; "Lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
