Dear Mr. Beall: This is in response to your letter of October 21, 1983 asking whethe the State of New Mexico has been authorized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to use a form of document in lieu of the federal odometer disclosure statement.; On April 9, 1982, NHTSA approved New Mexico's odometer disclosur statement for use in lieu of the federal form. Pursuant to your inquiry, however, NHTSA has found that New Mexico is not currently using the approved form. New Mexico's current Certificate of Title does not satisfy the requirements of 49 CFR 580 and, therefore, the Federal odometer disclosure statement must be used.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
