PART 545—[AMENDED]
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/E7-16125 https://www.federalregister.gov/d/E7-16125
On May 19, 2005, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a final rule; response to petitions for reconsideration of a final rule published on April 6, 2004. As part of that final rule, we added a new part 545 containing the reporting requirements for the phase-in to the amendments to part 541. We inadvertently incorrectly cited some cross-references in the regulatory text of part 545. This document corrects those errors.
For technical and policy issues, you may call Deborah Mazyck, Office of International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, (Telephone: 202-366-0846) (Fax: 202-493-2990).
For legal issues, you may call Ed Glancy, Office of Chief Counsel (Telephone: 202-366-2992) (Fax: 202-366-3820).
On May 19, 2005, the agency published a final rule responding to petitions for reconsideration of an April 6, 2004, final rule extending the anti-theft parts marking requirements (part 541) to (1) All below median theft rate passenger cars and multipurpose passenger vehicles (MPVs) that have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 6,000 pounds or less, and (2) all below median theft rate light duty trucks with a GVWR of 6,000 pounds or less and major parts Start Printed Page 46176that are interchangeable with a majority of the covered major parts of passenger cars or MPVs subject to the parts marking requirements. (70 FR 28843 and 69 FR 17960) As part of the May 2005 final rule, the agency changed the effective date of the April 2004 final rule to phase-in the new requirements over a two-year period. The reporting requirements for this phase-in were found in new 49 CFR part 545. This new part contained six incomplete cross-references to the parts marking requirements in 49 CFR part 541. This notice corrects those errors.
Correcting these errors will not impose or relax any additional substantive requirements or burdens on manufacturers. Therefore, NHTSA finds for good cause that any notice and opportunity for comment on these correcting amendments are not necessary.
For the reasons set out in the preamble, NHTSA is correctly amending
