Abstract
In this document, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is granting in part petitions for reconsideration of an April 5, 1995 final rule that, among other things, amended 49 CFR Parts 573, 576, and 577 (60 FR 17254). On reconsideration, the agency is amending provisions of that final rule concerning submission by manufacturers of schedules for recall campaigns, recordkeeping regarding recalls of leased vehicles, record retention period, and notification to lessees of recall campaigns. NHTSA has concluded that these changes will reduce manufacturer burdens without adversely affecting the agency's recall program.
