Petition for Exemption From the Vehicle Theft Protection Standard; Volkswagen of America, Inc.

Resumen

This notice grants in full the petition of Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VW) for an exemption from the parts-marking requirements of the vehicle theft protection standard for a high-theft car line whose nameplate and effective model year is confidential. This petition is granted because the agency has determined that the antitheft device to be placed on the car line as standard [[Page 18165]] equipment is likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements.
