the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class E airspace at Atlantic City International
Airport, Atlantic City, NJ.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 to amend Class E airspace designated as an
extension to Class C surface area, and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the surface at Atlantic City
International Airport, due to the closing of Atlantic City Municipal/
Bader Field from the airspace description as the airport has closed, no
longer requiring controlled airspace.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6003 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and
effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will
be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-88473; File No. SR-Phlx-92020-14]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq PHLX LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend Options 3,
Section 8, Openings in Options

March 25, 2020.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on March 24, 2020, Nasdaq PHLX LLC (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend Phlx Rules at Options 3, Section 8,
titled ``Openings in Options.''
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqphlx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Phlx Rules at Options 3, Section 8,
titled ``Openings in Options.'' The Exchange proposes to rename this
rule ``Options Opening Process.'' Specifically, the Exchange is
proposing to amend the definition of ``market for the underlying
security'' within Options 3, Section 8(a)(ii).
    Today Options 3, Section 8(a)(ii) describes ``market for the
underlying security'' as ``. . .either the primary listing market or
the primary volume market (defined as the market with the most
liquidity in that underlying security for the previous two calendar
months), as determined by the Exchange by underlying and announced to
the membership on the Exchange's website.''
    The Exchange proposes to amend this definition by replacing the
term ``primary volume market'' with ``an alternative market designated
by the primary market.'' The Exchange anticipates that an alternative
market would be necessary if the primary listing market were
impaired.\3\ In the event that a primary market is impaired and
utilizes its designated alternative market, the Exchange would utilize
that market as the underlying.\4\ The

Exchange further proposes an additional contingency. In the event that
the primary market is unable to open, and an alternative market is not
designated (and/or the designated alternative market does not open),
the Exchange may utilize a non-primary market to open all underlying
securities from the primary market. The Exchange will select the non-
primary market with the most liquidity in the aggregate for all
underlying securities that trade on the primary market for the previous
two calendar months, excluding the primary and alternate markets. The
Exchange notes that in order to open an option series it would require
an equity market's underlying quote. If another equity market displays
opening prices for the underlying security, the Exchange proposes to
utilize those quotes. This proposed change to the current System would
allow the Exchange to open in situations where the primary market is
experiencing an issue and also where an alternative market designated
by the primary market may not be designated by the primary market or is
unable to open. The Exchange believes that this proposal would
effectively provide the Exchange with additional opportunities to open
the market and provide its members with a venue in which to transact
options trading. The Exchange notes that utilizing a non-primary market
with the most liquidity in the aggregate for all underlying securities
for the previous two calendar months will ensure that the Exchange
opens with quotes which are representative of the volume on that
primary market. The Exchange believes that this proposal will enable it
to open in the event that there are issues with the primary market or
the alternate market assigned by the primary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Exchange notes that the primary listing market and the
primary volume market as defined in Phlx's Rules could be the same
market and therefore an alternative market is not available under
the current Rule.
    \4\ For example, in the event that the New York Stock Exchange
LLC was unable to open because of an issue with its market and it
designated NYSE Arca, Inc. (``NYSE Arca'') as its alternative
market, then PHLX would utilize NYSE Arca as the market for the
underlying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to make a corresponding amendment to
Options 3, Section 8(d)(ii) to replace the reference to ``primary
market'' with the defined term ``market for the underlying security.''
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\5\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade and to protect investors and the
public interest by providing for alternative processes to determine the
market for the underlying. The Exchange's proposal to amend the
definition of ``market for the underlying security'' within Options 3,
Section 8(a)(ii) is consistent with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, the Exchange's proposal would remove the concept of a
primary volume market and replace that concept with an alternative
market designated by the primary market. The Exchange notes that it is
most likely the case that the primary market is the primary volume
market, so this term offers no contingency in most cases. The primary
market has the ability to designate an alternate primary market when
the primary market is experiencing difficulties. In those situations,
the Exchange proposes to utilize the alternate primary market to open
its market. For example, in the event that the New York Stock Exchange
LLC was unable to open because of an issue with its market and it
designated NYSE Arca as its alternative market, then Phlx would utilize
NYSE Arca as the market for the underlying security.
    Second, the Exchange proposes another alternative in the event that
the primary market does not open and an alternate primary market is not
designated and/or is also unable to open. In this situation, the
Exchange proposes to utilize a non-primary market to open its market.
The Exchange will select the non-primary market with the most liquidity
in the aggregate for all underlying securities from the primary market
for the previous two calendar months, excluding the primary and
alternate markets. For example, in the event that the New York Stock
Exchange LLC was unable to open because of an issue with its market and
it designated NYSE Arca as its alternative market, and the alternate
primary was unable to open or NYSE was unable to designate an alternate
market because of system difficulties, then Phlx would determine which
non-primary market had the most liquidity in the aggregate for all
underlying securities for the previous two calendar months, excluding
the primary and alternate markets. The Exchange would utilize that
market to open all underlying securities from the primary market. The
Exchange notes that in order to open an option series it would require
an equity market's underlying quote. The Exchange notes that utilizing
a non-primary market with the most liquidity in the aggregate for all
underlying securities for the previous two calendar months will ensure
that the Exchange opens based on the next best alternative to the
primary market given the circumstances. This contingency will provide
the Exchange with the ability to open in situations where the primary
market is experiencing an issue and also where an alternative primary
market may also be impacted.
    The Exchange believes that this proposal would protect investors
and the general public by providing additional venues for Phlx to
utilize as part of its Opening Process and thereby allow investors to
transact on its market. The Exchange desires to open its market despite
any issues that may arise with the underlying market. The Exchange is
proposing alternate methods to open its market to account for
situations which may arise if the primary market is unable to open, and
if the proposed alternate designated market is unable to open. The
Exchange notes that once the market opens with an underlying price, the
options market may continue to trade for the remainder of the trading
day. The Exchange believes it benefits investors and the general public
to have the options market available to enter new positions, or close
open positions.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Amending the definition of
``market for the underlying security'' within Options 3, Section
8(a)(ii) does not burden competition. The Exchange's proposal offers
alternative paths to open Phlx in the event that the primary market or
even a designated alternate primary market experiences an issue. The
Exchange's proposal is intended to create additional certainty that in
the event of an issue with the primary market, the Exchange would have
other equity markets to look to with respect to underlying prices on
which to open Phlx. This proposal also does not impact the ability of
other options markets to open.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become

operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such
shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act \9\ normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date
of its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \10\ permits the
Commission to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent
with the protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange
has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the Exchange may amend its rules to permit the Exchange to utilize
additional venues to open its market if the primary market and any
designated alternate market for the underlying security are
experiencing an issue and unable to open, thereby allowing investors to
transact on its market in such a situation. The Exchange believes that
having its options market available to enter new positions or close
open positions would benefit investors and the general public. For
these reasons, the Commission believes that waiver of the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the operative
delay and designates the proposal as operative upon filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \11\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission also has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, W43-481, Washington, DC
20590. Please identify the relevant collection of information by
referring to its OMB Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must first publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulation at 5 CFR
1320.8(d), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected;
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g. permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks for public
comments on the following proposed collections of information:
    Title of Collection: Record Retention.
    OMB Control Number: 2127-0042.
    Type of Request: Reinstatement of a currently approved information
collection \1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The approval for this collection expires on April 30, 2018.
Because NHTSA will not be able to submit a request for renewal of
this collection to OMB by that date, we are requesting that OMB
reinstate this collection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Abstract: Under 49 U.S.C. Section 30166(e), NHTSA ``reasonably may
require a manufacturer of a motor

vehicle or motor vehicle equipment to keep records, and a manufacturer,
distributor or dealer to make reports, to enable NHTSA to decide
whether the manufacturer, distributor, or dealer has complied or is
complying with this chapter or a regulation prescribed under this
chapter.'' To ensure that NHTSA will have access to this type of
information, the agency exercised the authority granted in 49 U.S.C.
Section 30166(e) and promulgated 49 CFR part 576 Record Retention,
initially published on August 20, 1974 and most recently amended on
July 10, 2002 (67 FR 45873), requiring manufacturers to retain one copy
of all records that contain information concerning malfunctions that
may be related to motor vehicle safety for a period of five calendar
years after the record is generated or acquired by the manufacturer.
Manufacturers are also required to retain for ten years (five years for
manufacturers of child seats and tires) the underlying records related
to early warning reporting (EWR) information submitted under 49 CFR
part 579. The information collected supports the Department's Strategic
goal of safety.
    Affected Public: Manufacturers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1020.
    Frequency: As needed.
    Number of Responses: 1000.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40,020.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Cost: $804,000.
    Comments are invited on: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the Department's
performance; (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for the
Department to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the
information collection; and (d) ways that the burden could be minimized
without reducing the quality of the collected information. The agency
will summarize and/or include your comments in the request for OMB's
clearance of this information collection.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30654; Amdt. No 3310]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient

