Title: Consolidated Labeling 

Requirements for 49 CFR parts Vehicle 

Identification Number (VIN) 

Requirements, and 567 Certification. 

OMB Number: 2127–0510. 

Type of Request: Extension of a 

Currently Approved Collection. 

Abstract: 

Part 565 

The regulations in part 565 specify 

the format, contents, and physical 

requirements for a vehicle identification 

number (VIN) system and its installation 

to simplify vehicle identification 

information retrieval and to increase the 

accuracy and efficiency of vehicle recall 

campaigns. The regulations require each 

vehicle manufactured in one stage to 

have a VIN that is assigned by the 

vehicle’s manufacturer. Each vehicle 

manufactured in more than one stage is 

to have a VIN assigned by the 

incomplete vehicle manufacturer. Each 

VIN must consist of 17 characters, 

including a check digit, in the ninth 

position, whose purpose is to verify the 

accuracy of any VIN transcription. The 

VIN must also incorporate the world 

manufacturer identifier or WMI 

assigned to the manufacturer by the 

competent authority in the country 

where the manufacturer is located. The 

WMI occupies the first three characters 

of the VIN for manufacturers that 

produce 1,000 or more vehicles of a 

specified type within a model year, and 

positions 1, 2, 3, 12, 13, and 14 of VINs 

assigned by manufacturers that produce 

less than 1,000 vehicles of a specified 

type per model year. The remaining 

characters of the VIN describe various 

vehicle attributes, such as make, model, 

and type, which vary depending on the 

vehicle’s type classification (i.e. 

passenger car, multipurpose passenger 

vehicle, truck, bus, trailer, motorcycle, 

low-speed vehicle), and identify the 

vehicle’s model year, plant code, and 

sequential production number. NHTSA 

has contracted with SAE International 

of Warrendale, Pennsylvania, to 

coordinate the assignment of WMIs to 

manufacturers in the United States. 

Each manufacturer of vehicles subject to 

the requirements of part 565 must 

submit, either directly or through an 

agent, the unique identifier for each 

make and type of vehicle it 

manufactures at least 60 days before 

affixing the first VIN using the 

identifier. Manufacturers are also 

required to submit to NHTSA 

information necessary to decipher the 

characters contained in their VINs, 

including amendments to that 

information, at least 60 days prior to 

offering for sale the first vehicle 

identified by a VIN containing that 

information or if information 

concerning vehicle characteristics 

sufficient to specify the VIN code is 

unavailable to the manufacturer by that 

date, then within one week after that 

information first becomes available. 

Part 567 

The regulations in part 567 specify 

the content and location of, and other 

requirements for, the certification label 

to be affixed to a motor vehicle, as 

required by the National Traffic and 

Motor Vehicle Safety Act, as amended 

(the Vehicle Safety Act) (49 U.S.C. 

30115) and the Motor Vehicle 

Information and Cost Savings Act, as 

amended (the Cost Savings Act) (49 

U.S.C. 30254 and 33109), to address 

certification-related duties and 

liabilities, and to provide the consumer 

with information to assist him or her in 

determining which of the Federal Motor 

Vehicle Safety Standards (as found in 49 

CFR part 571), Bumper Standards (as 

found in 49 CFR part 581, and Federal 

Theft Prevention Standards (as found in 

49 CFR part 541) are applicable to the 

vehicle. The regulations pertain to 

manufacturers of motor vehicles to 

which one or more standards are 

applicable, including persons who alter 

such vehicles prior to their first retail 

sale, and to Registered Importers of 

vehicles not originally manufactured to 

comply with all applicable Federal 

motor vehicle safety standards that are 

determined eligible for importation by 

NHTSA, based on the vehicles’ 

capability of being modified to conform 

to those standards. The regulations 

require each manufacturer to affix to 

each vehicle, in a prescribed location, a

label that, among other things, identifies 

the vehicle’s manufacturer (defined as 

the person who actually assembles the 

vehicle), the vehicle’s date of 

manufacture, and the statement that the 

vehicle complies with all applicable 

Federal motor vehicle safety standards 

and, where applicable, Bumper and 

Theft Prevention Standards in effect on 

the date of manufacture. The label must 

also include the vehicle’s gross vehicle 

and gross axle weight ratings (GVWR 

and GAWRs), vehicle identification 

number, and vehicle type classification 

(i.e., passenger car, multipurpose 

passenger vehicle, truck, bus, trailer, 

motorcycle, low-speed vehicle). The 

regulations specify other labelling 

requirements for incomplete vehicle, 

intermediate, and final-stage 

manufacturers of vehicles built in two 

or more stages, such as commercial 

trucks that are built by adding work 

performing components, such as a cargo 

box or cement mixer, to a previously 

manufactured chassis or chassis-cab, 

and to persons who alter previously 

certified vehicles, other than by the 

addition, substitution, or removal of 

readily attachable components such as 

mirrors or tire and rim assemblies, or 

minor finishing operation such as 

painting, before the first purchase of the 

vehicle for purposes other than resale. 

Affected Public: Motor vehicle 

manufacturers, including incomplete 

vehicle manufacturers and intermediate 

and final-stage manufacturers of 

vehicles built in two or more stages, 

vehicle alterers, and Registered 

Importers of motor vehicles that are not 

originally manufactured to comply with 

all applicable Federal motor vehicle 

safety standards. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 542 

hours and $16,200 for supplying 

required VIN-deciphering information 

to NHTSA under part 565; 60,000 hours 

and $12,000,000 for meeting the 

labeling requirements of part 567. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 30 

days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are Invited On: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Agency, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Agency’s estimate of the burden of 

the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.
