SUMMARY: NHTSA published in the Federal Register of April 30, 2008, a 
final rule making certain changes in the 17-character vehicle 
identification number (VIN) system so that the system will remain 
viable for at least another 30 years. The regulatory text of the final 
rule contained several typographical errors, which this document 
corrects. In addition, this document makes clear that all motor 
vehicles identified by their manufacturer as model year (MY) 2009 or 
earlier vehicles must comply with the current Part 565 VIN requirements 
(which are set forth in subpart C of Part 565 of the final rule).

DATES: Effective Date: May 16, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA published a final rule in the Federal 
Register of April 30, 2008, (73 FR 23367; NHTSA Docket 2008-0022) that 
made certain changes in the 17-character vehicle identification number

manufacturer identifiers and VINs to use for at least another 30 
years.\1\ The regulatory text of the final rule contained several 
typographical errors which this document corrects. In addition, this 
document makes clear that all motor vehicles identified by their 
manufacturer as model year (MY) 2009 or earlier vehicles must comply 
with the current Part 565 VIN requirements (which are set forth in 
subpart C of Part 565 of the final rule).\2\
