Dear Mr. Kunasicwicz: Your request for information concerning the existence of penalties fo removal of the required certification label from a motor vehicle has been forwarded to us by the Federal Trade Commission.; The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act requires that certification label, which under NHTSA regulations includes the name of the manufacturer and the date of manufacture, be permanently affixed to the motor vehicle. Although removal of this label does not carry a criminal penalty of either fine or imprisonment, a civil penalty of up to $1,000 is specified in certain situations.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
