Proposal of additional footnotes to clarify terminology differences between the US and Europe to aid in the application of the regulation.

Proposal to correct the paragraph numbering of the original proposal for amendments to Regulation No. 54 contained in document GRRF/2017/18. The introduction of new paragraphs by Supplement 21 and the separation of paragraph 3.1. into subparagraphs 3.1.1. and 3.1.2. result in the proposed paragraph 3.1.12. being renumbered as 3.1.13.

Proposal to

1. correct the references to paragraph 3.17 in paragraph 3.1.12. to refer to 3.20
2. update a cross-reference in paragraph 3.4 to read “3.1.2.” pursuant to the earlier division of paragraph 3.1 into paragraphs 3.1.1. and 3.1.2. (consistent with UN R30)
3. delete the superfluous reference to paragraph 2.19 in paragraph. 4.1.1. (consistent with UN R30)
4. delete the word “existing” from paras. 6.1.1.2. and 6.1.2.2. (consistent with all the other tyre UN Regulations)
5. amend paragraph 6.1.4.2. to take into account the requirements for size designations in Annex 5
6. add a footnote to Annex 5, Part II, Table B to introduce the appropriate formulae in the Regulation (instead of Annex 5)
7. add a size in Annex 5, Part II, Table C for an old size that does not follow the guidelines/formulae applicable for high flotation tyres.
