Petition To Modify an Exemption of a Previously Approved Antitheft Device; General Motors Corporation

On May 15, 1995, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) granted in full General Motors Corporation's (GM) petition for an exemption in accordance with Sec. 543.9(c)(2) of 49 CFR part 543, Exemption from the Theft Prevention Standard for the Buick Regal vehicle line (subsequently renamed LaCrosse). On July 27, 2004, the agency granted GM's first petition to modify its exemption. On September 25, 2008, GM submitted a second petition to modify its previously approved exemption for the Buick Regal/LaCrosse vehicle line beginning with model year (MY) 2010. NHTSA is granting GM's second petition to modify the exemption in full because it has determined that the modified device is also likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard.
