摘要: The Administration submitted a legislative proposal in 1997 which will authorize the agency's vehicle and behavioral programs as well as address highway safety grants, plus new incentive grants. The reauthorization legislation will amend the following three major laws which have been extended through March 1998: The Motor Vehicle Act, (chapter 301 of title 49, U.S. Code) provides for the establishment and enforcement of safety standards for new motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, together with supporting research, and the operation of the National Driver Register (NDR). Discrete authorizations were subsequently established for the NDR under the National Driver Register Act of 1982. Amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act in 1991 required promulgation of a number of major vehicle safety regulations. The Highway Safety Act, (chapter 4 of title 23, U.S. Code,) provides for coordinated national highway safety grant programs to be carried out by the States (Section 402), together with supporting research, development and demonstration (Section 403) programs. Amendments in 1988 and 1991 authorized a program of impaired driving incentive grants to the States (Section 410) to reduce highway safety problems resulting from persons driving while impaired by alcohol or other drugs. The MVICS Act, (Part C of Subtitle VI of title 49, U.S. Code) provides for the establishment of low-speed collision bumper standards, consumer information activities, odometer regulations, fuel economy standards, and theft prevention standards.
