Dear Ms. Thornber:

You have asked if Chapter 329 of Title 49 of the United States Code, "Automobile Fuel Economy," and "Motor Vehicle and Driver Programs in Title 49, United States Code, Administered by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration," both issued in May 1995, have been amended. In the event that the documents were amended since May 1995, you request that new copies be provided. If the documents have not been amended, you ask that we provide you with any expected amendment date.

Chapter 329, "Automobile Fuel Economy," while provided to you in a separate document, is included within the document entitled "Motor Vehicle and Driver Programs in Title 49, United States Code, Administered by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration."

Both documents contain statutes administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. These statutes, which as federal laws, were created and are subject to amendment by the United States Congress conditioned upon approval by the President, have not been amended since May 1995. As any amendments to these statutes are acts of Congress rather than this agency, we cannot predict when future amendments will occur.

I hope that this is responsive to your inquiry.

Sincerely,
John Womack
Acting Chief Counsel
