DOT/NHTSA RIN: 2127-AL56 Publication ID: Spring 2015 
Title: Response to Petition for Reconsideration of FMVSS No. 305, Electric-Powered Vehicles; Electrolyte Spillage, and Electrical Shock Protection 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would respond to a petition for reconsideration of Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) No. 305, electric-powered vehicles; electrolyte spillage, and electrical shock protection from Nissan Motor Company (Nissan) requesting the use of a megohmmeter as an alternative measurement method for the electrical isolation test procedure. The Agency previously denied a similar petition for reconsideration in this same rulemaking action for the same reason. Further, this rulemaking would adopt various technical corrections and clarifications to the regulatory text of FMVSS No. 305 that would not change the substance of the rule.
