NMVTIS Reporting Requirements and Initial March 31, 2009 Reporting

The U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) is continuing its work to secure arrangements necessary to allow reporting to the National Motor Vehicle Titling Information System (“NMVTIS”) by automotive recyclers. Through this involvement, the DOJ is aware of the difficulties encountered by automotive recyclers regarding both obtaining third-party data consolidators and to finalizing the technical specifications required for this reporting to occur electronically. As a result, automotive recyclers are concerned about their inability, even at this late date, to be able to provide electronic reports to NMVTIS consistent with the March 31, 2009, reporting date.

The DOJ will continue to work cooperatively with ARA and the automotive recycling industry to help us satisfy our industry’s reporting requirements under the statute. The Operator of NMVTIS, which is the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), is required to have at least two third-party data consolidators under contract and ready to accept data from automotive recyclers by March 31, 2009, before any reporting will be required to be submitted. Additionally, DOJ has pledged to ensure at least one additional third-party data consolidator online as soon as possible. ARA will continue to push DOJ to have their NMVTIS system administrator provide opportunities for as many third-party data consolidators that is reasonably acceptable to help ensure a minimal cost compliance option. In addition, ARA continues to pursue efforts which may result in this service being made available at a very minimal cost to recyclers.
