2127-AL03 201704 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2127 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Glazing Materials, GTR (RRR)

This rulemaking proposes to amend FMVSS No. 205 by considering the adoption of a Global Technical Regulation (GTR) which contains updated performance tests for glazing materials that are composed of glass, laminated glass, or glass faced with plastic.

Those manufacturers currently testing to both standards would experience a net savings. Because we do not know how many manufacturers are testing to multiple glazing standards, we cannot directly estimate the overall economic impact of the proposal. However, we do not believe that the economic impacts of this proposal would be greater than $0.009 to $0.01 per vehicle for a new make and model based on the possible increase in testing costs of $1,900 to $2,100 divided by an average vehicle design lifetime sales of 210,000 units.
