Abstract: FMVSS No. 403 sets forth safety requirements for platform lifts that wheelchair users and other persons with limited mobility use to enter and exit motor vehicles. FMVSS No. 404 is a related standard that places safety requirements on vehicle manufacturers or alterers that install platform lifts in vehicles. Platform lifts may be installed on public vehicles such as transit buses and motorcoaches or on privately operated vehicles such as modifed vans. According to the requirements of these two safety standards, lift manufacturers must produce an insert for the vehicle owner's manual providing instructions for installation, operation, and maintenance as well as either one or two labels to be placed on or near the lift controls to illustrate and describe lift operation. The insert and labeling must indicate the lift capacity and whether the lift is certified for public use or for private use.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a slight adjustment in the estimate of the burden hours. The requirements of FMVSS 403 can be fulfilled with either one or two labels on the platform lift. The previous request, it was assumed that only one label will be used, the current estimate now is that 2 labels will be used. So the burden for labeling doubled from 48 hours to 96 hour increasing the total hours from 144 to 192. In the previous submission the cost was rounded to only $9,000.00 instead of the complete $9,315.00, which currently is generating the increase of $315.00.