use of the navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations
under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective March 11, 2009. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of March 11, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,

6030, or go to:http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_
federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit http://www.nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry J. Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125),
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and specifies the
types of SIAPs and the effective dates of the associated Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also identifies the airport and its
location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in
less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,1979) ;
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2019-0105]

Denial of Motor Vehicle Defect Petition, DP19-004

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Denial of petition for a defect investigation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On September 19, 2019, Mr. Roger Hogan (the petitioner)
submitted a defect petition to NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation
(ODI). The petition requested that the Agency investigate and recall
certain Toyota Prius, Prius PHV, Camry Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid
vehicles for a brake actuator solenoid valve wear condition that is
currently covered under Toyota Customer Support Programs (CSPs) ZJB and
ZKK (subject CSPs). NHTSA opened Defect Petition DP19-004 to evaluate
the petitioner's request. Subsequently the petitioner informed NHTSA
that he was withdrawing the petition. Since the petitioner has
withdrawn the petition, we are denying the petition as moot.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Kareem Habib, Vehicle Defects
Division--D, Office of Defects Investigation, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey
Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590 (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: By letter dated September 19, 2019, Mr.
Roger Hogan (the petitioner) submitted a petition requesting that the
Agency investigate and recall certain Toyota Prius, Prius PHV, Camry
Hybrid and Avalon Hybrid vehicles for a brake actuator solenoid valve
wear condition that is currently covered under Toyota Customer Support
Programs ZJB and ZKK (subject CSPs). Interested persons may petition
NHTSA requesting that the agency initiate an investigation to determine
whether a motor vehicle or item of replacement equipment does not
comply with an applicable motor vehicle safety standard or contains a
defect that relates to motor vehicle safety (49 U.S.C. 30162(a)(2); 49
CFR 552.1). Upon receipt of a properly filed petition, the Agency
conducts a technical review of the petition, material submitted with
the petition and any additional information (49 CFR 552.6). After
conducting the technical review and considering appropriate factors,
which may include, but are not limited to, the nature of the complaint,
allocation of Agency resources, Agency priorities, the likelihood of
uncovering sufficient evidence to establish the existence of a defect,
and the likelihood of success in any necessary enforcement litigation,
the Agency will grant or deny the petition. See 49 CFR 552.8.
    The petition alleged that Toyota conducted safety recalls D0H and
K0L (NHTSA recalls 13V-235 and 19V-544) to remedy safety defects in the
same component covered by the subject CSPs and that Toyota should also
recall the subject vehicles. In support, the petition identified 117
NHTSA complaints (subject complaints) allegedly related to the subject
CSP condition, including 60 reported crashes.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Because the petition is moot, ODI has not confirmed that the
complaints identified in the petition relate to the CSP condition as
alleged by the petitioner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On September 30, 2019, ODI opened Defect Petition DP19-004 to
evaluate the petitioner's request for an investigation. The petitioner
subsequently notified the Agency that he was withdrawing his petition.
Because the petitioner has withdrawn the petition, we are denying the
petition as moot.
    NHTSA is authorized to issue an order requiring notification and
remedy of a defect if the Agency's investigation shows a defect in the
design, construction, or performance of a motor vehicle that presents
an unreasonable risk to safety. 49 U.S.C. 30102(a)(9), 30118. Because
the petitioner has with withdrawn the petition, the petition is denied
as moot. This action does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a
safety-related defect does not exist. The Agency notes that it is not
required to receive a defect petition prior to opening a defect
investigation and will take further action if warranted by future
circumstances.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30162(d); delegations of authority at CFR 1.50
and 501.8.
