        <RULE_TITLE>Direct Final Rulemaking Procedures</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would establish direct final rulemaking procedures for use with regulatory changes on which no adverse comment is expected. Under these procedures, NHTSA would make regulatory changes that become effective a specified number of days after the date of publication in the Federal Register, unless NHTSA receives written adverse comment(s) or written notice of intent to submit adverse comment(s) by the date specified in the direct final rule. These new procedures would expedite the promulgation of routine and noncontroversial rules by reducing the time and resources necessary to develop, review, clear and publish separate proposed and final rules. NHTSA would not use direct final rule procedures for complex or controversial issues.]]></ABSTRACT>
