| 2020-18214 | Receipt of Petitions for Temporary Exemption From Shoulder Belt Requirement for Side-Facing Seats on Motorcoaches | Notice | NHTSA has received almost identical petitions from 13 final- stage manufacturers of "entertainer-type motorcoaches," seeking temporary exemption from a shoulder belt requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant crash protection," for side-facing seats on motorcoaches. The petitioners seek to install Type 1 seat belts (lap belt only) at side-facing seating positions, instead of Type 2 seat belts (lap and shoulder belts) required by FMVSS No. 208. Each petitioner states that, absent the requested exemption, it will otherwise be unable to sell a vehicle whose overall level of safety or impact protection is at least equal to that of a nonexempted vehicle. NHTSA is publishing this document to notify the public of the receipt of the petitions and to request comment on them, in accordance with statutory and administrative provisions. | 2020-08-20 | 2020 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/08/20/2020-18214/receipt-of-petitions-for-temporary-exemption-from-shoulder-belt-requirement-for-side-facing-seats-on | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-08-20/pdf/2020-18214.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | NHTSA has received almost identical petitions from 13 final- stage manufacturers of "entertainer-type motorcoaches," seeking temporary exemption from a shoulder belt requirement of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, "Occupant crash... |
