Removing Obsolete Directives from Phase-In Reporting Requirements
Summary
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is proposing to remove outdated reporting requirements that car manufacturers have been following during a phase-in period for vehicle safety standards. This change would simplify paperwork for automakers by eliminating rules that are no longer needed because the phase-in period has ended.
Key Points
- 1NHTSA is removing old directives that told car manufacturers how to report on new vehicle safety features being introduced gradually over time
- 2These reporting requirements are now obsolete because the phase-in periods they were designed for have already been completed
- 3The change would reduce paperwork burden for car manufacturers while maintaining current safety standards
- 4The public has until July 31, 2025 to submit comments on whether this proposal is a good idea
- 5This is a proposed rule, meaning it's not final yet and could be modified based on feedback received
