and clutch is on and the key FOB is near
the engine start switch, the Key-ID is
scanned via the immobilizer antenna.
The microchip in the key transmits the
Key-ID to the BCM, beginning an
encrypted communication process. If
the Key-ID and encrypted code are
correct, the ECM will allow the engine
to keep running and the driver to
operate the vehicle. If the Key-ID and
encrypted code are not correct, the ECM
will cause the engine to shut down.
Nissan stated the proposed device is
functionally equivalent to the antitheft
device installed on the MY 2011 Nissan
Cube vehicle line, which was granted a
parts-marking exemption by the agency
on April 14, 2010 (75 FR 19458).
Nissan provided data on the
effectiveness of the antitheft device
installed on its Versa vehicle line in
support of the belief its antitheft device
will be highly effective in reducing and
deterring theft. Nissan referenced the
National Insurance Crime Bureau’s data,
which it stated showed a 70% reduction
in theft when comparing MY 1997 Ford
Mustangs (with a standard immobilizer)
to MY 1995 Ford Mustangs (without an
immobilizer). Nissan also referenced the
Highway Loss Data Institute’s data,
which reported BMW vehicles
experienced theft loss reductions
resulting in a 73% decrease in relative
claim frequency and a 78% lower
average loss payment per claim for
vehicles equipped with an immobilizer.
Additionally, Nissan stated theft rates
for its Pathfinder vehicle line
experienced reductions from MY 2000
to 2001 and subsequent years with
implementation of an engine
immobilizer device as standard
equipment. Specifically, Nissan stated
the agency’s theft rate data for MY’s
2001 through 2006 reported theft rates
of 1.9146, 1.8011, 1.1482, 0.8102,
1.7298, and 1.3474 respectively for the
Nissan Pathfinder.
Nissan compared its device to other
similar devices previously granted
exemptions by the agency. Specifically,
it referenced the agency’s grant of full
exemptions to General Motors
Corporation for its Buick Riviera and
Oldsmobile Aurora vehicle lines (58 FR
44872, August 25, 1993) and its Cadillac
Seville vehicle line (62 FR 20058, April
24, 1997) from the parts-marking
requirements of the theft prevention
standard. Nissan stated it believes since
its device is functionally equivalent to
other comparable manufacturer’s
devices that have been granted partsmarking exemptions by the agency,
along with the evidence of reduced theft
rates for vehicle lines equipped with
similar devices and advanced
technology of transponder electronic

security, the Nissan immobilizer device
will have the potential to achieve the
level of effectiveness equivalent to those
vehicles already exempted by the
agency. The agency agrees the device is
substantially similar to devices installed
on other vehicle lines for which the
agency has already granted exemptions.
Based on the supporting evidence
submitted by Nissan, the agency
believes the antitheft device for the
Versa 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 the device
will provide four of the five types of
performance listed in § 543.6(a)(3):
Promoting activation; preventing defeat
or circumvention of the device by
unauthorized persons; preventing
operation of the vehicle by
unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the
reliability and durability of the device.
Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 33106 and 49
CFR 543.7(b), the agency grants a
petition for exemption from the partsmarking requirements of Part 541 either
in whole or in part, if it determines that,
based upon substantial evidence, the
standard equipment antitheft device is
likely to be as effective in reducing and
deterring motor vehicle theft as
compliance with the parts-marking
requirements of Part 541. The agency
finds Nissan has provided adequate
reasons for its belief the antitheft device
for the Versa 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). This conclusion is based on the
information Nissan provided about its
device.
The agency notes that 49 CFR part
541, Appendix A–1, identifies those
lines that are exempted from the Theft
Prevention Standard for a given model
year. 49 CFR part 543.7(f) contains
publication requirements incident to the
disposition of all Part 543 petitions.
Advanced listing, including the release
of future product nameplates, the
beginning model year for which the
petition is granted and a general
description of the antitheft device is
necessary in order to notify law
enforcement agencies of new vehicle
lines exempted from the parts-marking
requirements of the Theft Prevention
Standard.
If Nissan decides not to use the
exemption for this line, it must formally
notify the agency. If such a decision is
made, the line must be fully marked
according to the requirements under 49
CFR parts 541.5 and 541.6 (marking of
PO 00000
Frm 00125
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
major component parts and replacement
parts).
NHTSA notes if Nissan 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. Part 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, Part
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 Part
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 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.
For the foregoing reasons, the agency
hereby grants in full Nissan’s petition
for exemption for the model year 2020
Nissan Versa vehicle line from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part
541.
Issued in Washington, DC, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR part 1.95 and 501.8.
