Abstract
On May 24, 1999, NHTSA published a final rule rescinding the requirement that passenger car manufacturers provide general Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQGS) information to purchasers and potential purchasers at the point of sale of new motor vehicles, requiring instead that such information be included in owner's manuals. In addition, the rule removed the requirement that motor vehicle manufacturers supply copies of UTQGS information to the agency. In response to two petitions for reconsideration of that final rule, NHTSA is staying the requirement for the inclusion of UTQGS information into the owner's manual for one year until September 1, 2000. The agency is also clarifying an intended change in the May 24, 1999 final rule.
