CSX Transportation, Inc.
[Docket Number FRA–2010–0010]
The CSX Transportation, Inc. seeks
approval of the proposed modification
of the bridge tender controlled signals to
automatic signals at the Big Manatee
Drawbridge, Bradenton, Florida,
Milepost AZA 915.8, Palmetto
Subdivision, Jacksonville Division. The
modification consist of the conversion
of bridge tender controlled signals to
automatic signals.
The reason given for the proposed
change is that the drawbridge tender
position is being eliminated. Train
crews will request the bridge open and
close via DTMF radio. Signals will clear
automatically for train movements once
the bridge has been closed and locked,
and an approach circuit is occupied.
Any interested party desiring to
protest the granting of an application
shall set forth specifically the grounds
upon which the protest is made, and
include a concise statement of the
interest of the party in the proceeding.
Additionally, one copy of the protest
shall be furnished to the applicant at the
address listed above.
FRA expects to be able to determine
these matters without an oral hearing.
However, if a specific request for an oral
hearing is accompanied by a showing

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration
Petition for Exemption From the
Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention
Standard; Hyundia-Kia America
Technical Center, Inc.
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Grant of petition for exemption.
SUMMARY: This document grants in full
the Hyundai-Kia Motors Corporation
(HATCI) petition for exemption of the
Hyundai VI vehicle line in accordance
with 49 CFR part 543, Exemption from
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 partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part
541, Federal Motor Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard.
DATES: The exemption granted by this
notice is effective beginning with the
2011 Model Year (MY).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.
Carlita Ballard, International Policy,
Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs,
NHTSA, W43–439, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590.
Ms. Ballard’s phone number is (202)
366–0846. Her fax number is (202) 493–
2990.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated September 11, 2009,
Hyundai requested an exemption from
the parts-marking requirements of the
Theft Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part
541) for the Hyundai VI vehicle line,
beginning with MY 2011. The petition
requested an exemption from partsmarking requirements pursuant to 49
CFR 543, Exemption from Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard, based on the
installation of an antitheft device as
standard equipment for the entire
vehicle line.
Under Section § 543.5(a), a
manufacturer may petition NHTSA to
grant exemptions for one of its vehicle
lines per model year. Hyundai
petitioned the agency to grant an
exemption for its VI vehicle line
beginning with MY 2011. In its petition,
Hyundai provided a detailed
description and diagram of the identity,
design, and location of the components
of the antitheft device for the new
vehicle line. Hyundai will install its
passive Smart-key Immobilizer device
and alarm system (audible and visual)
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

on the VI vehicle line as standard
equipment. According to Hyundai, the
Smart-key immobilizer device allows
the driver/operator to access and
operate the vehicle by using a valid FOB
key and that no other actions by
mechanical key or a remote control unit
are necessary. Hyundai further states
that the immobilizer is automatically
activated when the electronic key code
of the FOB key is removed from the
smart-key immobilizer control unit. The
audible and visual alarm system is
automatically activated when the
electronic key code of the FOB key is
removed from the smart-key
immobilizer control unit, all vehicle
doors and the hood are closed, and all
the doors are locked. If the device is
armed and unauthorized entry is
attempted, the vehicle’s horn will sound
and the hazard lamps will flash.
Hyundai stated that its Smart-key
immobilizer device also features passive
vehicle access, trunk access and door
locking. Specifically, Hyundai stated
that if a valid FOB key is in the range
defined by this device, the device will
automatically detect and authenticate
the FOB via wireless communication
between the FOB key and the Smart-key
immobilizer unit. If communication is
authenticated, the device will allow
passive accessibility to the doors and/or
trunk, and/or passive locking of all the
doors.
In addressing the specific content
requirements of 543.6, Hyundai
provided information on the reliability
and durability of the device. Hyundai
conducted component tests and onvehicle tests for the Smart-key
immobilizer system and the alarm
system in accordance with the EEC,
UNECE, Korea standard and Hyundai
in-house standard. Specifically,
Hyundai provided approval numbers for
all tests performed
In support of its belief that its
antitheft device will be as effective as
compliance with the parts marking
requirements in reducing and deterring
vehicle theft, Hyundai referenced and
provided an April 2006 report by JP
Research, Inc., which concluded that
antitheft devices were consistently
much more effective in reducing thefts
when compared to parts marking. The
JP Research report showed that of the 24
vehicle lines studied, those with
antitheft devices installed were 70%
more effective than parts marking in
deterring theft. Hyundai also provided
theft data on other manufacturer’s
vehicle lines (Lincoln Town Car,
Chrysler Town and Country, Mazda
MX–5 Miata and Mazda 3) that have
been exempted from the theft
prevention standard. Hyundai stated
