Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Child Restraint Systems;
Denial of Petition for Rulemaking National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Denial of petition for rulemaking.
AGENCY:

This document denies a petition for rulemaking from Jewkes Biomechanics Jewkes requesting that NHTSA amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard FMVSS No. 213, Child restraint systems, to remove a requirement that child restraint systems CRSs must meet performance requirements without use of a top tether, or exclude from that requirement a new kind of CRS that the petitioner would like to develop called a hybrid CRS. Alternatively, the petitioner requests that the definition of a harness in FMVSS No. 213 be amended to include its hybrid CRS.
NHTSA is denying the petition because the requested amendments would unreasonably reduce the child occupant protection provided by FMVSS No. 213.

I. Background FMVSS No. 213 specifies performance and other requirements for child restraint systems to reduce the number of children killed or injured in motor vehicle crashes.1 Under FMVSS No.
213, child restraint systems are devices, except vehicle lap or lap/
shoulder belts, designed for use in a motor vehicle to restrain, seat, or position children weighing 36 kilograms 80 pounds or less. S5b requires each child restraint system to meet the requirements of the standard when tested in accordance with S6.1 and S5.
Among other tests is a dynamic frontal sled test involving a 48-kilometer per hour km/h 30-mile per hour mph velocity change. NHTSA dynamically tests CRSs with anthropomorphic test devices test dummies of sizes representing the children for whom the CRS is designed.
S6.1 specifies the conditions and procedures for the dynamic sled test.
Under S6.1.2a1B, NHTSA may test a CRS without a top tether attached.2
1 49 CFR 571.213, Child restraint systems. All references to subparagraphs in this denial of the petition for rulemaking are to FMVSS No. 213
unless otherwise noted. All references in this document to the requirements in FMVSS No. 213
are to the requirements for add-on portable CRSs as opposed to built-in CRSs. See S4 of 49
CFR 571.213 for definitions of these terms. NHTSA
published a notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM
on November 2, 2020 proposing updates to FMVSS
No. 213, including updating the standard seat assembly used to test CRSs in NHTSAs compliance tests 85 FR 69388.
