This part sets forth requirements for insurers to report to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration information about motor vehicle thefts and recoveries, the effects of the Federal motor vehicle theft prevention standard on those thefts and recoveries, and related insurance practices.

Purpose.

The purpose of these reporting requirements in this part is to aid in implementing and evaluating the provisions of 49 U.S.C.
