Résumé

This petition is granted because the agency has determined that the antitheft device to be placed on the line as standard equipment is likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard.

In a letter to GM dated [awaiting letter granting confidentiality], the agency granted the petitioner's request for confidential treatment of most aspects of its petition.
