Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 49 / Tuesday, March 15, 2005 / Notices
were 149 reported theft for 1997
compared to 500 reported thefts in 1995.
As part of its submission, Ford also
provided a Highway Loss Data Institute
(HLDI) Injury, Collision & Theft Losses
publication, dated September 2004,
which evaluated the 2002–2003 Ford
Thunderbird models equipped with the
SecuriLock device. On a scale where
one hundred (100) represents the
average result for all cars in each loss
category, the results as reported by HLDI
indicated an average theft loss of eightyseven convertible Thunderbirds over a
two model year period. Results are
based on the loss experience of 2001–
2003 models from their first sales
through 2004. HLDI loss results for
2001–2003 models are stated in relative
terms. Since the reintroduction of the
Ford Thunderbird equipped with the
SecuriLock anti-theft device and
Perimeter alarm system as standard
equipment, it has seen a very low theft
rate. Ford also presented information
from NHTSA’s Final Theft Data report
(69 FR 53354, September 1, 2004) on
thefts of 2002 model year passenger
motor vehicles that occurred in calendar
year 2002. The report showed the Ford
Thunderbird having only fourteen thefts
out of a production of 28,639 vehicles
for the 2002 model year, with a theft
rate of 0.4888.
Additionally, Ford stated that its
SecuriLock device has been
demonstrated to various insurance
companies, and as a result AAA
Michigan and State Farm now give an
antitheft discount for all Ford vehicles
equipped with the SecuriLock device.
On the basis of comparison, Ford has
concluded that the antitheft device
proposed for its vehicle line is no less
effective than those devices in the lines
for which NHTSA has granted full
exemptions from the parts-marking
requirements.
Based on the evidence submitted by
Ford, the agency believes that the
antitheft device for the Ford
Thunderbird vehicle line 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 (49 CFR part
541).
The agency concludes that the device
will provide the types of performance
listed in 49 CFR 543.6(a)(3): Promoting
activation; attracting attention to the
efforts of unauthorized persons to enter
or operate a vehicle by means other than
a key; preventing defeat or
circumvention of the device by
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:31 Mar 14, 2005
Jkt 205001
unauthorized persons; preventing
operation of the vehicle by
unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the
reliability and durability of the device.
As required by 49 U.S.C. 33106 and
49 CFR 543.6(a)(4) and (5), the agency
finds that Ford has provided adequate
reasons for its belief that the antitheft
device will reduce and deter theft. This
conclusion is based on the information
Ford provided about its antitheft device.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Ford Motor
Company’s petition for an exemption for
the MY 2006 Ford Thunderbird vehicle
line from the parts-marking
requirements of 49 CFR part 541.
If Ford decides not to use the
exemption for this line, it must formally
notify the agency, and, thereafter, must
fully mark the line as required by 49
CFR 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of major
component parts and replacement
parts).
NHTSA notes that if Ford wishes in
the future to modify the device on
which this exemption is based, the
company may have to submit a petition
to modify the exemption. Section
543.7(d) states that a part 543 exemption
applies only to vehicles that belong to
a line exempted under this part and
equipped with the antitheft device on
which the line’s exemption is based.
Further, § 543.9(c)(2) provides for the
submission of petitions to modify an
exemption to permit the use of an
antitheft device similar to but differing
from the one specified in that
exemption. The agency wishes to
minimize the administrative burden that
§ 543.9(c)(2) could place on exempted
vehicle manufacturers and itself. The
agency did not intend in drafting part
543 to require the submission of a
modification petition for every change
to the components or design of an
antitheft device. The significance of
many such changes could be de
minimis. Therefore, NHTSA suggests
that if the manufacturer contemplates
making any changes, the effects of
which might be characterized as de
minimis, it should consult the agency
before preparing and submitting a
petition to modify.
Authority: 49 U.S.C. 33106; delegation of
authority at 49 CFR 1.50.
Issued on: March 9, 2005.
