77224 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 216 / Thursday, November 9, 2023 / Rules and Regulations 

§ 80.971 Test of radiotelephone 

installation. 

At least once during each calendar 

day a vessel subject to this subpart must 

test communications on 156.800 MHz to 

demonstrate that the radiotelephone 

installation is in proper operating 

condition unless the normal daily use of 

the equipment demonstrates that this 

installation is in proper operating 

condition. If equipment is not in 

operating condition, the master must 

have it restored to effective operation as 

soon as possible. 

■ 14. Revise § 80.1005 to read as 

follows: 

§ 80.1005 Inspection of station. 

The bridge-to-bridge radiotelephone 

station will be inspected on vessels 

subject to regular inspections pursuant 

to the requirements of Parts II and III of 

Title III of the Communications Act, the 

Safety Convention, or subpart T of this 

part at the time of the regular 

inspection. If after such inspection, the 

Commission determines that the Bridgeto-Bridge Act, the rules of the 

Commission and the station license are 

met, an endorsement will be made on 

the appropriate document. The validity 

of the endorsement will run 

concurrently with the period of the 

regular inspection. Each vessel must 

carry a certificate with a valid 

endorsement while subject to the 

Bridge-to-Bridge Act. All other bridgeto-bridge stations will be inspected from 

time-to-time. An inspection of the 

bridge-to-bridge station on a vessel 

subject to subpart T of this part must 

normally be made at the same time as 

the inspection required under subpart T 

of this part and must be conducted by 

a technician holding one of the 

following: a General Radiotelephone 

Operator License, a GMDSS Radio 

Maintainer’s License, a Radiotelegraph 

Operator License, a Second Class 

Radiotelegraph Operator’s Certificate, or 

a First Class Radiotelegraph Operator’s 

Certificate. Additionally, the technician 

must not be the vessel’s owner, 

operator, master, or an employee of any 

of them. Ships subject to the Bridge-toBridge Act may, in lieu of an endorsed 

certificate, certify compliance in the 

station log required by section 80.409(f). 

■ 15. Amend § 80.1065 by revising 

paragraph (b) to read as follows: 

§ 80.1065 Applicability. 

* * * * * 

(b) The requirements of this subpart 

do not modify the requirements for 

ships navigated on the Great Lakes or 

small passenger boats. The requirements 

contained in subpart T of this part 

continue to apply. The requirements 

contained in part III of title III of the 

Communications Act continue to apply 

(see subpart S of this part).

49 CFR Part 541 

[Docket No. NHTSA–2023–0003] 

RIN 2127–AM59 

Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention 

Standard; Final Listing of 2021 Light 

Duty Truck Lines Subject to the 

Requirements of This Standard and 

Exempted Vehicle Lines for Model Year 

2021 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), U.S. 

Department of Transportation. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This final rule announces 

NHTSA’s determination that there are 

no new model year (MY) 2021 light duty 

truck lines subject to the parts-marking 

requirements of the Federal motor 

vehicle theft prevention standard. The 

agency determined no new models were 

high-theft or had major parts that are 

interchangeable with a majority of the 

covered major parts of passenger car or 

multipurpose passenger vehicle lines. 

This final rule also identifies those 

vehicle lines that have been granted an 

exemption from the parts-marking 

requirements because they are equipped 

with antitheft devices determined to 

meet certain criteria. Lastly, this final 

rule identifies vehicle lines that have 

not been manufactured for the United 

States market in over 5 years. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

November 9, 2023. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Carlita Ballard, Office of International 

Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer 

Programs, NHTSA, West Building, 

W43–439, NRM–310, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. Ms. 

Ballard’s phone number is (202) 366– 

5222. Her fax number is (202) 493–2990. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The theft 

prevention standard (49 CFR part 541) 

applies to (1) all passenger car lines; (2) 

all multipurpose passenger vehicle 

(MPV) lines with a gross vehicle weight 

rating (GVWR) of 6,000 pounds or less; 

(3) low-theft light-duty truck (LDT) lines 

with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less 

that have major parts that are 

interchangeable with a majority of the 

covered major parts of passenger car or 

MPV lines; and (4) high-theft LDT lines 

with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less. 

The purpose of the theft prevention 

standard is to reduce the incidence of 

motor vehicle theft by facilitating the 

tracing and recovery of parts from stolen 

vehicles. The standard seeks to facilitate 

such tracing by requiring that vehicle 

identification numbers (VINs), VIN 

derivative numbers, or other symbols be 

placed on major component vehicle 

parts. The theft prevention standard 

requires motor vehicle manufacturers to 

inscribe or affix VINs onto covered 

original equipment major component 

parts, and to inscribe or affix a symbol 

identifying the manufacturer and a 

common symbol identifying the 

replacement component parts for those 

original equipment parts, on all vehicle 

lines subject to the requirements of the 

standard. 

The statue at 49 U.S.C. 33104(d) 

provides that once a line has become 

subject to the theft prevention standard, 

the line remains subject to the 

requirements of the standard unless it is 

exempted under 49 U.S.C. 33106. 

Section 33106 provides that a 

manufacturer may petition annually to 

have one vehicle line exempted from 

the requirements of section 33104, if the 

line is equipped with an antitheft device 

meeting certain conditions as standard 

equipment. The exemption is granted if 

NHTSA determines that the antitheft 

device is likely to be as effective as 

compliance with the theft prevention 

standard in reducing and deterring 

motor vehicle thefts. 

The regulations at 49 CFR part 543 

establish the process through which 

manufacturers may seek an exemption 

from the theft prevention standard. 

Manufacturers may request an 

exemption under 49 CFR 543.6 by 

providing specific information about the 

antitheft 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,1 or 

manufacturers may request an 

exemption under a more streamlined 

process outlined in 49 CFR 543.7 if the 

vehicle line is equipped with an 

antitheft device (an ‘‘immobilizer’’) as 

standard equipment that complies with 

one of the standards specified in that 

section.2 If the exemption is sought 

under 49 CFR 543.6, NHTSA publishes 

a notice of its decision to grant or deny 

the exemption petition in the Federal 

Register and notifies the petitioner in 

writing. If the petition is sought under 

section 49 CFR 543.7, NHTSA notifies 

the petitioner in writing of the agency’s 

decision to grant or deny the exemption 

petition. 

NHTSA annually publishes the names 

of LDT lines NHTSA has determined to 

be high theft pursuant to 49 CFR part
