The consumer cost effects resulting from the implementation of FMVSS 581 was determined by a process of tear down analysis of representative vehicles bumpers for 1982, 1983 and 1984 domestic and imported vehicles. Components removed from the selected vehicles or purchased over-the-counter were used to establish the basic cost of the bumper systems produced under the 5 MPH Standard and those produced under the 2 1/2 MPH Standard. Automotive industry type manufacturing cost estimating techniques were utilized to develop the costs attributable to the systems.
