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. G&K Automotive Conversion Inc. (G&K) of Santa Ana, California (Registered Importer R-90-007) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether nonconforming 2009 Jeep Compass MPVs are eligible for importation into the United States. The vehicles which G&K believes are substantially similar are MY 2009 Jeep Compass MPVs sold 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 2009 Jeep Compass MPVs to their U.S.-certified counterparts, and found the vehicles to be substantially similar with respect to compliance with most FMVSS. G&K submitted information with its petition intended to demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 2009 Jeep Compass MPVs, as originally manufactured, conform to many applicable 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 2009 Jeep Compass MPVs, as originally manufactured, conform to 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, 113 Hood Latch System, 114 Theft Protection, 116 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids, 118 Power-Operated Window, Partition, and Roof panel System, 124 Accelerator Control Systems, 135 Light Vehicle Brake Systems, 139 New Pneumatic Radial Tires for Light Vehicles, 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, 225 Child Restraint Anchorage Systems 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 original instrument cluster with the U.S. model component and associated software, or modifying the existing speedometer such that speed is displayed in miles per hour (MPH) and the brake telltale displays the word ``BRAKE'' as described in the petition. Standard No. 108 Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment: installation of U.S.-conforming front side marker lamps, headlamps, and front side mounted reflex reflectors. Standard No. 110 Tire Selection and Rims: installation of the required tire information placard. Standard No. 111 Rear Visibility: inscription of the required warning statement on the face of the passenger mirror, or replacement of the passenger side mirror with the U.S.-model component. Standard No. 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems: installation of the original vehicle manufacturer's U.S.-model TPMS system including the module receiver, tire pressure sensors, associated software and additional components as necessary for a vehicle to conform to the standard. [[Page 64980]] Standard No. 208 Occupant Crash Protection: inspection of each vehicle and replacement of any non-conforming seatbelts and advanced air bag suppression system components with U.S.-model components as described in the petition as necessary for the vehicle to conform to the standard. Standard No. 301 Fuel System Integrity: inspection of each vehicle and replacement of any non-U.S. model fuel system components with U.S.- model components as necessary to conform to the requirements of the standard as described in the petition. 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. Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), and (b)(1); 49 CFR 593.7; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8. Jeffrey M. Giuseppe, Director, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance.
