[Docket No. 74-40; Notice 9]


Insurance Cost Information Regulation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of text and data for 1997 Insurance Cost Information 
Booklet.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice provides the 1997 text and data that new car 
dealers must include in an insurance cost information booklet that they 
must make available to prospective purchasers, pursuant to 49 CFR 
582.4. This information may assist prospective purchasers in comparing 
differences in passenger vehicle collision loss experience that could 
affect auto insurance costs.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Orron Kee, Office of Market 
Incentives, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street S.W., Washington, DC 20590 (202-
366-4936).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to section 201(e) of the Motor 
Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act, 15 U.S.C. 1941(e), on March 
5, 1993, 58 FR 12545, the National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) amended 49 CFR Part 582, Insurance Cost 
Information Regulation, to require dealers of new automobiles to 
distribute to prospective customers information that compares 
differences in insurance costs of different makes and models of 
passenger cars based on differences in damage susceptibility. On March 
17, 1994, NHTSA denied a petition submitted by the National Automobile 
Dealers Association (NADA) for NHTSA to reconsider Part 582 insofar as 
it requires new automobile dealers to prepare the requisite number of 
copies for distribution of the insurance cost information to 
prospective purchasers. 59 FR 13630. On March 24, 1995, NHTSA published 
a Final Rule to amend Part 582 in a number of respects. 60 FR 15509.
    Pursuant to 49 CFR Sec. 582.4, new automobile dealers are required 
to make available to prospective purchasers booklets that include this 
comparative information as well as certain mandatory explanatory text 
that is set out in section 582.5. Early each year, NHTSA publishes 
updated annual data in the Notices section of the Federal Register. 
Booklets reflecting the updated data must be available for distribution 
to prospective purchasers without charge within 30 days from the date 
of publication of the data in the Federal Register.
    NHTSA has mailed a sample copy of the 1997 booklet to each dealer 
on the mailing list that the Department of Energy uses to distribute 
the ``Gas Mileage Guide.'' Dealers will have the responsibility of 
reproducing a sufficient number of copies of the booklet to assure that 
they are available for retention by prospective purchasers by April 7, 
1997. Dealers who do not receive a copy of the booklet within 15 days 
of the date of this notice should contact Mr. Orron Kee of NHTSA's 
Office of Planning and Consumer Programs ((202) 366-0846) to receive a 
copy of the booklet and to be added to the mailing list.
    The required text and data are as follows:
FEBRUARY 1997
COMPARISON OF DIFFERENCES IN INSURANCE COSTS FOR PASSENGER CARS, 
STATION WAGONS/PASSENGER VANS, PICKUPS AND UTILITY VEHICLES ON THE 
BASIS OF DAMAGE SUSCEPTIBILITY
    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has 
provided the information in this booklet in compliance with Federal law 
as an aid to consumers considering the purchase of a new car. The 
booklet compares differences in insurance costs for different makes and 
models of passenger cars, station wagons/passenger vans, pickups, and 
utility vehicles on the basis of damage susceptibility. However, it 
does not indicate a vehicle's relative safety.
    The following table contains the best available information 
regarding the effect of damage susceptibility on auto insurance 
premiums. It was taken from data compiled by the Highway Loss Data 
Institute (HLDI) in its December 1996 Insurance Collision Report, and 
reflects the collision loss experience of passenger cars, utility 
vehicles, light trucks, and vans sold in the United States in terms of 
the average loss payment per insured vehicle year for model years 1994-
1996. NHTSA has not verified the data in this table.
    The table presents vehicles' collision loss experience in relative 
terms, with 100 representing the average for all passenger vehicles. 
Thus, a rating of 122 reflects a collision loss experience that is 22 
percent higher (worse) than average while a rating of 96 reflects a 
collision loss experience that is 4 per cent lower (better) than 
average. The table is not relevant for models that have been 
substantially redesigned for 1997, and it does not include information 
about models without enough insurance claims experience.
    Although many insurance companies use the HLDI information to 
adjust the ``base rate'' for the collision portion of their auto 
insurance premiums, the amount of any such adjustment is usually small. 
It is unlikely that your total premium will vary more than ten per cent 
depending upon the collision loss experience of a particular vehicle. 
If you do not purchase collision coverage or your insurance company 
does not use the HLDI information, your premium will not vary at all in 
relation to these rankings.
    In addition, different insurance companies often charge different 
premiums for the same driver and vehicle. Therefore, you should contact 
insurance companies or their agents directly to determine the actual

[[Page 10608]]

premium that you will be charged for insuring a particular vehicle.

    Please Note: In setting auto insurance premiums, insurance 
companies mainly rely on factors that are not directly related to 
the vehicle itself (except for its value). Rather, they mainly 
consider driver characteristics (such as age, gender, marital 
status, and driving record), the geographic area in which the 
vehicle is driven, how many miles are traveled, and how the vehicle 
is used. Therefore, to obtain complete information about insurance 
premiums, you should contact insurance companies or their agents 
directly.

    Insurance companies do not generally adjust their premiums on the 
basis of data reflecting the crashworthiness of different vehicles. 
However, some companies adjust their premiums for personal injury 
protection and medical payments coverage if the insured vehicle has 
features that are likely to improve its crashworthiness, such as air 
bags and automatic seat belts.
    Test data relating to vehicle crashworthiness are available from 
NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). NCAP test results 
demonstrate relative frontal crash protection in new vehicles. 
Information on vehicles that NHTSA has tested in the NCAP program can 
be obtained by calling the agency's toll-free Auto Safety Hotline at 
(800) 424-9393. This information also is available on NHTSA's Web site 
on the internet (http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov).
