National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2008-0184; Notice 2]

Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Grant of Petition for Decision
of Inconsequential Noncompliance

    Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company (Goodyear), has determined that
certain passenger car tires manufactured from June 2, 2008, through
July 10, 2008, did not fully comply with paragraphs S5.5(e) and S5.5(f)
of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No. 139 New Pneumatic
Radial Tires for Light Vehicles. Goodyear has filed an appropriate
report pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports.
    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) (see implementing rule
at 49 CFR part 556), Goodyear has petitioned for an exemption from the
notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the
basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety. Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on December 18, 2008, in the Federal Register
(73 FR 77105). No comments were received. To view the petition and all
supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System Web
site at: http://www.regulations. gov/. Then follow the online search
instructions to locate docket number ``NHTSA-2008-0184.''
    For further information on this decision, contact Mr. George
Gillespie, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Affected are approximately 112 size P265/60R18 109S Dunlop Rover AT
passenger car tires manufactured from June 2, 2008, through July 10,
2008.
    Paragraphs S5.5(e) and S5.5(f) of FMVSS No. 139 require in
pertinent part:

    S5.5 Tire markings. Except as specified in paragraphs (a)
through (i) of S5.5, each tire must be marked on each sidewall with
the information specified in S5.5(a) through (d) and on one sidewall
with the information specified in S5.5(e) through (i) according to
the phase-in schedule specified in S7 of this standard. The markings
must be placed between the maximum section width and the bead on at
least one sidewall, unless the maximum section width of the tire is
located in an area that is not more than one-fourth of the distance
from the bead to the shoulder of the tire. If the maximum section
width falls within that area, those markings must appear between the
bead and a point one-half the distance from the bead to the shoulder
of the tire, on at least one sidewall. The markings must be in
letters and numerals not less than 0.078 inches high and raised
above or sunk below the tire surface not less than 0.015 inches* * *
    (e) The generic name of each cord material used in the plies
(both sidewall and tread area) of the tire;
    (f) The actual number of plies in the sidewall, and the actual
number of plies in the tread area, if different* * *

    Goodyear explains that the noncompliance is that, due to a mold
labeling error, the sidewall marking incorrectly describes the plies in
the tread area of the tires. Specifically, the tires in question were
inadvertently manufactured with ``Tread 2 Polyester + 2 Steel + 1
Nylon'' marked on the sidewall. The labeling should have been ``Tread 2
Polyester + 2 Steel.''
    Goodyear makes the argument that this noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety because the noncompliant
sidewall marking does not affect the safety of the tire and that the
tires as built are in compliance with all other sidewall identification
markings and all applicable tire performance requirements specified in
FMVSS No. 139.
    Goodyear points out that NHTSA has previously granted petitions for
sidewall marking noncompliances that it believes are similar to the
instant noncompliance.
    Goodyear also stated that it has corrected the problem that caused
these errors so that they will not be repeated in future production.
    In summation, Goodyear states that it believes that because the
noncompliances are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety that no
corrective action is warranted.

NHTSA Decision

    The agency agrees with Goodyear that the noncompliances are
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. The agency believes that the
true measure of inconsequentiality to motor vehicle safety in this case
is that there is no effect of the noncompliance on the operational
safety of vehicles on which these tires are mounted.
    Although tire construction affects the strength and durability,
neither the agency nor the tire industry provides information relating
tire strength and durability to the number of plies and types of ply
cord material in the tread and sidewall. Therefore, tire dealers and
customers should consider the tire construction information along with
other information such as the load capacity, maximum inflation
pressure, and tread wear, temperature, and traction ratings, to assess
performance capabilities of various tires. In the agency's judgment,
the incorrect labeling of the tire construction information will have
an inconsequential effect on motor vehicle safety because most
consumers do not base tire purchases or vehicle operation parameters on
the ply material or number of plies in a tire.
    The agency also believes the noncompliance will have no measurable
effect on the safety of the tire retread, repair, and recycling
industries. The use of steel cord construction in the sidewall and
tread is the primary safety concern of these industries. In this case,
since the tire sidewalls are marked correctly for the number of steel
plies, this potential safety concern does not exist.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that Goodyear
has met its burden of persuasion that the subject FMVSS No. 139
labeling noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, Goodyear's petition is granted and the petitioner is
exempted from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy
for, the subject noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.

    Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
CFR 1.50 and 501.8)

    Issued on: December 17, 2009.

telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NS Railroad has requested a temporary
deviation from the operating schedule for the vertical lift drawbridge
across the Tombigbee River, mile 44.9, near Jackson, between Washington
and Clarke Counties, Alabama. The bridge has a vertical clearance of 8
feet above ordinary high water at an elevation 24.9 ft (NGVD 29) in the
closed-to-navigation position. Vessels requiring a clearance of less
than 8 feet above ordinary high water may transit beneath the bridge
during maintenance operations.
    In accordance with Title 33 CFR 117.5, the bridge must open
promptly and fully for the passage of vessels when requested or
signaled to open. This deviation will allow the bridge to remain closed
to marine traffic from 7 a.m. on Monday July 8, 2013 through 7 a.m. on
Thursday July 11, 2013. A second 72 hour closure is scheduled from 7
a.m. on Monday July 15, 2013 through 7 a.m. on Thursday July 18, 2013.
Finally, an additional 12 hour closure is scheduled from 7 a.m. through
7 p.m. on Friday July 19, 2013. At all other times, the bridge will
operate in accordance with Title 33 CFR 117.5.
    The closure is necessary for the replacement of worn counter
weights and operation cables. They were discovered after a general
maintenance inspection. This maintenance was then scheduled. Notices
will be published in the Eighth Coast Guard District Local Notice to
Mariners and will be broadcast via the Coast Guard Broadcast Notice to
Mariners System.
    Navigation on the waterway consists of tugs with and without tows,
commercial vessels, and recreational craft. Coordination between the
Coast Guard and the waterway users determined that there should not be
any significant effects on these vessels. The bridge will be unable to
open during these repairs and no alternate route is available. If
vessels can pass without an opening they may proceed with extreme
caution.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the designated
time period. This deviation from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: June 6, 2013.
