Petition for Modification of a Previously Approved Antitheft Device; Volkswagen

In 1988, this agency granted Volkswagen of America, Inc.'s (Volkswagen) petition for exemption from the parts marking requirements of the vehicle theft prevention standard for the Audi 100 and Audi 200 lines. The lines have been redesignated for model year 1995 as, respectively, the Audi A6 and Audi S6. This notice grants Volkswagen's petition for a modification of the exemption originally granted in 1988, and modified in 1992. The agency grants this petition because it has determined, based on substantial evidence, that the modified antitheft device described in Volkswagen's petition to be placed on the car lines as standard equipment, is likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with parts marking requirements.
