National Highway Traffic Safety Administration April 27, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On April 20, 2009, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) granted in full Porsche Cars North America's (Porsche) petition for an exemption in accordance with Sec. 543.9(c)(2) of 49 CFR part 543, Exemption from the Theft Prevention Standard for the Porsche Panamera vehicle line beginning with model year (MY 2010). On February 4, 2010, Porsche submitted a petition to modify its previously approved exemption for the Porsche Panamera vehicle line beginning with model year (MY) 2012. NHTSA is granting Porsche's petition to modify the exemption in full because it has determined that the modified device is also likely to be as effective in reducing and deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts-marking requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard.
