Description: The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) received a request to extend the comment period for the
19 September 2024, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/2149) proposing a new Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard (FMVSS) to ensure passenger vehicles are designed to mitigate
the risk of serious to fatal injury in pedestrian crashes. The NPRM is based on
Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 9 on pedestrian safety, with focused
enhancements to address safety problems. The comment period for the NPRM was
scheduled to end on 18 November 2024. NHTSA is extending the comment period for
the NPRM by 30 days.
The comment period for the NPRM published on 19 September
2024, at 89 FR 27502, is extended to 18 December 2024.
