Abstract
On April 8, 1997, (62 FR 16718) NHTSA published a final rule amending Standard No. 201, ``Occupant Protection in Interior Impact,'' to include another phase-in option, allow manufacturers to carry forward credits for vehicles certified to the free-motion headform impact requirements prior to the beginning of the phase-in period, exclude buses with a GVWR of more than 3,860 kilograms (8,500 pounds), specify that all attachments to the vehicle upper interior components are to remain in place during compliance testing, and make other changes to the test procedure to clarify some areas of confusion. This document corrects minor errors in S2 and S8.12(a)(1) of Standard No. 201 (49 CFR 571.201).
