## Abstract

This document amends an exemption from the odometer disclosure requirements for vehicles ``ten years old or older'' to clarify that the term ``years'' refers to ``model years.'' 49 CFR 580.17(a)(3). The rule also amends the exemption by including a formula for calculating the most recent model year to which the exemption applies. The agency is taking this action following its consideration of comments received from the public on the interim final rule that was published in the Federal Register on September 11, 1997. 62 FR 47763, Sept. 11, 1997. This document is published as a final rule to be effective on its publication in the Federal Register.
