the Federal motor vehicle safety

lbs).
Modifiers who take advantage of the
exemption created by this rule are
required to furnish NHTSA with a
written document providing the
modifier’s name, address, telephone

modifier is availing itself of the
exemption. The rule requires:

This document grants in full
the Porsche Cars North America, Inc.
(Porsche) petition for exemption of the
Macan 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 the 49 CFR
part 541, Federal Motor Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard.
DATES: The exemption granted by this
notice is effective beginning with the
2014 model year (MY).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a
petition dated July 25, 2013, Porsche
requested an exemption from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part
541, Federal Motor Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard for the Macan
vehicle line beginning with MY 2014.
The petition requested exemption from
parts-marking pursuant to 49 CFR part
543, Exemption From Vehicle Theft
Prevention Standard, based on the
installation of an antitheft device as
standard equipment for an entire
vehicle line.
Under § 543.5(a), a manufacturer may
petition NHTSA to grant an exemption
for one vehicle line per model year. In
its petition, Porsche provided a detailed
description and diagram of the identity,
design, and location of the components
of the antitheft device for its new
Porsche Macan vehicle line. Porsche
stated that all Porsche Macan vehicles
will be equipped with a passive
antitheft device as standard equipment
beginning with MY 2014. Key
components of the antitheft device will
include a microprocessor-based
immobilizer system, electronic ignition
switch, transponder key, remote control
unit, alarm/central locking control unit,
optional keyless entry system and
electronic parking brake. The device
will also be equipped with an audible
and visible alarm. Additionally, Porsche
stated that the central locking system
