49 U.S.C. 30111 authorizes the
issuance of Federal motor vehicle safety standards (FMVSS) and
regulations. The agency, in prescribing a FMVSS or regulation,
considers available relevant motor vehicle safety data, and
consults with other agencies, as it deems appropriate. Further, the
statute mandates that in issuing any FMVSS or regulation, the
agency considers whether the standard or regulation 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 a standard will contribute to
carrying out the purpose of the Act.
