Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 11, 2021 / Proposed Rules 1. All-Terrain Vehicles An all-terrain vehicle ATV is a motorized vehicle with three or four broad, low-pressure tires less than 10
pounds per square inch, a seat designed
to be straddled by the operator, handlebars for steering, and designed for off-highway use. Since the 1980s, the CPSC has addressed ATV safety through various activities, including rulemaking,
25819
recalls, consumer education, media outreach, and litigation. These efforts focused on stability and handling issues related to ATV overturn and collisions.
Figure 1 shows an example of an ATV.
Currently, CPSC regulates ATVs through the incorporation by reference of ANSI/SVIA 12017 Four-Wheel AllTerrain VehiclesEquipment, Configuration, and Performance Requirements as a mandatory standard 16 CFR 1420.3a.

manufacturer primarily for recreational use by one or more persons. Other characteristics of an ROV include: A
steering wheel for steering control, foot controls for throttle and braking, bench or bucket seats, rollover protective structure ROPS, restraint system, and a maximum speed greater than 30 miles per hour mph. ROVs are intended to be used on terrain similar to ATVs.
ROVs are distinguished from ATVs by the presence of a steering wheel, instead
of a handle bar for steering; bench or bucket seats for the driver and passengers, instead of straddle seating;
foot controls for throttle and braking, instead of levers located on the handle bar; and ROPS and restraint systems that are not present on ATVs. CPSC staff has worked on stability, handling, and occupant protection issues related to ROVs since 2009.2 Figure 2 shows an example of an ROV.
