Title: Upgrade of LATCH Usability Requirements (MAP-21) 
Abstract:

This rulemaking would amend FMVSS No. 225, Child Restraint Anchorage Systems, to improve the ease of use for lower anchorages and tether in all rear seating positions in accordance with MAP-21, address comments on LATCH usability received in response to the LATCH public meeting held on February 8, 2007, and standardize features of LATCH for enabling simple and standardized consumer messaging to facilitate increased LATCH use and correct child seat installation. This upgrade of FMVSS No. 225 is in accordance with section 6 of Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011) that urges agencies to conduct periodic retrospective evaluation of regulations and modify, streamline, expand, or repeal them in accordance with what has been learned from the evaluation.
