Abstract
To facilitate further the modification of vehicles to accommodate individuals with disabilities, this final rule expands the existing exemptions from the "make inoperative" provision of the Vehicle Safety Act. Responding to petitions for rulemaking from members of the mobility industry, this document expands the exemption to include exemptions from provisions of the advanced air bag requirements, the child restraint anchorage system requirements, and the upper interior head protection requirements.
