13E-061 (30 Pages) - Amended 13E-061 (30 pages) - Amended 49 CFR Part 573 Noncompliance Information Report for Original Equipment Report Date: November 19, 2013 On November 1, 2013 Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. (“IMMI”) determined that a potential noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 209 exists in certain seat belt assemblies that are equipped with L9 seat belt buckles. These seat belt assemblies were sold to numerous customers as items of original equipment. IMMI is furnishing this notification to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in accordance with 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports. IMMI’s investigation is ongoing. 1. Manufacturer: Indiana Mills and Manufacturing Inc. 18881 US 31 North Westfield, IN 46074 Contact Person: Lisa Hanson Director of Corporate Quality Phone: 317‐867‐8451 Fax: 317‐896‐2142 IMMI Page | 1 13E-061 (30 pages) - Amended 2. Identification of Motor Vehicle Equipment Potentially Containing the Noncompliance Certain IMMI seat belt assemblies that are equipped with L9 end‐release seat belt buckles are potentially noncompliant with S4.3(g) of FMVSS 209. The suspect L9 buckles were produced at IMMI manufacturing facilities in Westfield, IN between August 2, 2013 and September 13, 2013, and in Saltillo, Mexico between August 8, 2013 and September 13, 2013. Seat belt assemblies, incorporating the suspect L9 buckles, were manufactured between August 2, 2013 and October 25, 2013 at IMMI’s Westfield, IN manufacturing facility and between August 8, 2013 and October 31, 2013 at IMMI’s Saltillo, Mexico facility. Basis for determining the recall population and description of how the equipment differs from similar equipment not included in the population The component of the seat belt assemblies that caused them to be noncompliant is the locking pawl (part number 916030) inside the L9 buckle. The suspect L9 buckles contain locking pawls from specific manufacturing lots. Some of the locking pawls from those lots were produced with an excessively large burr on the locking surface. The locking pawls were manufactured in the United States. The company that manufactured the locking pawls is: Mursix Corporation 2401 N Executive Park Drive Yorktown, IN 47396 (765) 282‐2221 The name, address and telephone number of each customer that purchased the suspect seat belt assemblies for use or installation as original equipment in new motor vehicles or new items of motor vehicle equipment is attached as Appendix A. Appendix A also shows the IMMI part numbers of the seat belt assemblies sold to each customer. 3. Total Number of Potentially Noncompliant Items of Equipment The total number of potentially noncompliant seat belt assemblies that are subject to FMVSS 209 is approximately 74,000. The number of such assemblies shipped to each customer is shown on the list in Appendix A. However, IMMI has been informed that some of those customers have replaced the suspect L9 buckles in assemblies in their inventories and in their vehicles before those vehicles were delivered to dealers or customers. As of the date of this report (revision 1), IMMI estimates that approximately 6,700 potentially noncompliant L9 buckles have been captured and replaced before vehicles were sold to purchasers. 4. Percentage of Items of Equipment Estimated to Contain the Noncompliance Approximately 1%. IMMI Page | 2 13E-061 (30 pages) - Amended 5. Description of the Noncompliance Certain IMMI seat belt assemblies equipped with L9 buckles do not satisfy the requirements of S4.3 (g) of FMVSS 209. When the push button on the buckle is pressed to release the latch plate for egress, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle. Under this circumstance, the partially engaged latch plate may not separate from the buckle when a force of 22N is applied. The root cause of the noncompliance is associated with the locking pawl (part number 916030) inside the L9 buckle. Some locking pawls from specific manufacturing lots were produced with an excessively large burr. The burr on the locking pawl can catch the edge of the latch plate when the button is pressed to unlatch the buckle, causing a partial engagement condition. 7. Information Considered by IMMI in Deciding That a Noncompliance Exists On October 15, 2013, IMMI received a complaint from a vehicle manufacturer indicating that inspectors in its assembly plant had encountered difficulty in releasing some seat belt assemblies equipped with L9 buckles. On October 16, 2013, IMMI personnel traveled to the customer’s assembly plant to investigate the situation. The suspect seat belt assemblies were brought to IMMI for evaluation. On October 17, 2013, IMMI personnel traveled to another vehicle assembly plant to investigate a similar complaint. Suspect seat belt assemblies from that plant were also brought to IMMI for evaluation. Beginning on October 16, 2013, IMMI Quality Assurance and Engineering personnel tested and measured the returned buckles as well as other buckles on‐hand. The results of those tests indicated that each returned buckle latched completely when the latch plate was inserted. When the push button on the buckle is pressed to release the latch while the latch plate has some lateral force applied to it, the latch plate can become partially engaged with the buckle. To better assess the issue, IMMI developed a new test fixture to apply lateral forces to the latch plate during the evaluation of partial engagement. IMMI found that some of the returned L9 buckles could be placed into a partial engagement condition using this test fixture, and that the latch plate would not separate when a 22N force was applied. On the basis of its investigation and testing, on November 1, 2013, IMMI determined that a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209 exists in some of the seat belt assemblies identified in Section 2 above. IMMI has received no report of accidents or injuries associated with this noncompliance. IMMI Page | 3 13E-061 (30 pages) - Amended 8. Remedy Program IMMI has notified all customers that received the suspect seat belt assemblies of this noncompliance decision and IMMI will work with those customers to provide replacement buckles for all vehicles that were sold with the potentially noncompliant seat belt assemblies.

