Vehicle Certification; Contents of Certification Labels for Altered Vehicles

This notice proposes to amend NHTSA's regulations on vehicle certification that specify the contents of the certification labels that vehicle alterers are required to affix to motor vehicles that they alter. The amendment would require the certification label affixed by the alterer to state that the vehicle, as altered, conforms to all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety, bumper, and theft prevention standards affected by the alteration. Under the existing regulations, the certification labels on altered vehicles need only state that the vehicles, as altered, comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety and bumper standards affected by the alteration. The proposed amendment would make the certification requirements for vehicle alterers consistent with those for vehicle manufacturers.
