NHTSA Safety Standards and Regulations
208 doesn't seem to apply to vehicles in the H1's weight range... This information is very hard to find.
EDIT: Upon further reading of the DOT's full version of 208, I find that vehicles over 10,000 GVWR must have seat belts... but I'm still not sure what regulations specifically apply to vehicles over 10,000 GVWR. The HI ALPHA is over 10,000 GVWR.
