SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United
States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
Wallace Environmental Testing Laboratories (``WETL''), Inc. of
Houston, Texas (Registered Importer R-90-005) has petitioned NHTSA to
decide whether nonconforming MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's
manufactured before September 1, 2006 are eligible for importation into
the United States. The vehicles which WETL believes are substantially
similar are MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before
September 1, 2006 for sale in the United States and certified by their
manufacturer as conforming to all applicable FMVSS.
The petitioner claims that it compared non-U.S. certified MY 2006
Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before September 1, 2006 to
their U.S.-certified counterparts, and found the vehicles to be
substantially similar with respect to compliance with most FMVSS.
WETL submitted information with its petition intended to
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's
manufactured before September 1, 2006, as originally manufactured,
conform to many FMVSS in the same manner as their U.S.-certified
counterparts, or are capable of being readily altered to conform to
those standards. Specifically, the petitioner claims that the non-U.S.
certified MY 2006 Ferrari 612 Scagletti PC's manufactured before
September 1, 2006 are identical to their U.S.-certified counterparts
with respect to compliance with Standard Nos. 102 Transmission Shift
Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect, 103
Windshield Defrosting and Defogging Systems, 104 Windshield Wiping and
Washing Systems, 106 Brake Hoses, 109 New Pneumatic Tires, 113 Hood
Latch System, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids, 118 Power-Operated
Window, Partition, and Roof panel System, 124 Accelerator Control
Systems, 135 Light Vehicle Brake Systems, 201 Occupant Protection in
Interior Impact, 202 Head Restraints, 204 Steering Control Rearward
Displacement, 205 Glazing Materials, 206 Door Locks and Door Retention
Components, 207 Seating Systems, 209 Seat Belt Assemblies, 210 Seat
Belt Assembly Anchorages, 212 Windshield Mounting, 214 Side Impact
Protection, 216 Roof Crush Resistance, 219 Windshield Zone Intrusion,
and 302 Flammability of Interior Materials.
The petitioner also contends that the subject non-U.S. certified
vehicles are capable of being readily altered to meet the following
standards, in the manner indicated:
Standard No. 101 Controls and Displays: Replacement of the
instrument cluster and associated software, or modification of the
instrument cluster by replacing the speedometer faceplate and brake
telltale and reprogramming of the instrument cluster. If, the
instrument cluster is modified, the method of altering any software as
part of the modification will be included as part of the statement of
conformity and associated documents (referred to as a ``conformity
package'') the RI must submit to NHTSA under 49 CFR 592.6(d) to obtain
release of the DOT Conformance bond furnished at the time the vehicle
is imported.
Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated
Equipment: Replacement of the front and rear side marker lamps with
U.S.-model components.
Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and Rims: Installation of the
required tire information placard.
Standard No. 111 Rearview Mirrors: Installation of the conforming
U.S.-model passenger side mirror, or inscription of the required
warning statement on the face of the passenger mirror.

[[Page 47557]]

Standard No. 114 Theft Protection: Reprogramming of the instrument
cluster. A description of the reprogramming will accompany the vehicle
conformity package.
Standard No. 225 Child Restraint Anchorage Systems: Installation of
U.S.-model child restraint anchorage system components including
lateral rear window plates and brackets for belt coupler with covers.
Standard No. 301 Fuel System Integrity: The inspected vehicle was
found to be equipped with conforming components, however each vehicle
must be inspected for the presence of U.S.-model multifunction valve
and tank ventilation valve. Vehicles without these U.S.-model valves
must have them installed.
Standard No. 401 Interior Trunk Release: Installation of trunk
release system components to ensure that the system, as modified, is
identical to the U.S.-model system.
The petitioner additionally states that a vehicle identification
plate must be affixed to the vehicle near the left windshield pillar to
meet the requirements of 49 CFR part 565.
All comments received before the close of business on the closing
date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
examination in the docket at the above addresses both before and after
that date. To the extent possible, comments filed after the closing
date will also be considered. Notice of final action on the petition
will be published in the Federal Register pursuant to the authority
indicated below.
