Hollings Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation United States Senate The Honorable Thomas J. Bliley, Jr. Chairman The Honorable John D. Dingell Ranking Minority Member Committee on Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration: Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Occupant Crash Protection Pursuant to section 801(a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation, National ighway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), entitled Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Occupant Crash Protection (RIN: 2127-AG59). We received the rule on March 17, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on March 19, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 12960. The final rule amends the NHTSA's occupant crash protection standard to ensure that vehicle manufacturers can quickly depower all air bags so that they inflate less aggressively. NHTSA states that the rule presents an interim solution to the problem of the fatalities and injuries that current air bag designs are causing in relatively low speed crashes to children, and occasionally to adult occupants. The final rule was made effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register which was March 19, 1997. This action did not allow the 60-day delay in a major rule's effective date as required by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement GAO/OGC-97-33
