30-Day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 227 / Friday, November 28, 2025 / Notices
300 cd, but the subject lamps’ output
measured 321.47 cd at test point HV, or
about seven percent higher than the
maximum allowed. Tesla mentions two
reports it says NHTSA has referred to in
similar cases, Driver Perception of JustNoticeable Differences (of Automotive
Signal Lamps) (1994) and Just
Noticeable Differences for Low-Beam
Headlamp Intensities (1997), both of
which Tesla says concluded that most
drivers cannot distinguish differences of
twenty-five percent or less in
automotive lamp intensities. Because
the photometric intensity of the subject
lamps exceeds the requirement by seven
percent, Tesla contends that, based on
the findings of the two studies
mentioned above, NHTSA should find
that the difference between a compliant
and noncompliant combination lamp is
imperceptible and inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety.
Tesla states that there are no
complaints or reported accidents or
injuries that may have been caused by
this noncompliance. While Tesla
acknowledges that a lack of complaints
or reported accidents is not dispositive
in the consideration of a petition for
inconsequential noncompliance, Tesla
states that this fact illustrates that field
performance has not been otherwise
affected by the noncompliance.
Tesla provides, in Section III of its
petition, precedents that NHTSA has set
by granting the following petitions for
inconsequential noncompliance:
• A 1987 petition by Chrysler Corp.
(52 FR 17499) for backup lamps that fell
below the minimum required
luminosity. Quoting the NHTSA
decision—‘‘. . . a deficiency of 20
[percent] in this area, spread over a
population of only 800 cars, is
statistically unlikely to produce even
one injury over the lifetime of all the
cars.’’
• A 1990 petition by Hella, Inc., (55
FR 37601) for taillamps with a
luminosity at most 20 percent greater
than the maximum luminosity allowed
by regulation. Quoting NHTSA’s
decision—‘‘The agency has also
considered information indicating that a
reduction of approximately 25 percent
in luminous intensity is required before
the human eye can detect the difference
between two lamps.’’
• A 1991 petition by Subaru of
America (56 FR 59971) for side reflex
reflectors measured 20 percent below
the minimum required luminous
intensity. Quoting the decision by
NHTSA—‘‘a reduction of approximately
25 percent in luminous intensity is
required before the human eye can
detect the difference between two
lamps.’’

• A 2019 petition by Toyota Motor
North America, Inc., (85 FR 39679) for
rear reflectors that failed to meet the
minimum photometry requirements by
as much as 18 percent below the
required minimum. Tesla states that
NHTSA’s decision cited the
aforementioned Hella and Subaru
petitions and quotes NHTSA as
stating—‘‘imperceptible difference in
illumination makes this noncompliance
inconsequential to motor vehicle
safety.’’
• Tesla also stated, in Section III of its
petition, that ‘‘[i]n 2020, NHTSA
granted Nissan North America, Inc.’s
petition . . . related to front side marker
lamps that do not meet the minimum
photometric intensity requirement
. . . . by 15 [percent].’’ Tesla cited ‘‘87
FR 21259’’ in footnote 16 of its petition
in relation to this petition. NHTSA
notes that the citation 87 FR 21259 was
the April 11, 2022, decision notice
denying Nissan’s petition for its
noncompliance to the minimum
required vertical gradient for
headlamps.
Tesla states that the noncompliance in
this case is similar to previously granted
petitions for inconsequential
noncompliance and distinguishable
from similar petitions that were denied.
Tesla provides two examples of denied
petitions and argues why the petition in
question is different.
• North American Subaru, Inc. filed a
petition for inconsequential
noncompliance in 2022 (87 FR 48764)
for side reflex reflectors that were
measured to be almost thirty percent
below the required minimum
luminosity. NHTSA denied the petition,
stating ‘‘. . . NHTSA recognizes that the
photometry criteria evaluated for reflex
reflectors measured in (cd/incident ft-c)
or (mcd/lux) whereas tail lamps are
measured in candela (cd) and therefore
it is not proper to apply the logic of the
tail lamp analysis to reflect reflectors,
despite the prior grant.’’ Tesla states
that, unlike this Subaru example, the
subject noncompliant rear combination
lamp is measured in cd., the signaling
function is activated only in transient
state, i.e., during brake application and/
or indication of driver intent to change
vehicle course and that the
noncompliant lamp is well within the
twenty-five percent threshold
established in the DOT and UMTRI
studies and is therefore imperceptible to
most drivers.
• Mercedes-Benz USA LLC, filed a
petition for inconsequential
noncompliance in 2016 (81 FR 21660)
for headlamps that exceeded the
maximum allowed photometric
intensity by as much as forty percent.

Tesla states that the NHTSA decision to
deny the petition was based on the
headlamps being above the twenty-five
percent threshold established in the
DOT and UMTRI studies. The subject
Tesla rear combination lamps measure
only seven percent above the maximum
allowed photometric intensity, rather
than the forty percent in the denied
Mercedes petition.
Tesla concludes by stating its belief
that the subject noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety and its petition to be
exempted from providing notification of
the noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49
U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any
decision on this petition only applies to
the subject vehicles that Tesla no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
any decision on this petition does not
relieve vehicles distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after Tesla notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) § 1320.8(d), requires the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) to provide
interested members of the public and
affected agencies the opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping requests before they are
submitted to OMB for approval. In
accordance with this regulation, on July
15, 2025, PHMSA published a Federal
Register notice (90 FR 31748) with a 60day comment period soliciting
comments on its intent to request
OMB’s renewed approval of the
information collection requests that are
due to expire in 2026.
During the 60-day comment period,
PHMSA received comment from an
anonymous commenter and a joint
comment from the American Gas
Association and the American Public
Gas Association (AGA Joint Comment)
pertaining to the proposed renewal of
certain information collections. The
AGA Joint Comment addressed: 1. New
Customer Notifications for Excess Flow
Valves; 2. Notification Requirements for
Gas Transmission Pipelines; and 3.
Amendments to Annual Report for Gas
Distribution Operators. The comment
expressed concerns that these
information collection activities are
unnecessary and do not contribute
meaningfully to pipeline safety. The
AGA Joint Comment also proposed
regulatory changes to eliminate the
notification requirements which would

geospatial data, the name and address of
the person with primary operational
control (to be known as its operator),
and a means for a member of the public
to contact the operator for additional
information about the pipeline facilities
it operates. Operators will submit the
requested data elements once and make
annual updates to the data if necessary.
These data elements strengthen the
effectiveness of PHMSA’s risk rankings
and evaluations, which are used as a
factor in determining pipeline
inspection priority and frequency; allow
for more effective assistance to
emergency responders by providing
them with a more reliable, complete
data set of pipelines and facilities; and
provide better support to PHMSA’s
inspectors by providing more accurate
pipeline locations and additional
pipeline-related geospatial data that can
be linked to tabular data in PHMSA’s
inspection database.
