For each noncompliance, DJG filed an appropriate report pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, ``Defect and Noncompliance Reports.'' DJG also applied to be exempted from the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301, ``Motor Vehicle Safety,'' on the basis that the noncompliance in both situations is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