This year’s Outlook for the Intercity Bus Industry report draws attention to some of the industry’s changing fundamentals while also looking at notable developments anticipated this year and beyond. Our analysis evaluates the industry in six areas: i) The status of bus travel booking through January 2021; ii) Notable marketing and service developments of 2020; iii) The decline of the national bus network sold on greyhound.com that is relied upon by travelers on thousands of routes across the U.S.

Introduction Greyhound has a strong interest in creating and maintaining successful interline relationships with coordinated rural feeder services that are meaningful for customers and make sense for both Greyhound and the rural feeder service partner. This is demonstrated by the company’s efforts in: • Helping clarify and lower Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) insurance levels for rural transportation agencies • Creating a special National Bus Traffic Association (NBTA) “sponsored transit category” with minimal costs & hassles. NBTA is a non-profit revenue clearinghouse for interlined bus operators. • Effectively working one-on-one with rural transportation agencies to help them establish feeder services Greyhound initiated a service, called the Greyhound Rural Connection Program, in the late 1980’s. The program linked over 80 rural transit agencies in 17 states and added more than 800 communities to the intercity bus network. Many of those agencies continue to provide their customers with informal access to the nearest Greyhound terminal or station even today. But those efforts were limited by: • Insufficient Federal funding and support • Lack of a flexible ticketing solution • Sophisticated fare and schedule information technology As the 5311(f) program evolved from ISTEA to SAFETEA-LU, Federal funding and guidance has improved dramatically, flexible ticketing solutions now exist, and fare and schedule information technology has seen tremendous advances --- so much so that rural feeder services can now be effectively implemented and operated in meaningful ways for the traveling public.

  • William Emanuel Nomination for Member of the National Labor Relations Board” Hearing Date: July 13, 2017
    Questions for the Record “William Emanuel Nomination for Member of the National Labor Relations Board” Hearing Date: July 13, 2017 Questions for the Record from Ranking Member Patty Murray 1. What, in your view, is the mission of the agency to which you have been nominated? To enforce the National Labor Relations Act as enacted by Congress. 2. Do you believe that the purpose of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), enforced by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB or Board), is to encourage and protect workers’ rights to organize and engage in collective bargaining with their employers? If not, please describe in detail your views on the purpose of the NLRA and the Board. As stated in Section 1 of the NLRA, one purpose is “to eliminate the causes of certain substantial obstructions to the free flow of commerce and to mitigate and eliminate these obstructions when they have occurred by encouraging the practice and procedure of collective bargaining and by promoting the exercise by workers of full freedom of association, self-organization, and designation of representatives of their own choosing, for the purpose of negotiating the terms and conditions of their employment or other mutual aid or protection.” In 1947, the NLRA was amended to add several additional purposes: (1) “to prescribe the legitimate rights of both employees and employers in their relations affecting commerce,” (2) “to provide orderly and peaceful procedures for preventing the interference by either with the legitimate rights of the other,” (3) “to protect the rights of individual employees in their relations with labor organizations whose activities affect commerce,” (4) “to define and proscribe practices on the part of labor and management which affect commerce and are inimical to the general welfare,” and (5) “to protect the rights of the public in connection with labor disputes affecting commerce.” 1 3.
