a petition to modify the exemption. Part

543.7(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, Part 543.9(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 that

exemption.’’ The agency wishes to

minimize the administrative burden

with Part 543.9(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 the manufacturer 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.
