Correction

    In the Federal Register of May 27, 2010, in FR Doc. 2010-12809, on 
page 29814, in the first column, correct the ``Summary'' section to 
read:
SUMMARY: This document grants in full the Volkswagen Group of America 
(Volkswagen) petition for an exemption of the new vehicle line 
[confidential nameplate] in accordance with 49 CFR part 543, Exemption 
from the Theft Prevention Standard. This petition is granted because 
the agency has determined that the antitheft device to be placed on the 
line as standard equipment is likely to be as effective in reducing and 
deterring motor vehicle theft as compliance with the parts marking 
requirements of the Theft Prevention Standard (49 CFR part 541). 
Volkswagen requested confidential treatment for the information it 
submitted in support of its petition until the market introduction of 
its new MY 2012 vehicle line (expected to be not later than December 
2011). The agency addressed Volkswagen's request for confidential 
treatment by letter dated April 30, 2010.

    Issued on: June 11, 2010.
