Abstract
On November 27, 1996, NHTSA published a final rule requiring vehicles with air bags to have new warning labels. Two labels include language that children are safest in the back seat. Automobile manufacturers have asked whether this language is appropriate in vehicles which do not have a back seat. This notice corrects the language of the final rule to allow manufacturers of vehicles with no back seat to omit these sentences. This notice also corrects a typographic error in a December 4, 1996 correcting amendment which changed the dates in the regulatory text from 1997 to 1996.
