Title: Make Inoperative Exemptions 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend CFR title 49 - part 595 Exemptions from the Make Inoperative Prohibition, subpart C - Vehicle Modifications to Accommodate People with Disabilities as a result of recent changes to requirements contained in FMVSS No. 214, Side Impact Protection. Specifically, changes have occurred in the moving deformable barrier and vehicle-to-pole requirements. Additionally, it would amend 595.7 because references to certain related sections in 49 CFR 571 are now incorrect due to updating of the corresponding standards over the years. These exemptions apply to certain sections of several Federal motor vehicle safety standards, under limited circumstances, when vehicles are to be used by persons with disabilities. There is no safety related cost or benefit associated with this rulemaking.
