manufacturer that assembled gliders. This manufacturer helped the panel to understand how
this rule would impact small businesses that assemble gliders. Based in large part on this input,
the panel recommended the exemption being proposed.  The official Panel Report has been
placed into the public docket for this rulemaking.
What are the existing NHTSA requirements for gliders, and is NHTSA considering
adopting new provisions?
NHTSA does not currently consider glider kits or completed glider vehicles to be covered under
NHTSA's HD Phase 1 standards. For completed glider vehicles, NHTSA is considering adopt-
ing requirements similar to EPA's proposed regulations.  NHTSA would also consider special
provisions for small business manufacturers consistent with the initial regulatory flexibility
analysis that accompanies the rulemaking. NHTSA is not considering standards for glider kits
(as NHTSA defines them).
Are EPA and NHTSA considering other options, and how can I provide new infor-
mation to the agencies?
EPA is requesting comment on all of these proposed changes, and we may revise these provi-
sions to offer more or less flexibility in the Final Rule. NHTSA is requesting comment on its
consideration of similarly regulating completed glider vehicles, but not glider kits.  Both agen-
cies encourage commenters to provide data that would allow us to improve our proposal.  See
the notice for instructions on providing comments at:
