Title: Consolidated Labeling 

Requirements for 49 CFR part 541 and 

Procedures for Selecting Lines to be 

Covered by the Theft Prevention 

Standard for 49 CFR part 542. 

OMB Control Number: 2127–0539. 

Type of Request: Reinstatement of a 

previously approved information 

collection. 

Type of Review Requested: Regular. 

Length of Approval Requested: Three 

years. 

Summary of the Collection of 

Information: 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331 

requires the Secretary of Transportation, 

and NHTSA by delegation, to 

promulgate a theft prevention standard 

to provide for the identification of 

certain motor vehicles and their major 

replacement parts (parts-marking) to 

impede motor vehicle theft. NHTSA’s 

theft prevention standard at 49 CFR part 

541 specifies performance requirements 

for identifying numbers or symbols 

(generally the vehicle identification 

number (VIN)) to be placed on major 

parts of all passenger vehicles subject to 

the theft prevention standard. In 1984, 

Congress enacted the Motor Vehicle 

Theft Law Enforcement Act (The Theft 

Act) directing NHTSA to issue a theft 

prevention standard requiring vehicle 

manufacturers to mark the major parts 

of high-theft lines of passenger motor 

vehicles. (Pub. L. 98–547.) In 1992, 

Congress enacted the Anti Car Theft Act 

(Pub. L. 102–519, codified at 49 U.S.C. 

chapter 331), which expanded the partsmarking requirement to include 

multipurpose passenger vehicles and 

certain light duty trucks. In a final rule 

published on April 6, 2004 (69 FR 

17960), the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft 

Prevention Standard was extended to 

include all passenger cars and, 

multipurpose passenger vehicles with a 

gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 

6,000 pounds or less, all light-duty 

trucks (LDTs) determined to be hightheft (with a gross vehicle weight rating 

of 6,000 pounds or less) and all lowtheft LDTs with major parts that are 

interchangeable with a majority of the 

covered major parts of those passenger 

motor vehicle lines subject to the theft 

prevention standard. The five 

information collections are: (1) The 

requirement to mark major parts of 

covered motor vehicles; (2) the 

requirement to submit to NHTSA target 

areas showing where the parts will be 

marked; (3) the requirement that 

manufacturers maintain the designated 

target areas for the duration of the 

production of the vehicle line; (4) the 

requirement for manufacturers of new 

LDT lines to submit information to 

NHTSA to allow the agency to 

determine whether the LDT line will be 

required to comply with the partsmarking requirements because it is 

likely to be a high theft line; and (5) the 

requirement for manufacturers of new 

LDT lines to submit information to 

NHTSA to allow the agency to 

determine the LDT will be required to 

comply with the parts-marking 

requirements because it contains major 

parts that are interchangeable with the 

majority of the covered major parts of 

passenger motor vehicles covered by the 

standard. Each of the information 

collections are describe in more detail 

below. 

49 CFR Part 541—Federal Motor 

Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard: The 

Theft Act requires specified parts of 

high-theft vehicles to be marked with 

vehicle identification numbers (partsmarking). Part 541 specifies 

performance requirements for 

identifying numbers or symbols to be 

placed on major parts of certain 

passenger motor vehicles to reduce the 

incidence of motor vehicle thefts 

through tracing and recovery of parts 

from stolen vehicles. All passenger cars 

and multipurpose passenger vehicles 

with a gross vehicle weight rating of 

6,000 pounds or less, and light duty 

trucks with major parts that are 

interchangeable with the majority of the 

covered major parts of passenger motor 

vehicles covered by the standard are 

required to be parts-marked. Each major 

component part must be either labeled 

or affixed with the VIN and its 

replacement component part must be 

marked with the ‘‘DOT’’ symbol, the 

letter ‘‘R’’ and the manufacturers’ logo. 

For each vehicle line, manufacturers 

must inform NHTSA of the location of 

the VIN marking on each part (target 

area) and the location of the VIN 

marking for the replacement part. This 

information is publicly available to aid 

law enforcement personnel in tracing 

stolen vehicles and their parts. In 

addition, the manufacturer must 

maintain the target area designated for 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 85 / Tuesday, May 3, 2022 / Notices 26257 

a part on a vehicle line for the duration 

of the production of the vehicle line, 

unless a restyling of the part makes it no 

longer practicable to mark within the 

original target area. 

49 CFR Part 542—Procedures for 

Selecting Light Duty Truck Lines to be 

Covered by the Theft Prevention 

Standard: Manufacturers of light duty 

trucks must identify new model 

introductions that are likely to be hightheft vehicle lines as defined in 49 

U.S.C. 33104. The specific vehicle lines 

are to be selected by agreement between 

the manufacturer and the agency. 

NHTSA’s procedures for selecting hightheft vehicle lines are contained in 49 

CFR part 542. Manufacturers use the 

criteria in Appendix C of part 541 to 

evaluate new lines and determine 

whether the new line is likely to be high 

theft. Next, the manufacturers submit 

their evaluations and conclusions, 

together with the underlying factual 

information, to NHTSA at least 15 

months before introduction of the 

vehicle line into U.S. commerce. 

Description of the Need for the 

Information and Proposed Use of the 

Information 

49 CFR Part 541: The identification of 

major parts of high theft motor vehicle 

lines is designed to decrease automobile 

theft by making it more difficult for 

criminals to ‘‘chop’’ vehicles into 

component parts and then fence such 

parts. The information would aid law 

enforcement officials at all levels of 

Government in the investigation of 

‘‘chop shops’’ by creating evidence for 

prosecution of the operators for 

possession of stolen motor vehicle parts. 

Officials have great difficulty in 

establishing that particular parts in the 

possession of a ‘‘chop shop’’ are in fact 

stolen when the parts are not marked. 

Operators of both ‘‘chop shops’’ and 

auto body repair shops would avoid 

possession of parts bearing 

identification that links the parts to a 

stolen vehicle. Also, stolen parts, when 

recovered, could not easily be traced 

back to the proper owner and returned 

to the owner or insurer if the parts were 

not marked. Congress intended for 

major parts identification to decrease 

the market for stolen parts and, 

therefore, decrease the incentive for 

motor vehicle theft. 

49 CFR Part 542: Manufacturers of 

light duty trucks must identify new 

model introductions that are likely to be 

high-theft vehicle lines as defined in 49 

U.S.C. 33104. Because the specific 

vehicle lines are to be selected by 

agreement between the manufacturer 

and NHTSA, the agency could not 

perform its statutory requirement 

without the information provided by the 

manufacturers. 

60-Day Notice 

A Federal Register notice with a 60- 

day comment period soliciting public 

comments on the following information 

collection was published on January 12, 

2022 (87 FR 1833). NHTSA received no 

comments. 

Affected Public: Motor vehicle 

manufacturers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

21. 

There are approximately 21 

manufacturers that are required to 

comply with the parts marking 

requirements of part 541 each year and 

submit information on target areas to 

NHTSA. For the information collections 

contained in part 542, NHTSA estimates 

that there are currently 7 manufacturers 

of LDTs that could be subject to the 

parts-marking requirements. However, 

these manufacturers are not required to 

submit information every year. Instead, 

these manufacturers would only need to 

submit information under part 542 

before they introduce a new LDT line. 

Because NHTSA estimates that it will 

only receive one submission under 

section 542.1 and one submission under 

section 542.2 in each of the next three 

years, NHTSA estimates there will only 

be one respondent to these information 

collections annually. 

Frequency: On Occasion. 

Manufacturers comply with the partsmarking requirements when they 

manufacture new vehicles. 

Manufacturers submit new target area 

information when they introduce new 

vehicle lines or make changes to 

existing vehicle lines that require 

changes to where parts are marked. 

Manufacturers only submit information 

under part 542 when they introduce 

new LDT lines. 

Number of Responses: 1. 

For the five information collections in 

part 541 and part 542, NHTSA estimates 

the annual number of responses as 

follows: (1) 4.5 million for the partsmarking requirement; (2) 23 for 

submissions of target area information; 

(3) 23 for maintaining of target area 

information; (4) 1 for reporting on 

whether a LDT line is likely to be hightheft; and (5) 1 for reporting on whether 

a LDT line shares interchangeable parts 

with a high theft line subject to the 

parts-marking requirements. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 150,550. 

49 CFR Part 541: The agency 

estimates that, based on the most 

currently available data, there has been 

a decrease in the production of vehicles 

requiring parts-marking from 8 million 

vehicles to approximately 4.5 million 

for all manufacturers. To calculate the 

burden associated with the parts 

marking requirement, NHTSA assumes 

that manufacturers will use the least 

burdensome method for complying with 

the requirement, based on historical 

practice and the agency’s current 

understanding of how manufacturers fit 

labeling into the vehicle assembly line. 

For the antitheft requirement, the cost of 

labeling the major parts (i.e., a paper 

label with the VIN is placed on each 

major part) is less than the cost of 

stamping the VIN on each major part 

with a stamping machine. 

To meet the Theft Prevention 

Standard, the agency estimates that the 

time to number and affix the average of 

14 labels to each vehicle is 

approximately 2 minutes. If 4.5 million 

vehicles are covered, the hourly burden 

for labeling 4.5 million motor vehicles 

would be 150,000 hours (4.5 million 

cars × 2 minutes per car ÷ 60 minutes 

in an hour). 

The agency estimates that the time to 

stamp both the engine and transmission 

will take approximately 1 minute. If 4.5 

million vehicles are covered, the total 

burden for stamping is estimated to total 

75,000 hours (4.5 million cars × 1 

minute per car ÷ 60 minutes in an hour). 

Please note that in this analysis each 

vehicle would either have its major 

parts labeled or stamped, but not both. 

As discussed above, since affixing paper 

labels is estimated to be cost less for 

manufacturers, NHTSA has estimated 

the burden of the parts marking 

requirements using the estimates for 

affixing paper labels. Therefore, NHTSA 

estimates the total burden for partsmarking to be 150,000 hours annually. 

Each manufacturer of vehicles that are 

required to be parts-marked must 

submit reports of the target area 

locations for the labels or stamping. The 

target area designated for a part on a 

vehicle line shall be maintained for the 

duration of the production of the 

vehicle line, unless a restyling of the 

part makes it no longer practicable to 

mark within the original target area. If 

there is such a restyling, the vehicle 

manufacturer shall inform NHTSA of 

that fact and provide a new target area 

submission. NHTSA estimates that there 

is no additional hour burden to 

maintain the target area designation 

because maintaining the designation is 

built into the production process of a 

new vehicle line and the record of the 

target designation is kept electronically 

in the normal course of business. 

NHTSA estimates that approximately 

70 target area responses will be 

submitted to the agency in the next 

three years, or approximately 23

submissions each year. This estimate is 

based on the number of the submissions 

over the three-year period for MYs 

2019–2021. Specifically, 18, 29 and 23 

target areas were submitted for MYs 

2019, 2020 and 2021, respectively. Due 

to the decreased production of vehicles 

requiring parts-marking, the agency 

estimates on an average, there will be a 

total of 23 target areas submitted by 

approximately 21 manufacturers. The 

average time to prepare and submit the 

target areas is estimated to be 20 hours 

for each submission. The burden hour 

for submissions will be 460 hours (23 

submissions × 20 hours). 

NHTSA estimates the labor cost 

associated with this collection of 

information by (1) applying the 

appropriate average hourly labor rate 

published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), (2) dividing by 0.702 1

(70.2%), for private industry workers to 

obtain the total cost of compensation, 

and (3) multiplying by the estimated 

burden hours for each respondent type. 

NHTSA estimates the labor costs 

associated with preparing and affixing 

labels to 14 major parts under § 541.5(a) 

using the average wage for 

manufacturers and assemblers in the 

motor vehicle manufacturing industry 

(Standard Occupational Classification 

#51–2000), which BLS estimates to be 

$23.18 2 per hour. Using this estimate, 

NHTSA estimates the total 

compensation costs per hour to be 

$33.02 per hour ($23.18 per hour ÷ 

0.702). The labor cost per vehicle is 

estimated to be $1.10 ($33.02 × 2 

minutes/60), and the total labor cost for 

preparing and affixing labels to the 

estimated 4.5 million vehicles each year 

is estimated to be $4,953,000 ($1.10 × 

4.5 million vehicles). 

NHTSA estimates the labor costs 

associated with developing and 

submitting reports of the target area 

locations for labels or stamping under 

§ 541.5(e) using the average wage for 

compliance officers in the motor vehicle 

manufacturing industry (Standard 

Occupational Classification #13–1041), 

which BLS estimates to be $42.30 3 per 

hour. Using this estimate, NHTSA 

estimates the total compensation costs 

per hour to be $60.26 per hour ($42.30 

per hour ÷ 0.702). The labor cost to 

prepare each report submitted under 

§ 541.5(e) is estimated to be $1,205.20 

($60.26 × 20 hours per submission), and 

the total labor cost for the estimated 23 

target area reports that will be submitted 

each year is estimated to be $27,720 

($1,205.20 × 23 reports, rounded). 

NHTSA estimates that Part 541 will 

impose an annual reporting burden of 

150,460 burden-hours, and the total 

estimated labor costs associated with 

these burden hours endured by the 

responding manufacturers are 

$4,977,720 ($4,950,000 + $27,720). 

49 CFR Part 542: Currently there are 

seven manufacturers who produce LDTs 

that could be subject to the partsmarking requirements. While NHTSA 

estimates that all seven are still active 

in the U.S. market, only manufacturers 

that introduce new LDT lines would be 

required to report to NHTSA under 49 

CFR 542.1 and 49 CFR 542.2. On 

average, NHTSA estimates that 

approximately that one LDT line will be 

introduced each year for which the 

manufacturer will need to submit 

information under § 542.1 and one LDT 

line will be introduced for which the 

manufacturer will need to submit 

information under § 541.2. 

Section 542.1 specifies procedures for 

motor vehicle manufacturers and the 

agency to follow in the determination of 

new LDT lines that are likely to have a 

theft rate above or below the median 

theft rate of 3.5826. This section also 

provides the manufacturers with notice 

of their rights and responsibilities 

during the selection and appeals 

process. On average, NHTSA estimates 

that there will be approximately one 

manufacturer submittal a year. NHTSA 

further estimates that the burden for 

each § 542.1 submittal is approximately 

45 hours. Therefore, the total annual 

burden for § 542.1 submittals is 

estimated to be 45 hours. 

Section 542.2 specifies procedures for 

motor vehicle manufacturers and 

NHTSA to follow in the determination 

of new LTD lines that will likely have 

a low theft rate and have major parts 

interchangeable with a majority of the 

major parts of a passenger motor vehicle 

line subject to the parts-marking 

requirements. This section also provides 

the manufacturers with notice of their 

rights and responsibilities during the 

selection and appeal process. On 

average, NHTSA estimates that there 

will be approximately one manufacturer 

submittal a year. NHTSA further 

estimates that the burden for each 

§ 542.2 submittal is approximately 45 

hours. Therefore, the total annual 

burden for § 542.2 submittals is 

estimated to be 45 hours. 

NHTSA estimates the labor cost 

associated with this collection of 

information by (1) applying the 

appropriate average hourly labor rate 

published by the Bureau of Labor 

Statistics (BLS), (2) dividing by 0.702 4

(70.2%), for private industry workers to 

obtain the total cost of compensation, 

and (3) multiplying by the estimated 

burden hours for each respondent type.

Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden: 

$24,003,000. 

49 CFR Part 541: NHTSA assumes 

that most manufacturers will use the 

less expensive method of labeling the 

major parts on vehicles, and not stamp 

the VINs onto major parts, based on 

historical practice and the agency’s 

current understanding of how 

manufacturers fit labeling into the 

vehicle assembly line. The cost of this 

collection of information will comprise 

of printing costs for the labels affixed to 

the vehicle parts. There are no 

additional costs to maintain the target 

area designation because maintaining 

the designation is built into the 

production process of a new vehicle line 

and the record of the target designation 

is kept electronically in the normal 

course of business. NHTSA estimates 

that the average cost to print each label 

is $0.381. There are an average 14 parts 

per vehicle to label; therefore, the 

printing cost per vehicle is $5.33. At 

present, the agency estimates that 4.5 

million motor vehicles annually must 

have their major parts marked. The total 

annual costs are estimated to be $ 

24,003,000 for label identifiers ($5.33 × 

4.5 million vehicles).
