Scope
SUMMARY:In July 2003@ the agency published a final rule updating our Federal motor vehicle safety standard on glazing materials. As part of that rulemaking@ boundaries were established for shade bands on vehicle windshields in order to limit their potential encroachment on the driver??s field of view. As part of the new shade band requirements@ the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Recommended Practice J100 (rev. June 1995)@ ????Class ??A?? Vehicle Glazing Shade Bands@???? was incorporated by reference into the standard. However@ in a July 2005 final rule responding to petitions for reconsideration of that earlier rulemaking@ the standard??s provisions related to shade bands requirements were amended@ and as a result@ a later but substantively identical version of SAE J100 (i.e.@ the November 1999 revision) was inadvertently included in the standard. The July 2005 final rule should have referenced SAE J100 (rev. June 1995)@ the document properly incorporated by reference into the safety standard. This document corrects this inconsistency resulting from administrative error.
