decision is made, the line must be fully

marked according to the requirements

under 49 CFR parts 541.5 and 541.6

(marking of major component parts and

replacement parts).

NHTSA notes that if VW 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

that 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.
