In light of The Cameron Gulbransen Kids Transportation Safety Act of 2007 (“K.T. Safety Act” or “the Act”) directs this agency to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 [1] “to expand the required field of view to enable the driver of a motor vehicle to detect areas behind the motor vehicle to reduce death and injury resulting from backing incidents, particularly incidents involving small children and disabled persons", NHTSA decided to create a legislative rule to solve this problem.

Answer: Legislative rules

Explanation: legislative rules impose new duties on affected parties and have the effect of law. According to the procedure/requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), a legislative rule is one adopted by government or administrative agencies that is designed to have binding legal effect on both the issuing agency and on the regulated parties and is created in concurrence with the legislature's intention. It is also known as substantive rule.
