swept by the windshield wipers, or 2
not more than 175 mm 7 inches above the lower edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers, and 3 outside the drivers sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals.
Specifically, the Agency proposes to modify 393.60e1ii to increase from 100 mm 4 inches to 216 mm 8.5
inches the distance below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers within which vehicle safety technologies may be mounted. The other parameters would remain unchanged. The Agency believes the potential economic impact of these changes is negligible. The proposed amendments do not impose new or more stringent requirements, but simply codify the temporary exemptions granted pursuant to 49 CFR part 381
that allow the use of the devices/
technologies in locations that would previously have been a violation of 393.60e1. More importantly, the amendments do not mandate the use of any devices/technologies, but simply permit their voluntary use while mounted in a location that maximizes their effectiveness without impairing operational safety.

A. Purpose and Summary of the Regulatory Action
B. Costs and Benefits The Agency expects that if a final rule is adopted consistent with this NPRM, it would generate cost savings for both industry and the Federal Government by reducing the overall time burden associated with the exemption request and approval process associated with 49
U.S.C. 31315 and the implementing regulations under 49 CFR part 381. The Agency estimates this NPRM would result in total annualized cost savings of $12,184 and $10,705 at 3 percent and 7
percent discount rates, respectively.

Section 393.60e1i of the FMCSRs prohibits obstruction of the drivers field of view by devices mounted at the top of the windshield. Antennas and similar devices must not be mounted more than 152 mm 6 inches below the upper edge of the windshield, and must be outside the drivers sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals.
Section 393.60e1i does not apply to vehicle safety technologies, as defined in 393.5, that include a fleetrelated incident management system, performance or behavior management system, speed management system, forward collision warning or mitigation system, active cruise control system, and transponder. Section 393.60e1ii requires devices with vehicle safety technologies to be mounted 1 not more than 100 mm 4
inches below the upper edge of the area
