Appendix C to Part 541 - Criteria for Selecting Light Duty Truck
Lines Likely To Have High Theft Rates Scope
These criteria specify the factors the Administrator will take
into account in determining whether a new line is likely to have a
high theft rate, and, therefore, whether such line will be subject
to the requirements of this theft prevention standard.
Purpose
The purpose of these criteria is to enable the Administrator to
select, by agreement with the manufacturer, if possible, those new
lines which are likely to have high theft rates.
Application
These criteria apply to lines of passenger motor vehicles
initially introduced into commerce on or after September 1,
2006.
Methodology
These criteria will be applied to each line initially introduced
into commerce on or after September 1, 2006. The likely theft rate
for such lines will be determined in relation to the national
median theft rate for 1990 and 1991. If the line is determined to
be likely to have a theft rate above the national median, the
Administrator will select such line for coverage under this theft
prevention standard.
Criteria
1. Retail price of the vehicle line.
2. Vehicle image or marketing strategy.
3. Vehicle lines with which the new line is intended to compete,
and the theft rates of such lines.
4. Vehicle line(s), if any, which the new line is intended to
replace, and the theft rate(s) of such line(s).
5. Presence or absence of any new theft prevention devices or
systems.
6. Preliminary theft rate for the line, if it can be determined
on the basis of currently available data.
