| E9-20258 | Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108; Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment | Proposed Rule | This document responds to a petition for rulemaking regarding the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for lighting. The Groupe de Travail "Bruxelles 1952" (GTB) and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Lighting Committee requested that new specifications be added for optional lower beam and upper beam headlamp patterns on the basis they would increase harmonization with European requirements. After completing a technical review of the petition, NHTSA is denying this petition. The agency notes the petitioners did not provide data to demonstrate that the requested new optional specifications would provide safety benefits comparable to those of the existing standard or that cost savings would be realized without compromising safety. Additionally, NHTSA is pursuing a more comprehensive review of the lighting standard and is currently studying the feasibility of many issues and potential regulatory changes, some of which would address issues raised in this petition. | 2009-08-24 | 2009 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/08/24/E9-20258/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standard-no-108-lamps-reflective-devices-and-associated-equipment | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-08-24/pdf/E9-20258.pdf | Transportation Department; National Highway Traffic Safety Administration | 492,345 | This document responds to a petition for rulemaking regarding the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for lighting.
