SUMMARY:

aeronautical purpose at the Bradford
Regional Airport under the provisions of
Section 47125(a) of Title 49 U.S.C. On
April 9, 2013, the FAA determined that
the request to lease airport property for
non-aeronautical purpose at the
Bradford Regional Airport (BFD),
Pennsylvania, submitted by the
Bradford Regional Airport Authority
(Authority), met the procedural
requirements.
The following is a brief overview of
the request:
The Authority requests the lease of
approximately 0.50 acres of nonaeronautical airport property to the
Lafayette Township Sewer Authority
(Sewer Authority), Lewis Run,
Pennsylvania. The land was acquired
without Federal participation. The
undeveloped property is located in
Lafayette Township, east of Roberts
Road and immediately adjacent to and
north of Pennsylvania State Route 59.
The Sewer Authority is proposing to use
the property to construct an extension to
the existing Lafayette Township
underground sewer system, and connect
the extension to an existing sewer line
on airport property. As shown on the
Airport Layout Plan, the property does
not serve an aeronautical purpose and is
not needed for airport development. The
sewer line will also not interfere with
normal airport operations. There will be
no proceeds from the lease of the
property, however, the airport will
receive equal if not greater intangible
benefits including: the allocation of two
(2) tap-in connections to the sewer line;
and the allowance of two (2) Equivalent
Dwelling Units, each of which
apportion 400 gallons of sewage flow
per day into the new system.
Any person may inspect the request
by appointment at the FAA office
address listed above. Interested persons
are invited to comment on the proposed
lease. All comments will be considered
by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Issued in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, April 9,
2013.

Sidump’r Trailer Company, Inc., Grant
of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance
National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration, DOT.
ACTION: Grant of petition.
AGENCY:

Sidump’r Trailer Company,
Inc. (Sidump’r) has determined that the
rear impact guards on certain trailers
that it manufactured between January
10, 2006 and April 13, 2007 do not
comply with paragraph S5.1 of 49 CFR
571.224, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 224, Rear Impact
Protection. Sidump’r has filed an

appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR
Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports, dated April
20, 2007.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118 (d) and
30120 (h) and the rule implementing
those provisions at 49 CFR Part 556,
Sidump’r has petitioned for an
exemption from the notification and
remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C.
Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of
a petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on August 16,
2007, in the Federal Register (72 FR
46127). The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
received no comments. To view the
petition and all supporting documents

Management System (FDMS) Web site
at: http://www.regulations.gov/. Then
follow the online search instructions to

28927.’’
For further information on this
decision, contact Mr. Luis Figueroa,
Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance,
NHTSA, telephone (202) 366–5298,
facsimile (202) 366–1002.
Trailers Involved: Affected are
approximately 416 model 223, 325 and
425 side dump bulk material hauling
trailers manufactured by Sidump’r
between January 10, 2006 and April 13,
2007.
Summary of Sidump’r’s Analysis and
Arguments: Sidump’r first became
aware of the noncompliance of these
trailers when Sidump’r received a
customer inquiry on or about February
27, 2007 regarding the rear impact
guards installed on the subject trailers.
As a result of this inquiry, Sidump’r
stated that it commenced a thorough
engineering evaluation of the rear end of
the subject trailers to determine whether
they meet the requirements of FMVSS
No. 224. Following this engineering
evaluation and after consultation with
its counsel, Sidump’r determined that
the trailers do not comply with FMVSS
No. 224.
Specifically, Sidump’r has
determined that the location of those
guards does not meet the requirements
of paragraph S5.1.3 of FMVSS No. 224
because there is a ‘‘push block’’ located
at the rear of the trailer chassis
extending 23.62 inches (600 mm) to the
rear of the rear impact guard. Sidump’r
stated that it considered the ‘‘push
blocks’’ to be the ‘‘rear extremities’’ of
the subject trailers. Therefore, it
concluded that the rearmost surface of
the horizontal members of the rear
impact guards are located 11.62 inches
(295 mm) too far forward of the ‘‘rear

PO 00000

Frm 00100

Fmt 4703

22941

extremity’’ of the trailers to conform
with the requirements of paragraph
S5.1.3.
Sidump’r also examined the
possibility of the ‘‘push block’’ itself
serving as the rear impact guard. It
determined that the ‘‘push block’’ itself
does not constitute a compliant rear
impact guard as originally installed
because it exceeds the maximum ground
clearance of 22 inches (560 mm)
allowed by paragraph S5.1.2 of FMVSS
No. 224 by 1.5 inches (38 mm).
Sidump’r stated that it has corrected
the problem that caused the
noncompliance in the trailers they
produced after April 20, 2007 by
modifying the design of the trailers to
incorporate an additional horizontal
member mounted to the underside of
the ‘‘push block’’ assembly.
Sidump’r also stated that it believes
this noncompliance is inconsequential
to motor vehicle safety and that no
further corrective action is warranted
due to the geometric characteristics of
the trailers and the nature of their field
usage. Specifically, Sidump’r makes the
arguments that the overall level of safety
of the subject trailers is equivalent to a
compliant trailer because their ‘‘push
block’’ is equipped with a guard-like
structure that is comparable to a
compliant rear impact guard based on
dimensional considerations, and on a
simulation of the guard performance 1
when subjected to the loads required
under FMVSS No. 223. Sidump’r
additionally supported its position that
the overall level of safety of the
noncompliant trailers is equivalent to
comparable trailers by comparing them
to road construction controlled
horizontal discharge trailers and by
citing several previous decisions where
NHTSA granted temporary exemptions
from compliance with FMVSS No. 224
as the result of petitions filed under 49
CFR Part 555 Temporary Exemption
From Motor Vehicle Safety and Bumper
Standards for noncompliances that it
considers similar in consequence to
those covered in this petition.
Discussion
Requirement Background
Paragraph S5.1.3 Guard Rear Surface
of FMVSS No. 224 requires:
At any height 560 mm or more above the
ground, the rearmost surface of the horizontal
member of the guard shall be located as close
as practical to a transverse vertical plane
tangent to the rear extremity of the vehicle,
but no more than 305 mm forward of that
