Creek and Pocono Pines, PA

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Commission, at the

request of Keymarket of NEPA, Inc.,

allots Channel 290A at Pocono Pines,

Pennsylvania, as the community’s first

local aural transmission service (RM–

8891). We also deny the proposal filed

by Victor A. Michael, Jr., requesting the

allotment of Channel 290A at Bear

Creek, PA (RM–8808). See 61 FR 43033,

August 20, 1996. Channel 290A can be

allotted to Pocono Pines in compliance

with the Commission’s minimum

distance separation requirements with a

site restriction of 13.1 kilometers (8.2

miles) northwest to avoid short-spacings

to the licensed and construction permit

sites of Station WNWK(FM), Channel

290B1, Newark, New Jersey. The

coordinates for Channel 290A Pocono

Pines are North Latitude 41–09–17 and

West Longitude 75–35–52. Since

Pocono Pines is located within 320

kilometers (200 miles) of the U.S.-

Canadian border, concurrence of the

Canadian government has been

obtained. With this action, this

proceeding is terminated.

DATES: Effective September 8, 1997. The

window period for filing applications

for Channel 290A at Pocono Pines,

Pennsylvania, will open on September

8, 1997, and close on October 9, 1997.

Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention

Standard; Final Listing of Model Year

1998 High-Theft Vehicle Lines

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule announces

NHTSA’s determination for model year
40950 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

(MY) 1998 high-theft vehicle lines that

are subject to the parts-marking

requirements of the Federal motor

vehicle theft prevention standard, and

high-theft lines that are exempted from

the parts-marking requirements because

the vehicles are equipped with antitheft

devices determined to meet certain

statutory criteria, for MY 1998, pursuant

to the statute relating to motor vehicle

theft prevention.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The amendment made

by this final rule is effective July 31,

1997.

Rosalind Proctor, Motor Vehicle Theft

Group, Office of Planning and

Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ‘‘Anti

Car Theft Act of 1992’’ amended the law

relating to the parts-marking of major

component parts on designated hightheft vehicle lines and other motor

vehicles. One amendment made by the

Anti Car Theft Act was to 49 U.S.C.

33101(10), where the definition of

‘‘passenger motor vehicle’’ now

includes a ‘‘multipurpose passenger

vehicle or light duty truck when that

vehicle or truck is rated at not more

than 6,000 pounds gross vehicle

weight.’’ Since ‘‘passenger motor

vehicle’’ was previously defined to

include passenger cars only, the effect of

the Anti Car Theft Act is that certain

multipurpose passenger vehicle (MPV)

and light-duty truck (LDT) lines may be

determined to be high-theft vehicles,

subject to the Federal motor vehicle

theft prevention standard (49 CFR part

541).

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 selected as high-theft.

Another amendment made by the

Anti Car Theft Act was to 49 U.S.C.

33103. This section required NHTSA to

promulgate a parts-marking standard

applicable to major parts installed by

manufacturers of ‘‘passenger motor

vehicles (other than light duty trucks) in

not to exceed one-half of the lines not

designated under 49 U.S.C. 33104 as

high-theft lines.’’ NHTSA published the

final rule amending 49 CFR Part 541,

which now includes the definitions of

MPV and LDT, and major component

parts. (See 59 FR 64164, December 13,

1995.)

49 U.S.C. 33104(a)(3) specifies that

NHTSA shall select high-theft vehicle

lines, with the agreement of the

manufacturer, if possible. Section

33104(d) provides that once a line has

been designated as likely high-theft, it

remains subject to the theft prevention

standard unless that line is exempted

under Section 33106. Section 33106

provides that a manufacturer may

petition to have a high-theft line

exempted from the requirements of

section 33104, if the line is equipped

with an antitheft device 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 agency annually publishes the

names of the lines which were

previously listed as high-theft, and the

lines which are being listed for the first

time and will be subject to the theft

prevention standard beginning with MY

1998. It also identifies those lines that

are exempted from the theft prevention

standard for the 1998 model year

because of standard equipment antitheft

devices.

