Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 214; Side Impact Protection; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 305a; Electric- Powered Vehicles: Electric Powertrain Integrity; Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 307; Fuel System Integrity of Hydrogen Vehicles
*This final rule also amends FMVSS No. 305a, ''Electric-Powered Vehicles: Electric Powertrain Integrity'' (G/TBT/N/USA/2113) and FMVSS No. 307, ''Fuel System Integrity of Hydrogen Vehicles'' (G/TBT/N/USA/2114) to delete reference to sections of FMVSS No. 214 removed by this final rule. On 30 May 2025, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) (notified as G/TBT/N/USA/57/Rev.1) proposing to remove obsolete requirements from Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 214, ''Side Impact Protection.'' The agency received two comments that supported the changes to FMVSS No. 214. In addition, one of the commenters suggested amendments to remove additional obsolete regulatory text. NHTSA is adopting the proposed changes with amendments made in response to the comments. Effective Date: 6 July 2026. Petitions for Reconsideration: If you wish to petition for reconsideration of this rule, your petition must be received by 20 July 2026. 91 Federal Register (FR) 33111, 3 June 2026; Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 571: This final rule is identified by Docket Number NHTSA-2025-0038.

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) - This notice proposes to establish two new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) specifying performance requirements for all motor vehicles that use hydrogen as a fuel source. The proposed standards are based on Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 13. FMVSS No. 307, 'Fuel system integrity of hydrogen vehicles,' which would specify requirements for the integrity of the fuel system in hydrogen vehicles during normal vehicle operations and after crashes. FMVSS No. 308, 'Compressed hydrogen storage system integrity,' would specify requirements for the compressed hydrogen storage system to ensure the safe storage of hydrogen onboard vehicles. The two proposed standards would reduce deaths and injuries that could occur as a result of fires due to hydrogen fuel leakages and/or explosion of the hydrogen storage system.

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Fuel System Integrity of Hydrogen Vehicles; Compressed Hydrogen Storage System Integrity; Incorporation by Reference
This final rule establishes two new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) specifying performance requirements for all motor vehicles that use hydrogen as a fuel source. The final rule is based on Global Technical Regulation (GTR) No. 13, Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Vehicles. FMVSS No. 307, ''Fuel system integrity of hydrogen vehicles,'' specifies requirements for the integrity of the fuel system in hydrogen vehicles during normal vehicle operations and after crashes. FMVSS No. 308, ''Compressed hydrogen storage system integrity,'' specifies requirements for the compressed hydrogen storage system to ensure the safe storage of hydrogen onboard vehicles. These two standards will reduce deaths and injuries from fires due to hydrogen fuel leakages and/or explosion of the hydrogen storage system. Effective date: This final rule is effective 16 July 2025. IBR date: The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 16 July 2025.
