**(a) Provisional Notification.—** (1) The Secretary of Transportation may order a manufacturer to issue a provisional notification if a civil action about an order issued under [section 30118(b) of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section30118/b&num=0&edition=prelim) has been brought under [section 30163 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section30163&num=0&edition=prelim). The provisional notification shall contain— (A) a statement that the Secretary has decided that a defect related to motor vehicle safety or noncompliance with a motor vehicle safety standard prescribed under this chapter exists and that the manufacturer is contesting the decision in a civil action in a United States district court; (B) a clear description of the Secretary’s stated basis for the decision; (C) the Secretary’s evaluation of the risk to motor vehicle safety reasonably related to the defect or noncompliance; (D) measures the Secretary considers necessary to avoid an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety resulting from the defect or noncompliance; (E) a statement that the manufacturer will remedy the defect or noncompliance without charge under [section 30120 of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title49-section30120&num=0&edition=prelim), but that the requirement to remedy without charge is conditioned on the outcome of the civil action; and (F) other information the Secretary prescribes by regulation or includes in the order requiring the notice. (2) A notification under this subsection does not relieve a manufacturer of liability for not giving notification required by an order under [section 30118(b) of this title](https://uscod

49 U.S.C. § 30103 — Relationship to other laws

**(a) Uniformity of Regulations.—** The Secretary of Transportation may not prescribe a safety regulation related to a motor vehicle subject to subchapter I of chapter 135 of this title that differs from a motor vehicle safety standard prescribed under this chapter. However, the Secretary may prescribe, for a motor vehicle operated by a carrier subject to subchapter I of chapter 135, a safety regulation that imposes a higher standard of performance after manufacture than that required by an applicable standard in effect at the time of manufacture. **(b) Preemption.—** (1) When a motor vehicle safety standard is in effect under this chapter, a State or a political subdivision of a State may prescribe or continue in effect a standard applicable to the same aspect of performance of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment only if the standard is identical to the standard prescribed under this chapter. However, the United States Government, a State, or a political subdivision of a State may prescribe a standard for a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment obtained for its own use that imposes a higher performance requirement than that required by the otherwise applicable standard under this chapter. (2) A State may enforce a standard that is identical to a standard prescribed under this chapter. **(c) Antitrust Laws.—** This chapter does not— (1) exempt from the antitrust laws conduct that is unlawful under those laws; or (2) prohibit under the antitrust laws conduct that is lawful under those laws. **(d) Warranty Obligations and Additional Legal Rights and Remedies.—** Sections 30117(b), 30118–30121, 30166(f), and 30167(a) and (b) of this title do not establish or affect a warranty obligation under a law of the United States or a State. A remedy under those sect
