Petition for Exemption from the Federal Motor Vehicle Motor Theft Prevention Standard; Mazda

Короткий зміст

This document grants in full the petition of Mazda Motor Corporation, (Mazda) for an exemption of a high-theft line, the Mazda 6, from the parts-marking requirements of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard. The Mazda 6 vehicle line will replace the current 626 line. 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. Mazda requested confidential treatment for some of the information submitted in support of its petition. In a letter to Mazda dated January 24, 2002 and April 4, 2002, the agency addressed its request for confidential treatment.
