[Federal Register Volume 60, Number 3 (Thursday, January 5, 1995)] [Notices] [Pages 1824-1828] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 95-262] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION [Docket No. 94-67; Notice 3] RIN 2127-AE92 Theft Data; Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Department of Transportation. ACTION: Publication of final theft data; correction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This document corrects the final data on thefts of model year 1992 passenger motor vehicles that occurred in calendar year 1992. The corrections are based on information provided by vehicle manufacturers. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Barbara A. Gray, Office of Market Incentives, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590. Ms. Gray's telephone number is (202) 366-1740. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 8, 1994, NHTSA published the preliminary theft rates for calendar year 1992 passenger motor vehicles in the Federal Register (59 FR 40409). The public was asked to comment on the accuracy of the data and to provide final production figures for individual vehicle lines. NHTSA officials took the precaution of contacting individual manufacturers by telephone, asking them to submit in writing any necessary corrections of the preliminary data. Ten manufacturers provided written corrections. Using all written comments to make necessary corrections to the data, NHTSA published on November 29, 1994 (59 FR 61023) the final data on passenger motor vehicle thefts that occurred in calendar year (CY) 1992. Subsequently, in a letter dated December 7, 1994, Toyota informed this agency that: ``Although we had been given the opportunity to comment on the preliminary theft data . . . we failed to do so.'' With the letter, Toyota provided final production figures, as they were reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for 14 model year (MY) 1992 Toyota passenger motor vehicle lines. In addition, Toyota informed the agency that the MY 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser, a multipurpose passenger vehicle, was not subject to coverage under 49 U.S.C. chapter 331 Theft Prevention because the Land Cruiser's gross vehicle weight rating exceeded the statutory limitation of not more than 6,000 pounds. In response to Toyota's letter, NHTSA is making the necessary corrections to the final theft data. NHTSA took into account all of Toyota's corrections. As a result of the adjustments, the Toyota Land Cruiser, previously ranked No. 6 was removed, reducing the number of vehicle lines listed for CY 1992 from 215 to 214. Changes to the remaining 14 Toyota lines were: the Toyota 4-Runner, previously ranked No. 15 with a theft rate of 10.1542, is now ranked No. 16, with a theft ranking of 9.7346; the Toyota Supra, previously ranked No. 60 with a theft rate of 5.5556, is now ranked No. 56 with a theft rate of 5.7937; and the Toyota MR2, previously ranked No. 66, with a theft rate of 5.2381, is now ranked No. 63 with a theft rate of 5.3619. The Toyota Corolla/Corolla Sport, previously ranked No. 72, with a theft rate of 5.1778, is now ranked No. 74 with a theft rate of 5.0594; the Toyota Cressida, previously ranked No. 87, with a theft rate of 4.4737, is now ranked No. 86 with a theft rate of 4.5057; the Toyota Celica, previously ranked No. 99 with a theft rate of 3.8929, is now ranked No. 142 with a theft rate of 2.3936; the Toyota Paseo, previously ranked No. 107, with a theft rate of 3.7162, is now ranked No. 103, with a theft rate of 3.7430; and the Toyota Tercel, previously ranked No. 121, with a theft rate of 3.1452, is now ranked No. 118, with a theft rate of 3.1411. The Toyota Camry, previously ranked No. 133 with a theft rate of 2.6462, is now ranked No. 130, with a theft rate of 2.6455; the Toyota Lexus SC, previously ranked 137 with a theft rate of 2.5694, is now ranked No. 135 with a theft rate of 2.5445; the Toyota Lexus LS, previously ranked No. 140, with a theft rate of 2.4390, is now ranked No. 137, with a theft rate of 2.4517; the Toyota Pickup Truck, previously ranked No. 149, with a theft rate of 2.3149, is now ranked No. 141, with a theft rate of 2.4175; the Toyota Lexus ES, previously ranked No. 165, with a theft rate of 1.9067, is now ranked No. 163 with a theft rate of 1.9286; and the Toyota Previa, previously ranked No. 172, with a theft rate of 1.6972, is now ranked No. 171, with a theft rate of 1.6993. This notice also corrects the final production numbers for the Mazda Navajo. The Mazda Navajo, previously ranked No. 100 with a theft rate of [[Page 1825]] 3.8601, is now ranked No. 166 with a theft rate of 1.8474.
