Petition for Modification of a Previously Approved Antitheft Device; Saab

On May 8, 2002, Saab Cars, USA, Inc. (Saab) filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) asking for a third modification to an agency-approved exemption from the vehicle theft prevention standard for its 9-3 vehicle line which replaced its 900 vehicle line in MY 1999. NHTSA is granting Saab's petition for modification of its exemption from the parts-marking requirements of the vehicle theft prevention standard for its model year (MY) 2003 9-3 vehicle line because it has determined, based on substantial evidence, that the antitheft device described in Saab's petition to be placed on the vehicle line as standard equipment is likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements.
