[Docket No. NHTSA-2009-0120; Notice 1]

Requirements and Procedures for Consumer Assistance To Recycle
and Save Program
AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This proposed rule would amend the regulations implementing
the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save (CARS) program, published

change would allow disposal facilities an additional 90 days, for a
total of 270 days, to crush or shred a vehicle traded in under the CARS
program. This additional time would allow the public to benefit from
the availability of lower cost used vehicle parts from vehicles traded
in under the CARS program and would provide disposal facilities with an
opportunity to derive more revenue from those vehicles prior to
crushing or shredding.
