AGENCY:
This document grants in full

Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention
Standard (Theft Prevention Standard)
beginning in model year (MY) 2021. The

Company (Ford) for its Bronco Sport

beginning in MY 2021; and Volkswagen
Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) for
its ID.4 vehicle line beginning in MY
2021.
SUMMARY:

notice are effective beginning with the
2021 model year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under 49
U.S.C. chapter 331, the Secretary of
Transportation (and the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) by delegation) is required to
promulgate a theft prevention standard
to provide for the identification of
certain motor vehicles and their major
replacement parts to impede motor
vehicle theft. NHTSA promulgated
regulations at Part 541 (Theft Prevention

Standard) to require parts-marking for
specified passenger motor vehicles and
light trucks. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C.
33106, manufacturers that are subject to
the parts-marking requirements may
petition the Secretary of Transportation
for an exemption for a line of passenger
motor vehicles equipped as standard
equipment with an anti-theft device that
the Secretary decides is likely to be as
effective in reducing and deterring
motor vehicle theft as compliance with
the parts-marking requirements. In
accordance with this statute, NHTSA
promulgated 49 CFR part 543, which
establishes the process through which
manufacturers may seek an exemption
from the Theft Prevention Standard.
49 CFR 543.5 provides general
submission requirements for petitions
and states that each manufacturer may
petition NHTSA for an exemption of
one vehicle line per model year. Among
other requirements, manufacturers must
identify whether the exemption is
sought under section 543.6 or section
543.7. Under section 543.6, a
manufacturer may request an exemption
by providing specific information about
the anti-theft device, its capabilities,
and the reasons the petitioner believes
the device to be as effective at reducing
and deterring theft as compliance with
the parts-marking requirements. Section
543.7 permits a manufacturer to request
an exemption under a more streamlined
process if the vehicle line is equipped
with an anti-theft device (an
‘‘immobilizer’’) as standard equipment
that complies with one of the standards
specified in that section.
Section 543.8 establishes
requirements for processing petitions for
exemption from the Theft Prevention
Standard. As stated in section 543.8(a),
NHTSA processes any complete
exemption petition. If NHTSA receives
an incomplete petition, NHTSA will
notify the petitioner of the deficiencies.
Once NHTSA receives a complete
petition it will process it and, in
accordance with section 543.8(b), will
grant the petition 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.
Section 543.8(c) requires NHTSA to
issue its decision either to grant or to
deny an exemption petition not later
than 120 days after the date on which
a complete petition is filed. If NHTSA
does not make a decision within the
120-day period, the petition shall be
deemed to be approved and the
manufacturer shall be exempt from the
standard for the line covered by the