For MY 1998, the agency selected

three new vehicle lines as likely to be

high-theft lines, in accordance with the

procedures published in 49 CFR part

542. The newly selected lines are the

Kia Motors S–II, the Subaru Forester

(MPV), and the Toyota Sienna (MPV). In

addition to these three vehicle lines, the

list of high-theft vehicle lines includes

all lines previously selected as high

theft and listed for prior model years.

On April 8, 1996, the final listing of

high-theft lines for the MY 1997 vehicle

lines was published in the Federal

Register (61 FR 15390). The final listing

identified vehicle lines that were listed

for the first time and became subject to

the theft prevention standard beginning

with the 1997 model year. However, the

agency was subsequently informed that

several of those lines are no longer being

manufactured for sale in the United

States. Therefore, the following vehicle

lines have been deleted from Appendix

A of this listing: the Chrysler Dodge

Spirit and Plymouth Acclaim, the Ford

Tempo and Mercury Topaz, the

Hyundai Excel and Scoupe, and the

Mitsubishi Pickup.

The list of lines that have been

exempted by the agency from the partsmarking requirements of Part 541

includes high-theft lines newly

exempted in full beginning with MY

1998. The two vehicle lines newly

exempted in full are the General Motors

Cadillac Seville and Pontiac Sunfire.

Furthermore, Appendix A has been

amended to reflect a name change for

the General Motors Oldsmobile Cutlass

Supreme. It has been renamed the

Oldsmobile Intrigue beginning with MY

1998.

The vehicle lines listed as being

subject to the parts-marking standard

have previously been selected as hightheft lines in accordance with the

procedures set forth in 49 CFR Part 542.

Under these procedures, manufacturers

evaluate new vehicle lines to conclude

whether those new lines are likely to be

high theft. The manufacturer submits

these evaluations and conclusions to the

agency, which makes an independent

evaluation; and, on a preliminary basis,

determines whether the new line should

be subject to the parts-marking

requirements. NHTSA informs the

manufacturer in writing of its

evaluations and determinations,

together with the factual information

considered by the agency in making

them. The manufacturer may request the

agency to reconsider the preliminary

determinations. Within 60 days of the

receipt of these requests, the agency

makes its final determination. NHTSA

informs the manufacturer by letter of

these determinations and its response to

the request for reconsideration. If there

is no request for reconsideration, the

agency’s determination becomes final 45

days after sending the letter with the

preliminary determination. Each of the

new lines on the high-theft list has been

the subject of a final determination

under either 49 U.S.C. 33103 or 33104.

Similarly, the lines listed as being

exempt from the standard have

previously been exempted in

accordance with the procedures of 49

CFR part 543 and 49 U.S.C. 33106.

Therefore, NHTSA finds for good

cause that notice and opportunity for

comment on these listings are

unnecessary. Further, public comment

on the listing of selections and

exemptions is not contemplated by 49

U.S.C. Chapter 331.

For the same reasons, since this

revised listing only informs the public

of previous agency actions and does not

impose additional obligations on any

party, NHTSA finds for good cause that

the amendment made by this notice
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 147 / Thursday, July 31, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 40951

should be effective as soon as it is

published in the Federal Register.

Regulatory Impacts

1. Costs and Other Impacts

NHTSA has analyzed this rule and

determined that it is not ‘‘significant’’

within the meaning of the Department

of Transportation’s regulatory policies

and procedures. The agency has also

considered this notice under Executive

Order 12866. As already noted, the

selections in this final rule have

previously been made in accordance

with the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 33104,

and the manufacturers of the selected

lines have already been informed that

those lines are subject to the

requirements of 49 CFR part 541 for MY

1998. Further, this listing does not

actually exempt lines from the

requirements of 49 CFR part 541; it only

informs the general public of all such

previously granted exemptions. Since

the only purpose of this final listing is

to inform the public of prior agency

actions for MY 1998, a full regulatory

evaluation has not been prepared.

2. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The agency has also considered the

effects of this listing under the

Regulatory Flexibility Act. I hereby

certify that this rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities. As

noted above, the effect of this final rule

is simply to inform the public of those

lines that are subject to the requirements

of 49 CFR part 541 for MY 1998. The

agency believes that the listing of this

information will not have any economic

impact on small entities.

3. Environmental Impacts

In accordance with the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the

agency has considered the

environmental impacts of this rule, and

determined that it will not have any

significant impact on the quality of the

human environment.

4. Federalism

This action has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles and

criteria contained in Executive Order

12612, and it has been determined that

this final rule does not have sufficient

Federalism implications to warrant the

preparation of a Federalism Assessment.

5. Civil Justice Reform

This final rule does not have a

retroactive effect. In accordance with

section 33118 when the Theft

Prevention Standard is in effect, a State

or political subdivision of a State may

not have a different motor vehicle theft

prevention standard for a motor vehicle

or major replacement part. 49 U.S.C.

33117 provides that judicial review of

this rule may be obtained pursuant to 49

U.S.C. 32909. Section 32909 does not

require submission of a petition for

reconsideration or other administrative

proceedings before parties may file suit

in court.

ACTION: Final rule; technical

amendment.

SUMMARY: This document amends

S5.8.10 to substitute S5.8.1 for its

erroneous internal reference to S5.7.1.

DATES: The amendment is effective July

31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Taylor Vinson, Office of Chief Counsel,

NHTSA (202) 366–5263.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Standard

No. 108 was amended on December 10,

1992 to add Paragraph S5.7 Conspicuity

systems, and to redesignate as S5.8

Replacement Equipment, S5.8.1, and

S5.8.2, the existing paragraphs S5.7

Replacement Equipment, S5.7.1, and

S5.7.2. (57 FR 58406).

At the time of its redesignation,

paragraph S5.7.2 specified that, unless

otherwise specified in Standard No.

108, ‘‘each lamp, reflective device, or

item of associated equipment to which

[the replacement equipment provisions

of] section S5.7.1 applies may be labeled

with the symbol DOT, which shall

constitute a certification that it

conforms to applicable Federal motor

vehicle safety standards.’’ The internal

reference to S5.7.1 should have been

changed to S5.8.1 with the

redesignations, but it was not.

A subsequent amendment to Standard

No. 108 on March 3, 1993, redesignated

S5.8.2 as S5.8.10, also without revising

the now-erroneous internal reference to

S5.7.1 (58 FR 12183).

Accordingly, it is necessary for

NHTSA to correct its oversight in the

two previous redesignations by revising

paragraph S5.8.10 to change its internal

reference to S5.7.1 to S5.8.1. Because

this is a technical amendment, prior

notice and comment upon it are not

required, and the amendment will

become effective upon publication.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 571

Buy America; Rolling Stock, Technical

Amendment

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration,

DOT.

ACTION: Technical amendment.

SUMMARY: This technical amendment

restores appendices to § 661.11 of the

agency’s Buy America regulation, which

governs procurements of rolling stock.

These appendices were inadvertently

deleted during a recent revision of the

rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 31, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rita

Daguillard, Office of the Chief Counsel,

202–366–1936.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA)

Buy America regulation, 49 CFR part

661, implements the domestic

preference provisions of 49 U.S.C.

5323(j). Under these provisions, all iron,

steel, and manufactured products

procured with FTA funds must be of

U.S. origin. Section 661.11 of the

regulation governs procurements of

rolling stock.

During a recent revision of the

regulation (61 FR 6300, February 16,

1996), Appendix A (‘‘General Waivers’’),

Appendix B (‘‘Typical Components of

Buses’’), and Appendix C (‘‘Typical

Components of Rail Rolling Stock’’)

were inadvertently deleted. Today’s

technical amendment of the regulation

restores those appendices. For the

reasons set forth above, Title 49,

Chapter VI of the Code of Federal

Regulations is amended as set forth

below:
