Abstract
This document amends our regulation for Anthropomorphic Test Devices by adding a new, more advanced 3-year-old child dummy. The new dummy, part of the family of Hybrid III test dummies, is more representative of humans than the existing Subpart C 3-year-old child dummy in our regulation. Adding the dummy to our regulation is a step toward using the dummy in the tests we conduct to determine compliance with our safety standards. The use of the dummy in our compliance tests will be addressed in separate rulemaking proceedings.
