49 U.S.C. § 32503 — Judicial review of bumper standards

(a) Filing and venue. Anyone who might be hurt by a standard set under section 32502 can ask for review. That person files a petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, or in the appeals court for the circuit where they live or have their main place of business. The petition must be filed within 59 days after the standard is prescribed. (b) Notifying Secretary. The court clerk immediately sends a copy of the petition to the Secretary of Transportation. The Secretary must then file with the court the full record of the proceeding that led to the standard. (c) Additional proceedings. (1) If the person who filed the petition asks, the court can order the Secretary to take in more evidence — plus evidence rebutting it — but only if the court is convinced the new evidence matters and there was a good reason it wasn't presented earlier. (2) Based on that new evidence, the Secretary may change earlier factual findings or make new ones, and must file with the court any changed or new finding, any recommendation to change or cancel the standard, and the additional evidence itself. (d) Supreme Court review and additional remedies. Only the Supreme Court can review a court's judgment under this section, under section 1254 of title 28. Any remedy available under this section comes on top of — not instead of — other remedies the law already provides.
