Abstract: The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act (PSEA) of 2010, Public Law 111-373, 124 Stat. 4086 (January 4, 2011), requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to promulgate a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) setting minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles. The PSEA requires that the final rule establishing this standard be issued by January 4, 2014, and include a phase-in schedule that concludes with "full compliance with the required motor vehicle safety standard for motor vehicles manufactured on or after September 1st of the calendar year that begins 3 years after the date on which the final rule is issued." The PSEA requires NHTSA to establish a phase-in period for compliance with the new FMVSS. 49 U.S.C. 30111, 30112 and 30117 of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 (the "Act") specify that the Secretary of Transportation shall prescribe FMVSSs, and that each safety standard shall be practicable, meet the safety need for motor vehicle safety, and be stated in objective terms. The Secretary is authorized to issue, amend and revoke such rules and regulations as she/he deems necessary to carry out these sub-chapters. NHTSA, in prescribing a FMVSS, is to consider available relevant motor vehicle safety data, consult with appropriate agencies, and obtain safety comments from the responsible agencies, states, safety commissions, public and other related parties. Further, the Act mandates that in issuing any FMVSS, the agency considers whether the standard is "reasonable, practicable and appropriate for the particular type of motor vehicle or item of motor vehicle equipment for which it is prescribed," and whether such standards will contribute to carrying out the purpose of the Act.
