Abstract
This rule amends the passenger automobile fuel economy regulation by providing a procedure by which a vehicle manufacturer may notify NHTSA of the model year in which it elects to consider production of components and automobile assembly in Mexico as domestic value added. This domestic value added is used to determine if a passenger automobile should be assigned to the manufacturer's import or domestic fleet for computation of the fleet average fuel economy. The amendment implements a provision of the North American Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 1993.
