(3) Within 90 days after its receipt of the manufacturers submission under paragraph (c)(2) of thi
8、s section, the agency independently evaluates the new light duty truck line using the cri-teria in appendix C of part 541 of this chapter and, on a preliminary basis, de-termines whether the new line should or should not be subject to 541.2 of this chapter. NHTSA informs the man-ufacturer by letter

(5) Each of the agencys preliminary determinations under paragraph (c)(3) of this section shall become final 45 days after the agency sends the letter specified in paragraph (c)(3) of this sec-tion unless a request for reconsider-ation ha

17、nd that the manufacturer identifies as likely to have a theft rate below the median theft rate; and (2) Each of those likely sub-median theft rate light duty truck lines. (c) Procedures. (1) For each light duty truck line that a manufacturer identifies under appendix C of part 541 of this chapter as
18、 having or likely to have a theft rate below the median rate, the manufacturer identifies how many and which of the major parts of that line will be interchangeable with the covered major parts of any of its passenger motor vehicle lines. (2) If the manufacturer concludes that a light duty truck lin
19、e that has or is likely to have a theft rate below the median theft rate has major parts that are interchangeable with a majority of the covered major parts of a passenger motor vehicle line, the manufacturer determines whether all the vehicles of those lines with sub-median or likely sub-median the
20、ft rates will account for more than 90 percent of the total an-nual production of all of the manufac-turers lines with those interchange-able parts. (3) The manufacturer submits its evaluations and conclusions made under paragraphs (c)(1) and (2) of this section, together with the underlying factual
21、 information, to NHTSA not less than 15 months before the date of in-troduction. During this period, the manufacturer may request a meeting with the agency to further explain the bases for its evaluations and conclu-sions. (4) Within 90 days after its receipt of the manufacturers submission under pa
