Title: Sound for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would respond to The Pedestrian Safety Enhancement Act of 2010, which directs the Secretary of Transportation to study and establish a motor vehicle safety standard that provides for a means of alerting blind and other pedestrians of motor vehicle operation for hybrid and electric vehicles. The Preliminary Regulatory Impact Analysis contains an estimate of 2,800 fewer injured pedestrians and pedalcyclists (35 equivalent lives saved) at a total estimated cost of $23.5 million at the 3% discount rate and $22.9 million at the 7% discount rate should the requirements of the NPRM be made final.
