Description

This final rule amends Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 208, “Occupant crash protection,” updating the child restraint systems (CRSs) listed in the standard. NHTSA uses the CRSs to test the performance of advanced air bag suppression and low risk deployment systems in either suppressing or deploying the air bag in a low-risk manner in the presence of a CRS. The amendments will ensure that the CRSs used by NHTSA to test advanced air bags are representative of the current CRS market and will make it easier for vehicle manufacturers and test laboratories to acquire CRSs for testing purposes.Effective date: 21 October 2024.    Petition for reconsideration: If you wish to petition for reconsideration of this rule, your petition must be received by 7 October 2024.Compliance date: This final rule adopts a phase-in of the revised appendix. The phase-in begins on 1 September 2025, when forty percent of a manufacturer's applicable light vehicles must comply with the revised appendix. By 1 September 2026, all applicable light vehicles must comply with the revised appendix. We are also allowing optional early compliance.89 Federal Register (FR) 67869, Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 571 and 585_x000D_
