SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B), a motor vehicle that was not 
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS, and has no 
substantially similar U.S.-certified counterpart, shall be refused 
admission into the United States unless NHTSA

[[Page 5827]]

has decided that the motor vehicle has safety features that comply 
with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable 
FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other evidence as NHTSA 
decides to be adequate.
    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.
    Autostadt West of West Sacramento, California (Registered Importer 
R-06-346) has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether nonconforming MY 2017 
UKANG FT-200 trailers are eligible for importation into the United 
States, and included, as part of that petition, information intended to 
demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 2017 UKANG FT-200 trailers are 
capable of being altered to comply with all applicable FMVSS.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims that the subject non-U.S. 
certified trailers are capable of being readily altered to meet the 
following standards, in the manner indicated:
    Standard No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated 
Equipment: Replacement of noncompliant tail, stop, and rear turn signal 
lamps with lamps that meet the standard, and installation of compliant 
amber and red side marker lamps.
    Standard No. 110, Tire Selection and Rims: Inspection of tires and 
rims for certification markings, replacement of any noncompliant tires 
and rims with parts that meet the standard and installation of the 
required tire information placard.
    The petitioner also notes that the vehicle must be fitted with a 
certification label in order to meet the requirements of 49 CFR 567, 
Certification.
    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.
