2.The final rule revises ''Requirements for four-wheel ATVs'' to incorporate by reference the ANSI/SVIA 1 - 2023 standard, instead of the ANSI/SVIA 1 - 2017 standard. ANSI/SVIA 1 - 2023 contains requirements and test methods relating to ATVs.

3.This rule is effective on 1 January 2025, requiring that all ATVs manufactured on or after 1 January 2025 must comply with the final rule. For details, please refer to the FR notice at: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2024-01-23/pdf/2024-01309.pdf.
