Summary: The Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) is requesting a 30-day extension of the comment period for the proposed rule requiring electronic stability control (ESC) and automatic emergency braking (AEB) on heavy vehicles. They argue that the rulemaking is technically complex and that the current proposal does not fully align with the procedural requirements set forth in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Consistent with 49 C.F.R. §§ 389.19 and 553.19, the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (“EMA”) submits this petition to request that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (“FMCSA”) (together, the “agencies”) extend the time period for comments on their joint notice of proposed rulemaking (“NPRM”) to require electronic stability control (“ESC”) and automatic emergency braking (“AEB”) systems on heavy vehicles.
