NHTSA Identifies Best Practices Regarding Confidentiality Provisions in Settlement Agreements and Protective Orders

On March 11, 2016, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a final enforcement bulletin that set forth “Recommended Best Practices for Protective Orders and Settlement Agreements in Civil Litigation.” In the Agency’s view, restrictions imposed in protective orders and settlement agreements are limiting its access to “critical safety information.” Although federal law may require members of the industry to report this information, in NHTSA’s experience, they do not always do so, or do so timely. And according to the Agency, access to critical safety information identified or discovered in private litigation is essential to enable NHTSA to protect public safety. As a result, the guidance “communicates the Agency’s position that confidentiality provisions should not be used to prevent safety-related information from reaching NHTSA.”
