BILLING CODE 4910–81–P

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration

Petition for Modification of Exemption

From the Vehicle Theft Prevention

Standard; General Motors Corporation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic

Safety Administration (NHTSA),

Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Grant of petition for

modification of a previously approved

antitheft device.

SUMMARY: On April 9, 1991, this agency

granted in part General Motors

Corporation’s (GM) petition for

exemption from the parts-marking

requirements of the vehicle theft

prevention standard for the Buick Park

Avenue car line. This notice grants in

full GM’s petition for modification of

the previously approved antitheft device

for that line. The agency grants this

petition because it has determined,

based on substantial evidence, that the

modified antitheft device described in

GM’s petition to be placed on the car

line as standard equipment is likely to

be as effective in reducing and deterring

motor vehicle theft as compliance with

the parts-marking requirements.

DATES: The exemption granted by this

notice is effective beginning with model

year (MY) 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms.

Rosalind Proctor, Office of Planning and

Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400

Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, DC

20590. Ms. Proctor’s telephone number

is (202)366–1740. Her fax number is

(202) 493–2739.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In April

1991, NHTSA published in the Federal

Register a notice granting in part the

petition from General Motors

Corporation (GM) for an exemption from

the parts-marking requirements of the

Theft Prevention Standard (49 CFR Part

541) for the model year 1992 Buick Park

Avenue car line. (See 56 FR 14413,

April 9, 1991). The agency determined

that the PASS-Key antitheft device,

which GM intended to install on the

Buick Park Avenue car line as standard

equipment, was likely to be as effective

in reducing and deterring motor vehicle

theft as would compliance with the

parts-marking requirements of the Theft

Prevention Standard. The agency

decided based on the information

available at that time that a full

exemption was not appropriate and

granted a partial exemption, which

required that the engine and

transmission on this line continue to be

marked. The agency limited the

exemption because the antitheft device

lacked both an audible and a visual

alarm to call attention to unauthorized

entry of the vehicle. The lack of such a

warning device made the agency

uncertain whether the device would be

as effective as parts marking in deterring

theft of this vehicle.

On February 16, 1996, GM submitted

its petition for modification to its

previously approved PASS-Key antitheft

device. The petition also asked that the

line be granted a full rather than partial

exemption. GM’s submittal is

considered a complete petition, as

required by 49 CFR Part 543.9(d), in that

it meets the general requirements

contained in § 543.5 and the specific

content requirements of § 543.6. GM

requested confidential treatment for

some of the information and

attachments submitted in support of its

petition for modification. In a letter to

GM dated March 1, 1996, the agency

granted the petitioner’s request for

confidential treatment.

In its petition for MY 1992, GM

included a detailed description of the

identity, design and location of the

components of the PASS-Key antitheft

device, including diagrams of

components and their location in the

vehicle. GM described the PASS-Key

antitheft device installed as standard

equipment as passively activated. The

PASS-Key antitheft device utilizes an

ignition key, an ignition lock cylinder

and a decoder module.

GM stated that for MY 1997, the

PASS-Key III antitheft device will

utilize more advanced technology than

the PASS-Key or PASS-Key II devices.

The PASS-Key III device will add new

features and refinements to some of the

previous PASS-Key/PASS-Key II

components. As with the PASS-Key and

PASS-Key II antitheft devices, the

PASS-Key III device will remain fully

functional once the ignition has been

turned off and the key has been

removed. No operator action will be

required other than removing the key.

The PASS-Key III will also use a special

ignition key and decoder module. The

conventional mechanical key unlocks

and releases the steering wheel and

transmission lever. However, before the

vehicle can be operated, the key’s

electrical code must be sensed by the

key cylinder and properly decoded by

the decoder module.

GM stated that the transponder, now

embedded in the head of the key for the

PASS-Key III device, is stimulated by a

coil surrounding the key cylinder. The

transponder in the key then emits a

modulated signal at a specified radio

frequency. The identity of the key is an

integral and unique code within the
