7The agency wishes to minimize the 

administrative burden that section 543.10(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 a manufacturer with an 

exemption 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. 

circumvention of the device by 

unauthorized persons; preventing 

operation of the vehicle by 

unauthorized entrants; and ensuring the 

reliability and durability of the device. 

The agency notes that 49 CFR part 

541, appendix A–1, identifies those 

lines that are exempted from the theft 

prevention standard for a given model 

year. 49 CFR 543.8(f) contains 

publication requirements incident to the 

disposition of all part 543 petitions. 

Advanced listing, including the release 

of future product nameplates, the 

beginning model year for which the 

petition is granted and a general 

description of the antitheft device is 

necessary in order to notify law 

enforcement agencies of new vehicle 

lines exempted from the parts-marking 

requirements of the theft prevention 

standard. 

If Mazda decides not to use the 

exemption for its requested vehicle line, 

the manufacturer must formally notify 

the agency. If such a decision is made, 

the line must be fully marked as 

required by 49 CFR 541.5 and 541.6 

(marking of major component parts and 

replacement parts). 

NHTSA notes that if a manufacturer 

to which an exemption has been granted 

wishes in the future to modify the 

device on which the exemption is 

based, the company may have to submit 

a petition to modify the exemption. 

Section 543.8(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, section 543.10(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 the 

exemption.’’ 7

For the foregoing reasons, the agency 

hereby announces a grant in full of 

Mazda’s petition for exemption for the 

CX–90 vehicle line from the partsmarking requirements of 49 CFR part 

541, beginning with its MY 2025 

vehicles. 

Issued under authority delegated in 49 CFR 

1.95, 501.5 and 501.8.
