Abstract: Commercial entities who modify vehicles after the first retail sale and who wish to use the exemptions offered under 49 CFR Part 595 Subpart C – Vehicle Modifications to Accommodate People with Disabilities are required to submit information to NHTSA. They are required to provide a document stating the name and address of the business and a prescribed statement that they modify vehicle for persons with disabilities and intend to avail themselves of the exemptions. The registration involves a one-time submission, in the form of a business letter. Any changes in that information must be conveyed to the agency within 30 days. This information will be used by the agency to track entities involved in vehicle modification for persons with disabilities and is available to the public on the NHTSA web site. Modifiers must also provide customer whose vehicle modification involves the use of the make inoperative exemptions with a list of the exemptions used in the process of modifying that vehicle. The simplest form of this document is an annotated invoice. No specific or special forms are required. A copy of this document must be retained by the modifier for five years. This document will be used by the consumer to understand the modifications made to the vehicle and their effect on vehicle safety. It may be used by NHTSA in the event of an inquiry about the safety of the firm’s vehicles. There is an adjustment in the number of respondents from 700 to 900, resulting in an burden hour increase from 1152 hours to 1475 hours.
