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) 2002 passenger motor vehicles that occurred in calendar year (CY) 
2002. The final 2002 theft data indicate a decrease in the vehicle 
theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2002. The final

[[Page 53355]]

theft rate for MY 2002 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar year 2002 
(2.49 thefts per thousand vehicles) decreased by 23.6 percent from the 
theft rate for CY/MY 2001 (3.26 thefts per thousand vehicles) when 
compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2001. 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 
International Policy, Fuel Economy 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 2002, the most recent 
calendar year for which data are available.
    In calculating the 2002 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same 
procedures it used in calculating the MY 2001 theft rates. (For 2001 
theft data calculations, see 68 FR 54857, September 19, 2003.) 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 2002 theft rate for each vehicle line was calculated by 
dividing the number of reported thefts of MY 2002 vehicles of that line 
stolen during calendar year 2002 by the total number of vehicles in 
that line manufactured for MY 2002, as reported to the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA).
    The final 2002 theft data show a decrease in the vehicle theft rate 
when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2001. The final 
theft rate for MY 2002 passenger vehicles stolen in calendar year 2002 
decreased to 2.49 thefts per thousand vehicles produced, a decrease of 
23.6 percent from the rate of 3.26 thefts per thousand vehicles 
experienced by MY 2001 vehicles in CY 2001. For MY 2002 vehicles, out 
of a total of 225 vehicle lines, 38 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 38 vehicle lines 
with a theft rate higher than 3.5826, 34 are passenger car lines, three 
are multipurpose passenger vehicle lines, and one is a light-duty truck 
line.
    On Tuesday, April 6, 2004, NHTSA published the preliminary theft 
rates for CY 2002 passenger motor vehicles in the Federal Register (69 
FR 18010). The agency tentatively ranked each of the MY 2002 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 used written comments 
to make the necessary adjustments to its data. As a result of the 
adjustments, some of the final theft rates and rankings of vehicle 
lines changed from those published in the April 2004 notice. The agency 
received written comments from General Motors Corporation (GM) and 
Volkswagen of America, Inc. (VW).
    In its comments, GM informed the agency that the Pontiac Grand Am 
was incorrectly listed as the ``Grant Am'' and the GMC Safari Van was 
incorrectly listed as the ``Safara Van.'' The final theft data has been 
revised to reflect the correct nomenclature for the Pontiac Grand Am 
and the GMC Safari Van.
    GM also informed the agency that the production volume for the 
Chevrolet Cavalier, the Chevrolet Astro Van, and the Saturn VUE is 
incorrect. In response to this comment, the production volume for the 
Chevrolet Cavalier, the Chevrolet Astro Van, and the Saturn VUE has 
been reviewed and the final theft list has been revised to correct 
those production errors. As a result of the correction, the Chevrolet 
Cavalier previously ranked No. 30 with a theft rate of 3.9232 remains 
ranked at No. 30 with a theft rate of 3.8780. The Chevrolet Astro Van 
previously ranked No. 119 with a theft rate of 1.7072 is now ranked No. 
120 with a revised theft rate of 1.7196. The Saturn VUE previously 
ranked No. 188 with a theft rate of 0.6073 is now ranked No. 189 with a 
revised theft rate of 0.5970. Additionally, GM informed the agency that 
the production volume for the General Motors Funeral Coach/Hearse was 
listed incorrectly. As a result of the agency's review, the new 
information provided by GM resulted in no change to the ranking or 
theft rate for this line. Additionally, further analysis of the data 
revealed the Funeral Coach/Hearse is a Cadillac Funeral Coach/Hearse. 
The theft rate list has been revised to reflect the correction in its 
nomenclature.
    Further reanalysis of the theft rate data revealed that the 
Cadillac Limousine, BMW M3 and BMW M5 were erroneously omitted from the 
April 6, 2004 publication of preliminary theft data. The agency has 
corrected the final theft data to include the theft rate information 
for the Cadillac Limousine, BMW M3 and BMW M5 vehicles. As a result of 
this correction, the Cadillac Limousine is ranked No. 213 with a theft 
rate of 0.0000, the BMW M3 is ranked No. 23 with a theft rate of 4.8012 
and the BMW M5 is ranked No. 62 with a theft rate of 2.7510.
    VW also informed the agency that the production volume for the Audi 
TT/Quattro and the Bentley Arnage was listed incorrectly. As a result 
of VW's comments, the production volume for the Audi TT/Quattro and the 
Bentley Arnage have been corrected and the final theft list has been 
revised. The Audi TT/Quattro previously ranked No. 136 with a theft 
rate of 1.4268 is now ranked No. 148 with a theft rate of 1.2575. The 
Bentley Arnage previously ranked No. 220 with a theft rate of 0.0000 is 
now ranked No. 221 with the theft rate unchanged.
    VW informed the agency that the S4/Quattro ranked at No. 2 was 
incorrectly listed as the ``24/Quattro.'' Because the S4 is a model 
within the A4 vehicle line, production and theft totals have been 
combined for the A4 vehicle line and the theft data has been revised 
accordingly. The Audi A4 is now ranked No. 110 with a theft rate of 
1.8970. Additionally, because the S6 is a model within the A6 vehicle 
line, production and theft totals have been combined for the A6 vehicle 
line and the theft data has been revised accordingly. The Audi A6 
vehicle line is now ranked No. 188 with a theft rate of 0.6303.
    Further review of the final theft list revealed that the Acura 
Integra was erroneously listed. The Acura Integra was not produced in 
MY 2002. The correct name designation for the vehicle

[[Page 53356]]

previously ranked No. 87 (Integra) should be changed to the Acura RSX 
now ranked No. 88. The final theft list has been revised accordingly.
    The following list represents NHTSA's final calculation of theft 
rates for all 2002 passenger motor vehicle lines. This list is intended 
to inform the public of calendar year 2002 motor vehicle thefts of 
model year 2002 vehicles and does not have any effect on the 
obligations of regulated parties under 49 U.S.C. chapter 331, Theft 
Prevention.
