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 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.

petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is 
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in

being altered to comply with all other standards to which they were not 
originally manufactured to conform.
    Specifically, the petitioner claims that MY 2006 Penman Lightweight 
GS cargo trailers, as originally manufactured, conform to Standard No. 
106, Brake Hoses.
    The petitioner also contends that the subject non-U.S. certified 
trailers are capable of being readily altered to meet the following 
standards, in the manner indicated:

Equipment: Replacement of noncompliant tail, stop, and rear turn signal 
lamps, as well as front and rear side reflectors, with lamps and 
reflectors that meet the standard.
    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.
    Standard No. 116, Brake Fluids: Replacement of brake fluid with 
compliant brake fluid.
    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.

date indicated above will be considered, and will be available for
