SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Title: 49 CFR part 580 Odometer Disclosure Statement. OMB Number: 2127–0047.

This disclosure is to be made on the vehicle’s title, or in the case of a vehicle that has never been titled, on a separate form.

NHTSA received comments from: South Dakota Department of Revenue & Regulation, Texas Department of Transportation Vehicle Titles and Registration, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, and Wisconsin Department of Transportation. Each commenter cites a need for the ability to disclose odometer information electronically in a paperless environment.
