{"abstract":"This notice seeks comments on a May 9, 2002 comment from the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA), in response to our December 18, 2001 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on Disposition of Recalled Tires (66 FR 65165). In the NPRM, we proposed to require that tire dealers render returned recalled tires unsuitable for use on the day removed from the vehicle or from stock, and then dispose of them in accordance with manufacturers' plans and applicable laws, in ways that minimize the deposit of the tires in landfills. RMA urged NHTSA to allow tire manufacturers the option of requiring that dealers return all recalled tires directly to the manufacturer, instead of requiring tire dealers and distributors to dispose of the tires themselves. RMA also urged us to consider a number of other suggested revisions to the NPRM. RMA attached suggested regulatory language to its comment. We seek comments on the merits of RMA's general approach, on whether RMA's proposal is consistent with statutory requirements, and on RMA's proposed regulatory text.","action":"Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.","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"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/07/26/02-18996.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":573,"title":49}],"citation":"67 FR 48852","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Comments: You should submit your comments early enough to ensure that Docket Management receives them not later than August 26, 2002.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. NHTSA-2001-10856","Notice 2"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"02-18996","effective_on":null,"end_page":48855,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2002/07/26/02-18996.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/07/26/02-18996/motor-vehicle-safety-disposition-of-recalled-tires","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/02-18996?publication_date=2002-07-26","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2002-07-26/02-18996/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":4,"page_views":{"count":37,"last_updated":"2026-10-23 16:15:07 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-07-26/pdf/02-18996.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2002-07-26","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2002/07/26/02-18996.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2127-AI29":{"issue":"200404","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/2127-AI29/disposition-of-replaced-tires","title":"Disposition of Replaced Tires","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=200404&RIN=2127-AI29&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["2127-AI29"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":48852,"subtype":null,"title":"Motor Vehicle Safety; Disposition of Recalled Tires","toc_doc":"Recalled tires disposition","toc_subject":"Motor vehicle safety standards:","topics":[],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":67}
