Title: ●New Car Assessment Program Safety Ratings Labeling 
Abstract: This rulemaking would include a new overall vehicle score that is based on the frontal crash, side crash, and rollover resistance ratings for each vehicle as part of the agency's 5-Star ratings label safety ratings that must be displayed on the Monroney label. On July 11, 2008, NHTSA published a notice announcing the enhancements to the Agency's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). This rulemaking would incorporate changes in the NCAP programs including the creation of an overall vehicle score in the vehicle safety ratings labeling program. A vehicle safety ratings labeling program was created in September 2007 as a result of a mandate in the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). This law, passed by Congress in August 2005, requires new passenger vehicles to be labeled with safety rating information published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration´s New Car Assessment Program as part of the Monroney label. NHTSA implemented this labeling program in a final rule published on September 12, 2006.
