## Abstract

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published an interim final rule on September 1, 1998, setting forth criteria for State seat belt use surveys to be conducted in connection with a new Federal grant program under section 1403 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, ``Safety Incentive Grants for Use of Seat Belts.'' The comment period for the rule closed on January 29, 1999. In response to interest by the States, NHTSA is reopening the comment period and extending it until March 1, 1999.
