   Engineering and  Technology had  determined that  certain 
   vehicle battery chargers manufactured  and distributed in

   with  the  technical   standards  of   Part  15   of  the 
   Commission's Rules.1  The Public Notice advised retailers 
   that continued  marketing of  the battery  chargers would

   Section 2.803(a) of the  Commission's Rules (``Rules'').3

   investigation  into  the  Vector   battery  chargers  and 
   resolves all  matters related  to  Vector's petition  for 
   reconsideration.6   In  this  Order,  we  grant  Vector's 
   motion and dismiss its petition for reconsideration.
