FMVSS 109, 119 and 139: Technical corrections and clarifications for tires and rims
Published in the September 2019 issue of North American Government News
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a notice of proposed rulemaking making amendments to Federal Motor Vehicle Standard (FMVSS) No. 109 in response to a petition from the Tire and Rim Association to clarify the applicability of the FMVSS to certain types of tires intended for use on trailers. Based on a review of prior amendments to FMVSS Nos. 109 and 119, NHTSA concludes that it inadvertently made these tires subject to both FMVSS Nos. 109 and 119, when it was the agency's intent to make them subject only to FMVSS No. 119. This document also proposes nonsubstantive technical corrections to tire and rim regulations. Agency Contact Shashi Kuppa 202-366-3827. Submit comments on or before September 20, 2019.
PUBLISHED: 9/23/2019; ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking; REFERENCE: 84 FR 44254; REG: 49 CFR Parts 571.109, 571.119 and 571.139
