Title: Remove the Sunset Date for Retrofit Air Bag On-Off Switches 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend subpart B of 49 CFR part 595, Retrofit on-off switches for air bags, by removing the sunset date to permit motor vehicle dealers and repair businesses to install retrofit air bag on-off switches for frontal air bags in vehicles owned by, or used by, persons whose request for a switch has been approved by the agency; revising the retrofit air bag on-off switch criteria; updating and revising the informational brochure and forms; incorporating the request for retrofit air bag on-off switches for emergency service vehicles as an appendix to part 595; and specifying in subpart B the process for requesting deactivation of frontal air bags in certain, limited situations, which the agency has described in previous notices, but had not previously codified.
