{"abstract":"This document responds, in part, to petitions for reconsideration of the amendments we made in November 2003 to the advanced air bag provisions in the occupant crash protection standard. Because of time constraints faced by vehicle manufacturers in certifying vehicles under procedures established in the November 2003 final rule, we bifurcated our response. This document is the second of two documents responding to the petitions. It addresses those issues raised by petitioners regarding positioning of the 5th percentile adult female, six-year-old and three-year-old test dummies; determination of target points during low risk deployment tests; specifications for child restraint systems for automatic suppression system tests; and clarification of seat adjustment procedures.","action":"Final rule; response to petitions for reconsideration.","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/2004/08/20/04-18967.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":571,"title":49}],"citation":"69 FR 51598","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Effective date: The amendments made in this rule are effective September 1, 2004.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket No. NHTSA-2004-18905"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"04-18967","effective_on":"2004-09-01","end_page":51608,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2004/08/20/04-18967.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/08/20/04-18967/federal-motor-vehicle-safety-standards-occupant-crash-protection","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/04-18967?publication_date=2004-08-20","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2004-08-20/04-18967/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":11,"page_views":{"count":139,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 14:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-08-20/pdf/04-18967.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2004-08-20","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2004/08/20/04-18967.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"2127-AJ42":null},"regulation_id_numbers":["2127-AJ42"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2011-11-12T12:53:55Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":51598,"subtype":null,"title":"Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Occupant Crash Protection","toc_doc":"Future air bags designed to create less risk of serious injuries for small women and young children, etc.","toc_subject":"Motor vehicle safety standards:","topics":["Imports","Motor vehicle safety","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Tires"],"type":"Rule","volume":69}
