Petition for Exemption From the Federal Motor Vehicle Motor Theft Prevention Standard; NISSAN

Résumé

This notice grants in full the petition of Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) for an exemption of a high-theft line (whose nameplate is confidential) from the parts-marking requirements of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard. 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. Nissan requested confidential treatment for its information and attachments submitted in support of its petition. In a letter to Nissan dated February 12, 1999, the agency granted the petitioner's request for confidential treatment of most aspects of its petition.
