Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 126 / Tuesday, July 6, 2021 / Proposed Rules TABLE 1SUMMARY OF THE IMPACTS OF THIS NPRM
Category
Summary
Applicability

Revisions to 49 CFR 393.60 to expand the area vehicle safety technologies could be installed on the interior windshield of CMVs.
Potentially, all CMVs, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5.
There would be no costs to industry or the Federal Government.
10-year: $3,992.
Annualized: $568.
10-year: $71,196.
Annualized: $10,136.
10-year: $75,189.
Annualized: $10,705.
This NPRM, if finalized, would provide a greater available area for the voluntary deployment of windshield-mounted safety technologies such as lane departure warning systems and automated emergency braking safety systems which have the potential to reduce fatalities, injuries, and property damages while maintaining a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved by the current regulation.

Benefits

Cost, Cost Savings & Benefits This NPRM proposes two changes to the Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation regulations in 49 CFR
part 393, subpart A and subpart D.
Under the existing 393.5 definitions, vehicle safety technology includes a fleet-related incident management system, performance or behavior management system, speed management system, lane departure warning system, forward collision warning or mitigation system, active cruise control system, and transponder. Under the proposed rulemaking 393.5 definitions would now also include braking warning systems, braking assist systems, automatic emergency braking, driver camera systems, attention assist warning, Global Positioning Systems and traffic sign recognition. Vehicle safety technology includes systems and devices that contain cameras, lidar, radar, sensors and/or video.
As a result of the proposed change, there would be new examples of vehicle safety technology devices and systems which would better accommodate the vehicle manufacturer advancements in the field of driver assistance technologies. The proposed change would have no cost. There would be benefits accrued through improved safety performance of CMVs via fatality, injury, and property damage prevention.
For example, lane departure warning systems are anticipated to prevent accidents involving striking a car in an adjoining lane, which could either involve sideswiping a vehicle traveling in the same direction or hitting a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction, and rollovers, which often occur when a vehicle leaves the road.
Additionally, automatic Emergency Braking systems engage dynamic brake support or crash-imminent braking to

potentially save lives and reduce moderate and less severe rear-end crashes.
With regards to the existing 393.60, e1ii, Paragraph e1i of this section does not apply to vehicle safety technologies, as defined in 393.5, that are mounted on the interior of a windshield. Devices with vehicle safety technologies must be mounted outside the drivers sight lines to the road and to highway signs and signals, and:
Not more than 100 mm 4 inches below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers.
Not more than 175 mm 7 inches above the lower edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers.
Under the proposed change to 393.60, e1ii, Paragraph e1i of this section does not apply to vehicle safety technologies, as defined in 393.5, that are mounted on the interior of a windshield. Devices with vehicle safety technologies must be mounted outside the drivers sight lines to the road and to highway signs and signals, and:
Not more than 216 mm 8.5 inches below the upper edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers; or Not more than 175 mm 7 inches above the lower edge of the area swept by the windshield wipers; and Outside the drivers sight lines to the road and highway signs and signals.
This proposed change would expand the area available for mounting vehicle safety technologies on the interior of a windshield. The proposed change would have no cost but would result in an annualized cost savings from reduced exemption application and approval process. The cost savings are estimated to be $12,184 and $10,705 at 3 percent and 7 percent discount rates.

Wage Rates For this analysis, we calculated private sector wages using 2019 wage data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics BLS Occupational Employment Statistics for the Management of Companies and Enterprises North American Industry Classification System 551100. We used median hourly wage for Standard Occupational Classification Code 11
2021Marketing Managers which is $65.79.4
We added a load factor to the industry wages for Marketing Managers using December 2019 wage and total compensation data from the BLS
Employer Costs for Employee Compensation ECEC survey, which accounts for employee benefits. This load factor represents the total benefits as a percentage of total salary.5 We multiply the median hourly wage by the load factor to get the full loaded wage of $94.74.
We utilize Federal Government employee wage rates based on the Office of Personnel Management OPM 2019

5 We calculate the load factor for wages by dividing total compensation by wages and salaries.
For this analysis, we used BLS ECEC/Management, professional, and related occupations. Using December 2019 data, we divided the total compensation amount of $60.83 by the wage and salary amount of $42.33 to get the load factor of 1.44 $60.83 divided by $42.33.
