This final rule establishes a new Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 226, "Ejection Mitigation" to reduce the partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.  The standard applies to the side windows next to the first three rows of seats, and to a portion of the cargo area behind the first or second rows, in motor vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 4,536 kilogram (kg) or less (10,000 pounds (lb) or less).  To assess compliance, the agency is adopting a test in which an impactor is propelled from inside a test vehicle toward the windows.  The ejection mitigation safety system is required to prevent the impactor from moving more than a specified distance beyond the plane of a window.
