RIN: 2127-AJ57

Publication ID: Spring 2008

Title: Cargo Carrying Capacity of Motor Home and Travel Trailers
Abstract: This rulemaking would respond to a petition for rulemaking requesting the agency consider mandatory consumer information in the form of a label that will inform the consumer of the Cargo Carrying Capacity (CCC) of motor homes, travel trailers, and 5th wheel travel trailers. Such labeling will help the consumer make informed decisions during the purchasing process and act as a reference during cargo loading, which in turn may reduce instances of overloading and ultimately injuries and deaths resulting from crashes related to overloading. This rulemaking initially was a new proposed regulation, 49 CFR 575.102, with a RIN of 2127-AI50. However, because the agency feels that the standard would be more enforceable if it is part of the FMVSS, it is now an amendment to FMVSS 120. Before publication of the NPRM, an additional section relative to the FMVSS No. 110 tire placard/label was added.
