National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA, often pronounced "nit-suh") is a U.S. Government agency, part of the Department of Transportation, responsible for setting safety standards and verifying compliance by automobile manufacturers. In 1966, Congress held a series of highly publicized hearings regarding highway safety, and passed legislation to make installation of seat belts mandatory, and created several predacessor agencies which would eventually become the NHTSA, including the National Traffic Safety Agency, the National Highway Safety Agency, and the National Highway Safety Bureau. The NHTSA was officially established in 1970 by the Highway Safety Act of 1970. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Highway_Traffic_Safety_Administration   (954 words)

FR Doc 02-28682 Most important, the agency was persuaded, for the reasons explained below, that there are technical difficulties and safety concerns associated with placement of the full TIN on both sidewalls of the tire and the reordering of the TIN which were proposed to aid consumers in determining whether their tires are subject to a recall. NHTSA agrees with the participants' judgment that the icon will attract the driver's attention and will aid the driver in recognizing that the placard and label contain tire safety information. NHTSA, in viewing a uniform location of the placard and label as a preeminent concern, has re-examined the labels, and the proposed vehicle locations for the labels, and agrees that there would be issues at some locations about the sufficiency of the space for the placement of the labels of the proposed specifications. a257.g.akamaitech.net /7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2002/02-28682.htm   (17038 words)

Comments of Consumers Union to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Tires NHTSA and RMA data indicate that load is less influential than speed and inflation pressure in causing failures, leading CU to conclude that the load differences between the RMA and proposed 139 test are a non-issue. NHTSA proposes to pass the tire if there is no visual sign of tire failure and the tire pressure is the same as the initial test pressure. NHTSA argues that the slightly lower test load will not affect the outcome of the failures based on RMA and their own research data. www.consumersunion.org /products/tires.htm   (3096 words)

National Policy Analysis #465: Rolling Over the Facts on SUV Safety And 59 percent of those killed in SUV rollover accidents, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, likely would have survived had they been wearing seatbelts. Viewed in their totality, the facts indicate that SUVs are more than reasonably safe; indeed, when driven responsibly, their overall safety is demonstrably superior to that of the typical compact and mid-sized passenger car. People who insist on driving their SUVs at 80 mph and weaving through dense traffic - then taking off-ramps posted at 35 mph at 50 mph - are going to get into trouble no matter what the federal government forces the automakers to do. www.nationalcenter.org /NPA465.html   (1296 words)

National Safety Council - Making Our World a Safer Place The National Safety Council enthusiastically supports the president’s nomination of Nicole Nason, assistant secretary for governmental affairs in the U.S. Department of Transportation, as administrator for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The physician-led traffic safety advocacy group called End Needless Death on Our Roadways (END), and the National Safety Council announced their annual list of the fifteen deadliest states in the country for impaired driving and reported that thirteen states have made the dubious list for two years straight. The National Safety Council and Rain-X® team up for the "Seemore Safety Campaign." The campaign will raise awareness of the importance of driving visibility, especially in hazardous weather conditions and will remind motorists to change their wiper blades, at least once a year. www.nsc.org   (688 words)

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration This rulemaking responds to the Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation Act of 2000, which directed NHTSA to initiate a rulemaking proceeding by November 1, 2001, for the purpose of improving the safety of child restraints. NHTSA is planning on withdrawing the proposal because it is being addressed through the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). NHTSA also will conduct a study comparing the tire pressures of vehicles without any TPMS to the pressures of vehicles with TPMSs. regs.dot.gov /rulemakings/200212/nhtsa.htm   (1214 words)

International Injury & Fatality Statistics The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that SUVs are four times more likely to roll over than passenger cars in high-speed maneuvers. Highway crashes cause 94 percent of all transportation fatalities and 99 percent of all transportation injuries, yet traffic safety programs receive only one percent of the funding of the U.S. DOT budget. In motorized traffic the highest-risk group was motorcyclists, with a death rate ten times higher than for car occupants, and an injury rate six times higher than that of car occupants. www.safecarguide.com /exp/statistics/statistics.htm   (1657 words)

Letter dated 09/26/03 - Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration - In Support of Petition for Reconsideration - Denman Tire Corporation; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Fire Excluding the tires will not create a safety risk, since (1) there is no indication that limited production specialty radial tires are any less safe than specialty bias ply tires,(5) (2) the tires are not produced for use on new light vehicles, and (3) the tires are not driven significantly on the highway. Advocacy recommends that NHTSA exclude limited production specialty radial tires from the rule, when the number of highway miles driven per year is minimal and when the size and design produced are less than 15,000 tires per year.

Consumers Union Comments To National Highway Traffic Safety Administration On Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards Tire Identification And Recordkeeping Consumer Information Regulations We believe that NHTSA's efforts to make information on the tires themselves more comprehensible to consumers, while directing consumers to the placards on their vehicles for additional important tire information, will improve public understanding of the range of tire-related safety issues, including vehicle load limits and proper inflation pressure. We believe that the public's appreciation for the importance of tires as an integral component of vehicle handling and vehicle safety was heightened as a result of the Firestone tire recall last year. Currently a number of tire types, including All-Season, All-Terrain, Highway, Winter and others are available for passenger vehicles, yet are identified only at the tire manufacturer's discretion, either in marketing information or by some indication in the tire name (AS, A/S, Touring). www.consumersunion.org /products/nhtsadc101.htm   (1991 words)

Ward's Auto World: Tinkerers be damned - National Highway Traffic Safety Administration air-bag de-powerment proposals - Editorial The only way to meet National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) passive-restraint standards narrowed down to air bags, and automakers began phasing in driver-side bags in 1994 and incorporating passenger-side bags as they developed new models or revamped older ones. Now NHTSA proposes changing the rules by de-powering the bags some 20% to 35% and permitting dealers to disconnect the bags if owners will sign liability waivers.
