Final Theft Data; Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), 
Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Publication of final theft data.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document publishes the final data on thefts of model year 
(MY) 1996 passenger motor vehicles that occurred in calendar year (CY) 
1996. The final 1996 theft data indicate a decrease in the vehicle 
theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 1995. 
The final theft rate for MY 1996 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar 
year 1996 (3.28 thefts per thousand vehicles produced) decreased by 8.1 
percent from the theft rate for CY/MY 1995 vehicles (3.57 thefts per 
thousand vehicles produced). Publication of these data fulfills NHTSA's 
statutory obligation to periodically obtain accurate and timely theft 
data and publish the information for review and comment. The data were 
calculated for informational purposes only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Rosalind Proctor, Office of 
Planning and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., 
Washington, D.C. 20590. Ms. Proctor's telephone number is (202) 366-
0846. Her fax number is (202) 493-2739.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA administers a program for reducing 
motor vehicle theft. The central feature of this program is the Federal 
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR Part 541. The standard 
specifies performance requirements for inscribing and affixing vehicle 
identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and 
replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles.
    The agency is required by 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4) to periodically 
obtain, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely theft data 
and publish the data for review and comment. To fulfill this statutory 
mandate, NHTSA has published theft data annually beginning with MYs 
1983/84. Continuing to fulfill the section 33104(b)(4) mandate, this 
document reports the final theft data for CY 1996, the most recent 
calendar year for which data are available.
    In calculating the 1996 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same 
procedures it used in calculating the MY 1995 theft rates. (For 1995 
theft data calculations, see 62 FR 44416, August 21, 1997.) As in all 
previous reports, NHTSA's data were based on information provided to 
NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal 
Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives 
vehicle theft information from nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies 
and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United States. The 
NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and uninsured 
vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data sources.
    The 1996 theft rate for each vehicle line was calculated by 
dividing the number of reported thefts of MY 1996 vehicles of that line 
stolen during calendar year 1996 by the total number of vehicles in 
that line manufactured for MY 1996, as reported to the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 36479]]

    The final 1996 theft data show a decrease in the vehicle theft rate 
when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 1995. The final 
theft rate for MY 1996 passenger vehicles stolen in CY 1996 decreased 
to 3.28 thefts per thousand vehicles produced, a decrease of 8.1 
percent from the rate of 3.57 thefts per thousand vehicles experienced 
by MY 1995 vehicles in CY 1995. For MY 1996 vehicles, out of a total of 
204 vehicle lines, 71 lines had a theft rate higher than 3.5826 per 
thousand vehicles, the established median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991. 
(See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994.) Of the 71 vehicle lines with a theft 
rate higher than 3.5826, 67 are passenger car lines, 4 are multipurpose 
passenger vehicle lines, and none are light-duty truck lines.
    On Monday, February 9, 1998, NHTSA published the preliminary theft 
rates for CY 1996 passenger motor vehicles in the Federal Register (63 
FR 6603). The agency tentatively ranked each of the MY 1996 vehicle 
lines in descending order of theft rate. The public was requested to 
comment on the accuracy of the data and to provide final production 
figures for individual vehicle lines. In response to the February 1998 
notice, the agency received written comments from the Chrysler 
Corporation (Chrysler), the General Motors Corporation (GM) and 
Mercedes-Benz of North America (Mercedes). In their comments, all three 
manufacturers provided the agency with either corrected production 
figures or nameplate changes for their vehicle lines. (The written 
corrections are available at the docket number cited at the beginning 
of this notice.)
    The agency used all written comments to make the necessary 
adjustments to its data. As a result of the adjustments, the final 
theft rate and ranking of the vehicle lines changed from those 
published in the February 1998 notice.
    In its comments, Chrysler commented that the Chrysler Sebring 
Convertible and the Chrysler Sebring Coupe are completely different 
vehicles. They had been erroneously listed as one vehicle line entry 
with combined theft and production figures. In response to Chrysler's 
comment, NHTSA is making the necessary corrections to list these two 
vehicle lines as separate entries in the final theft listing. As a 
result of these corrections, the Chrysler Sebring previously ranked No. 
44 with a theft rate of 4.7341 is now listed as the Chrysler Sebring 
Convertible ranked No. 98 with a theft rate of 2.7315 and the Chrysler 
Sebring Coupe ranked No. 12 with a theft rate of 7.6859. Additionally, 
Chrysler commented that the listing erroneously omitted the Jeep 
Wrangler vehicle line. After further review of vehicle production data 
and confirmation by Chrysler, it was revealed that the Jeep Wrangler 
vehicle line was not produced for MY 1996. Therefore, the Chrysler Jeep 
Wrangler vehicle line will remain unlisted.
    Chrysler also informed the agency that the production volume for 
the Jeep Cherokee was erroneously listed. In response to this comment, 
the production volume for the Jeep Cherokee has been corrected and the 
final theft list has been revised accordingly. As a result of the 
correction, the Jeep Cherokee previously ranked No. 88 with a theft 
rate of 3.0596, remains ranked the same but now has a theft rate of 
3.0878. Chrysler also informed the agency that the production volume 
for the Dodge B1500/B2500 line was incorrect. After further analysis of 
the production volumes, it was confirmed with Chrysler that the 
production volume listed by the agency was not in error. Therefore, the 
production volume and the theft rate for this line will remain 
unchanged.
    GM informed the agency that the nameplate for the Oldsmobile 
Cutlass Ciera SL should be changed to the Oldsmobile Ciera, the 
Chevrolet Lumina APV should be changed to the Chevrolet Lumina Minivan, 
the Oldsmobile Bravada APV should be changed to the Oldsmobile Bravada, 
the Oldsmobile 88 should be changed to Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight, and the 
Oldsmobile 98 should be changed to Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. The final 
theft list has been modified to reflect these changes.
    Additionally, Mercedes informed the agency that because the 124 
line has been replaced by the 210 line, beginning with MY 1996, the 
nameplate for the 124 (E-Class) vehicle line should be changed to the 
210 (E-Class) vehicle line. The final theft list has been revised 
accordingly.
    The following list represents NHTSA's final calculation of theft 
rates for all 1996 passenger motor vehicle lines. This list is intended 
to inform the public of calendar year 1996 motor vehicle thefts of 
model year 1996 vehicles and does not have any effect on the 
obligations of regulated parties under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331, Theft 
Prevention.
