The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the DOT reading room
is being downsized and threatened with closure.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of the
Department of Transportation reading room located at 400 7th St. SW in
Washington, D.C. is being downsized and threatened with closure. Regular
researchers report that documents that they have used for years are
suddenly not there. They have been told that older material is being sent
to NARA storage center in Suitland even though that information is not
available on the NHTSA web site. Access at Suitland is difficult for the
public.

The reading room includes the following kinds of information in its
collection: 1) Technical Information Services (TIS) information, 2)
dockets and NHTSA comments to dockets, 3) research note books that help
users find Federal Register notices and identify dockets relevant to their
research, 4) papers from the Society of Automotive Engineers, 5) service
bulletins for vehicles, 6) NHTSA news releases, 7) motor vehicle recalls,
defects investigations, 8) NHTSA sponsored research, 9) presentations to
1988-89 series of meetings on roll over prevention and much more.
