Docket No. 95-85
Abstract
In this final rule, NHTSA combines its vehicle identification number (VIN) requirements in a single regulation, Part 565. Previously, the VIN requirements were specified in two separate regulations, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 115 and Part 565. This action is part of the President's Regulatory Reinvention Initiative and seeks to make NHTSA's VIN requirements easier to understand and to apply. In accordance with Federal metrication policy, NHTSA also converts English measurements specified in Part 565 to metric measurements. NHTSA makes no substantive changes in any regulatory requirements.
