SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The complete application is available
for review identified in the DOT docket
as MARAD 2021–0248 at http://
www.regulations.gov. Interested parties
may comment on the effect this action
may have on U.S. vessel builders or
businesses in the U.S. that use U.S.-flag
vessels. If MARAD determines, in
accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and
MARAD’s regulations at 46 CFR part
388, that the employment of the vessel
in the coastwise trade to carry no more
than 12 passengers will have an unduly
adverse effect on a U.S.-vessel builder or
a business that uses U.S.-flag vessels in
that business, MARAD will not issue an
approval of the vessel’s coastwise
endorsement eligibility. Comments
should refer to the vessel name, state the
commenter’s interest in the application,
and address the eligibility criteria given
in section 388.4 of MARAD’s
regulations at 46 CFR part 388.

III. Noncompliance
TAP explains that the noncompliance
is that the vehicle placards on the
subject trailer kits, do not fully comply
with the formatting and color
requirements (which require either
‘‘yellow text on black background’’ or
‘‘black text on yellow background’’) as
required by paragraph S4.3.5 and Figure
1 of FMVSS No. 110. The TAP placards
were mounted with black text on a
white background.
IV. Rule Requirements
S4.3.5 and Figure 1 of FMVSS No. 110
include the requirements relevant to
this petition. Each trailer, except for an
incomplete vehicle, must show the
information specified in S4.3(c) through
(g). This information, per Figures 1 and
2 of FMVSS No. 110, should be
illustrated with EITHER ‘‘Yellow Text
on Black Background’’ or ‘‘Black Text
on Yellow Background.’’ Additionally,
at the manufacturer’s option, they may
show the information specified in
S4.3(h) proximate to the placard or the
Tire Information Pressure Label and the
listed elements of S4.3(i) in accordance
with S4.3(d). The information specified
in S4.3(e) shall be shown on both the
vehicle placard and on the tire inflation
pressure label (if such a label is affixed
to provide the information specified in
S4.3(c), (d), (h), and (i)) in the format
and color scheme set forth in Figures 1
and 2.
V. Summary of TAP’s Petition
TAP described the subject
noncompliance and stated its belief that
the noncompliance is inconsequential
as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
In support of its petition, TAP
submitted the following reasoning:
1. The subject tire pressure
information labels provide all required
and correct technical information, and
because such information is found in
three other locations, there is no safety
risk or risk of tire overloading.
a. TAP states that the SCOUT Trailers
are equipped with tires that can handle
their load carrying capacity, and there
is, accordingly, no risk of overloading.
The SCOUT Trailer’s tires are safe and
comply with all applicable standards.
The sole noncompliance at issue in this
petition relates to formatting, namely
the tire information label, not
conforming to the formatting and color
requirements provided in Figure 1 of
FMVSS No. 110. TAP says that because
the tire pressure information labels
contain all the information required by
FMVSS No. 110 and because such
information is accurate, the subject
noncompliance will not create a safety
