Scope
SUMMARY: This final rule denies most aspects of a petition for reconsideration of a February 27@ 2012@ final rule that expanded the applicability of the Federal motor vehicle safety standard for child restraint systems to child restraints sold for children weighing up to 36 kilograms (kg) (80 pounds (lb)). The petition stated@ among other things@ that a label that was required by the 2012 rule for certain child restraints was unclear and could be misunderstood. In response@ NHTSA is making minor adjustments to the labeling requirement to make it clearer and more readerfriendly. For a year@ manufacturers have the option of meeting the requirements of the February 27@ 2012 rule or the rule as modified today. All other requests for substantive changes to the 2012 rule are denied.
