Description

This document grants parts of petitions for reconsideration of a 29 December 2021, final rule that established Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 227, “Bus Rollover Structural Integrity.”  The standard is intended to enhance rollover structural integrity and reduce the likelihood of ejection from over-the-road buses (motorcoaches), and other buses with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) greater than 11,793 kilograms (kg) (26,000 pounds (lb)). This final rule adjusts the definition of “transit bus” and revises the maximum allowable weight of objects intruding into the survival space during the rollover test.
