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.
