Based on its previous research, NHTSA concurs with and adopts most of the European New Car Assessment Programme's (Euro NCAP) pedestrian crashworthiness assessment methods, including the injury limits for test devices and the score calculation method used for impact points. NHTSA will identify new model year vehicles meeting a certain minimum safety threshold on the Agency's website and other published literature. This notice responds in part to the provisions in Section 24213 of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which requires NHTSA to incorporate measures in NCAP for evaluating the protection that new vehicles provide vulnerable road users like pedestrians.","document_number":"2024-27446","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/25/2024-27446/new-car-assessment-program-final-decision-notice-crashworthiness-pedestrian-protection","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-11-25/pdf/2024-27446.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-27446.pdf?1732283120","publication_date":"2024-11-25","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION","name":"Transportation Department","id":492,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/transportation-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/492","parent_id":null,"slug":"transportation-department"},{"raw_name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","name":"National Highway Traffic Safety Administration","id":345,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/national-highway-traffic-safety-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/345","parent_id":492,"slug":"national-highway-traffic-safety-administration"}],"excerpts":" Adopted Component <span class=\"match\">Scoring</span> Method \n \n The vehicle's performance will be <span class=\"match\">scored</span> based on the resulting injury assessment values from each impact test.

The test is designed to ensure, as required by statute, that non- uniform or non-broad-based health care-related taxes, authorized under a waiver, are generally redistributive. The inadvertent loophole currently allows some health care-related taxes, especially taxes on managed care organizations, to be imposed at higher tax rates on Medicaid taxable units than non-Medicaid taxable units, contrary to statutory and regulatory intent for health care-related taxes to be generally redistributive. The final rule closes the loophole by finalizing the policies in the proposed rule to add additional safeguards to ensure that tax waivers that exploit the loophole because they pass the current statistical test, but are not generally redistributive, are not approvable. By adding these safeguards, the final rule is also implementing recently added statutory requirements for a tax to be considered generally redistributive.","document_number":"2026-02040","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/02/02/2026-02040/medicaid-program-preserving-medicaid-funding-for-vulnerable-populations-closing-a-health","pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-02-02/pdf/2026-02040.pdf","public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2026-02040.pdf?1769721310","publication_date":"2026-02-02","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","name":"Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services","id":45,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/45","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-medicare-medicaid-services"}],"excerpts":"care.
