Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 40 / Monday, March 2, 2015 / Notices

required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be
granted.
VI. NHTSA’s Decision: NHTSA has
reviewed GM’s analyses that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. GM has identified
an intermittent condition during which
the automatic transmission positions on
the console-mounted transmission
control will not be illuminated at key
startup. FMVSS No. 102, paragraph
S3.1.4.1 requires the indicator to display
identification of an automatic
transmission’s positions, including the
position selected and the positions in
relation to each other in view of the
driver. FMVSS No. 101, paragraph
S5.3.1(b) and Table 1 require the
automatic transmission control position
indicator to be illuminated whenever
the headlamps are activated. GM stated
that the failure of illumination is very
rare, has occurred only at startup (not
during driving), and has never been
found to repeat on consecutive ignition
cycles. However, when it does occur,
the transmission position indicator on
the console will not be illuminated
throughout that operating period. The
indicator identifies P,R,N,D or M (M1–
M6) and, except when the
noncompliance occurs at key startup, is
illuminated as required.
FMVSS No. 102 paragraph S3.1.4
permits a redundant display providing
some or all of the required information.
GM identified two instrument clusters
used in the affected vehicles that
provide different amounts of redundant
information. The transmission position
selected is always displayed on both
clusters. In addition, for vehicles other
than the base model (approximately 15
percent of the affected vehicles), the
cluster display includes the position
selected and the positions in relation to
each other for three seconds whenever
the transmission is shifted.
The redundant display on the cluster
identifies the transmission position
selected for all affected vehicles. It is
likely that drivers will become
accustomed to looking at the instrument
cluster rather than looking down at the
console to confirm the desired
transmission position, i.e., ‘‘D,’’ has
been selected. So the lack of
illumination on the console at startup
may go unnoticed. In a panic situation,
an inexperienced driver may not be
familiar with the other positions, i.e.,
how to shift from ‘‘D’’ to ‘‘N’’ to recover
control of the vehicle if an unintended
acceleration occurs. Since the cluster of
85 percent of the vehicles displays this
information for 3 seconds after every
shift, this frequent reminder is
considered sufficient to alert the driver
about the relationship to the other

transmission positions. The 15 percent
(base models) are not so equipped and
present an unreasonable risk to safety.
In consideration of the foregoing,
NHTSA has decided that for all except
the base model vehicles, GM has met its
burden of persuasion that the subject
FMVSS No. 102 noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, GM’s petition is hereby
partially granted and GM is exempted
from the obligation of providing
notification of, and a remedy for the
subject noncompliance for the non-base
model Malibu vehicles (approximately
85 percent of the affected vehicles)
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.
For the base model Malibu vehicles
(approximately 15 percent of the
affected vehicles), NHTSA has decided
that GM has not met its burden of
persuasion that the FMVSS No. 102
noncompliance is inconsequential to
motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, for
those vehicle’s GM’s petition is hereby
denied and GM is obligated to provide
notification of, and a remedy for, the
subject noncompliance under 49 U.S.C.
30118 and 30120.
NHTSA notes that the statutory
provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to
file petitions for a determination of
inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to
exempt manufacturers only from the
duties found in sections 30118 and
30120, respectively, to notify owners,
purchasers, and dealers of a defect or
noncompliance and to remedy the
defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this
decision only applies to the 23,910
model year 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
passenger cars that GM no longer
controlled at the time it determined that
the noncompliance existed. However,
the granting of this petition does not
relieve vehicle distributors and dealers
of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for
introduction into interstate commerce of
the noncompliant vehicles under their
control after GM notified them that the
subject noncompliance existed.

delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and
501.8)

Notice and Request for Comments

Surface Transportation Board.

60-day notice of request for
extension: Notifications of Trails Act
Agreement and Substitute Sponsorship.

ACTION:

As required by the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–
3519 (PRA), the Surface Transportation
Board (STB or Board) gives notice of its
intent to seek from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) an
extension of approval for the collection:
Notifications of Trails Act Agreement
and Substitute Sponsorship.
Under 16 U.S.C. 1247(d) and its
regulations, the STB will issue a
Certificate of Interim Trail Use (CITU) or
Notice of Interim Trail Use (NITU) to a
prospective trail sponsor who offers to
assume managerial, tax, and legal
responsibility for a right-of-way that a
rail carrier would otherwise abandon.
The CITU/NITU permits parties, for 180
days, to negotiate for a railbanking
agreement. If parties reach an
agreement, the CITU/NITU
automatically authorizes railbanking/
interim trail use. If no agreement is
reached, then upon expiration of the
negotiation period, the CITU/NITU
authorizes the railroad to exercise its
option to fully abandon the line without
further action by the Board.
Pursuant to 49 CFR 1152.29, parties
must jointly notify the Board when a
trail use agreement has been reached,
and must identify the exact location of
the right-of-way subject to the
agreement, including a map and
milepost marker information. The rules
also require parties to file a petition to
modify or vacate the CITU/NITU if the
trail use agreement applies to less of the
right-of-way than covered by the CITU/
NITU. Finally, the rules require that a
substitute trail sponsor must
acknowledge that interim trail use is
subject to restoration and reactivation at
any time.
Comments are requested concerning:
(1) The accuracy of the Board’s burden
estimates; (2) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information collected; (3) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on the respondents,
including the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology when
appropriate; and (4) whether the
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Board, including
whether the collection has practical
utility. Submitted comments will be
summarized and included in the
Board’s request for OMB approval.
