[Docket No. NHTSA-01-8906; Notice 02]
RIN 2127-AI06
Final Theft Data; Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Publication of final theft data.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This document publishes the final data on thefts of model year
(MY) 1999 passenger motor vehicles that occurred in calendar year (CY)
1999. The final 1999 theft data indicate an increase in the vehicle
theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 1998.
The final theft rate for MY 1999 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar
year 1999 (2.89 thefts per thousand vehicles produced) increased by
14.2 percent from the theft rate for CY/MY 1998 vehicles (2.53 thefts
per thousand vehicles produced). Publication of these data fulfills
NHTSA's statutory obligation to periodically obtain accurate and timely
theft data and publish the information for review and comment.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Deborah Mazyck, Office of Planning
and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC
20590. Ms. Mazyck's telephone number is (202) 366-0846. Her fax number
is (202) 493-2290.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA administers a program for reducing
motor vehicle theft. The central feature of this program is the Federal
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR Part 541. The standard
specifies performance requirements for inscribing and affixing vehicle
identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and
replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles.
The agency is required by 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4) to periodically
obtain, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely theft data
and publish the data for review and comment. To fulfill this statutory
mandate, NHTSA has published theft data annually beginning with MYs
1983/84. Continuing to fulfill the Sec. 33104(b)(4) mandate, this
document reports the final theft data for CY 1999, the most recent
calendar year for which data are available.
In calculating the 1999 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same
procedures it used in calculating the MY 1998 theft rates. (For 1998
theft data calculations, see 65 FR 40721, June 30, 2000.) As in all
previous reports, NHTSA's data were based on information provided to
NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives
vehicle theft information from nearly 23,000 criminal justice agencies
and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United States. The
NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and uninsured
vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data sources.
The 1999 theft rate for each vehicle line was calculated by
dividing the number of reported thefts of MY 1999 vehicles of that line
stolen during calendar year 1999 by the total number of vehicles in
that line manufactured for MY 1999, as reported to the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA).
The final 1999 theft data show an increase in the vehicle theft
rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 1998. The
final theft rate for MY 1999 passenger vehicles stolen in CY 1999
increased to 2.89 thefts per thousand vehicles produced, an increase of
14.2 percent from the rate of 2.53 thefts per thousand vehicles
experienced by MY 1998 vehicles in CY 1998. For MY 1999 vehicles, out
of a total of 201 vehicle lines, 54 lines had a theft rate higher than
3.5826 per thousand vehicles, the established median theft rate for MYs
1990/1991. (See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994.) Of the 54 vehicle lines
with a theft rate higher than 3.5826, 50 are passenger car lines, four
are multipurpose passenger vehicle lines, and none are light-duty truck
lines.
On Wednesday, March 14, 2001, NHTSA published the preliminary theft
rates for CY 1999 passenger motor vehicles in the Federal Register (66
FR 14979). The agency tentatively ranked each of the MY 1999 vehicle
lines in descending order of theft rate. The public was requested to
comment on the accuracy of the data and to provide final production
figures for individual vehicle lines. The agency received written
comments from Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VW). The agency used VW's
written comments to make the necessary adjustments to its data. As a
[[Page 39555]]
result of the adjustments, some of the final theft rates and rankings
of vehicle lines changed from those published in the March 2001 notice.
In its comments, VW informed the agency that the production volume
for the VW Cabrio vehicle line was incorrect. In response to this
comment, the production volume for the VW Cabrio has been corrected and
the final theft list has been revised accordingly. As a result of the
correction, the VW Cabrio previously ranked No. 111 with a theft rate
of 1.8398, is now ranked No. 159 with a theft rate of 1.0181.
Additionally, VW informed the agency that the production volumes for
the Rolls Royce Silver Spur and the Rolls Royce Silver Spur Park Ward
were interchanged. In response to this comment, the production volumes
for the Rolls Royce Silver Spur and the Rolls Royce Silver Spur Park
Ward have been corrected and the final theft list has been revised
accordingly. As a result of the correction, the Rolls Royce Silver Spur
with a production volume of two has been revised to reflect a
production volume of 51, and the Rolls Royce Silver Spur Park Ward with
a production volume of 51 has been revised to reflect a production
volume of two.
The following list represents NHTSA's final calculation of theft
rates for all 1999 passenger motor vehicle lines. This list is intended
to inform the public of calendar year 1999 motor vehicle thefts of
model year 1999 vehicles and does not have any effect on the
obligations of regulated parties under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 331, Theft
Prevention.
