[Docket Number FRA–2021–0086] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance 

Under part 211 of title 49 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR), this 

document provides the public notice 

that on August 16, 2021, the Steam 

Locomotive Heritage Association 

(SLHA) petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for a waiver of 

compliance from certain provisions of 

the Federal railroad safety regulations 

contained at 49 CFR 230.16, Annual 

inspection. FRA assigned the petition 

Docket Number FRA–2021–0086. 

Specifically, SLHA requested relief 

for steam locomotive #1003, which is 

owned by 1003 Operations, LLP, and 

leased to SLHA to use for educational 

purposes. SHLA requests that #1003’s 

annual inspection be delayed from its 

current due date of October 17, 2021, to 

December 31, 2021, so SLHA can use 

#1003 in several planned events during 

the month of November. In support of 

its request, SLHA states that #1003 

would accumulate a total of 12 service 

days and 178 miles traveled since the 

previous annual inspection on October 

17, 2020.

petition, is available for review online at

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration 

Petition To Modify an Exemption of a 

Previously Approved Antitheft Device; 

Mitsubishi Motors R&D of America 

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic 

Safety Administration (NHTSA), 

Department of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Grant of petition to modify an 

exemption of a previously approved 

antitheft device. 

SUMMARY: On February 2, 2009, the 

National Highway Traffic Safety 

Administration (NHTSA) granted in full 

Mitsubishi Motors R&D (Mitsubishi) of 

America’s petition for an exemption 

from the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard (theft prevention 

standard) for its Mitsubishi Outlander 

vehicle line beginning in model year 

(MY) 2011. On November 12, 2012, the 

agency granted Mitsubishi’s first 

petition to modify its previously 

approved exemption for the Outlander 

vehicle line beginning with MY 2014. 

On August 1, 2019, Mitsubishi 

submitted a second petition to modify 

its previously approved exemption for 

the Outlander vehicle line beginning 

with MY 2022. On February 17, 2021, 

Mitsubishi submitted a third petition to 

modify its previously approved 

exemption for a confidential variant of 

the Outlander vehicle line beginning 

with MY 2023. Mitsubishi also 

requested confidential treatment for 

specific information in its petition. 

Therefore, no confidential information 

provided for purposes of this notice has 

been disclosed. 

DATES: The modification granted by this 

notice is effective beginning with the 

2023 MY. 

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: On 

February 2, 2009, NHTSA published in 

the Federal Register a notice granting in 

full a petition from Mitsubishi for an 

exemption from the parts-marking 

requirements of the Theft Prevention 

Standard (49 CFR 541) for the Outlander 

vehicle line beginning with its MY 2011 

vehicles (see 74 FR 5891). Mitsubishi 

equipped the MY 2011 Outlander 

vehicles with a passive, transponderbased, electronic engine immobilizer 

device and an audible and visible alarm. 

On August 6, 2012, Mitsubishi 

submitted a petition to modify the 

previously approved exemption for the 

Outlander vehicle line. On November 

28, 2012 (see 77 FR 71030), the agency 

granted the petition for modification of 

the previously granted exemption for 

the Outlander vehicle line beginning 

with its MY 2014 vehicles. On August 

1, 2019, Mitsubishi submitted a second 

petition to modify the previously 

approved exemption for the Outlander 

vehicle line. On May 11, 2020 (see 85 

FR 27798), the agency granted the 

petition for modification of the 

previously granted exemption for the 

Outlander vehicle line beginning with 

its MY 2021 vehicles, although 

Mitsubishi later notified the agency that 

the modification would be applied 

starting with its MY 2022 vehicles. On 

February 17, 2021, Mitsubishi submitted 

a third petition to modify the previously 

approved exemption for a confidential 

variant of the Outlander vehicle line 

beginning with its MY 2023 vehicles. 

Mitsubishi’s submission is a complete 

petition, as required by 49 CFR part 

543.10(d), in that it meets the general 

requirements contained in 49 CFR part 

543.5 and the specific content 

requirements of 49 CFR part 543.6. 

Mitsubishi’s petition for modification 

provides a detailed description and 

diagram of the identity, design, and 

location of the components of the 

antitheft device proposed for 

installation beginning with the 2023 

MY. 

The details of Mitsubishi’s first three 

previously-approved antitheft devices 

are described in the February 2009, 

November 2012, and May 2020 Federal 

Register notices granting their petitions 

for exemption (see 74 FR 5891, 77 FR 

71030, and 85 FR 27798), as discussed 

above. 

In its third modification for its 2023 

vehicles, Mitsubishi stated that it will 

offer the one touch starting system (OSS 

3) as standard equipment for all 

confidential variants of the Outlander 

vehicles. The OSS 3 is a transponderbased electronic immobilizer system 

that starts the engine without using a 

mechanical key as long as the registered 

iKey Fob is located in close proximity 

to the driver. 

When the ignition switch is pushed to 

the ‘‘on’’ position, the transceiver 

module reads the specific ignition key 

code for the vehicle and transmits an 

encrypted message containing the key 

code to the electronic control unit (ECU) 

or hands free module (HFM), which 

verifies that the key is correct. The 

immobilizer then sends a separate 

encrypted start-code signal to the engine 

ECU or HFM to allow the driver to start
