Sec. 33107. Voluntary vehicle identification standards

    (a) Election To Inscribe or Affix Identifying Marks.--The Secretary 
of Transportation by regulation may prescribe a vehicle theft prevention 
standard under which a person may elect to inscribe or affix an 
identifying number or symbol on major parts of a motor vehicle 
manufactured or owned by the person for purposes of section 511 of title 
18 and related provisions. The standard may include provisions for 
registration of the identification with the Secretary or a person 
designated by the Secretary.
    (b) Standard Requirements.--The standard under this section shall be 
practicable and provide relevant objective criteria.
    (c) Voluntary Compliance.--Compliance with the standard under this 
section is voluntary. Failure to comply does not subject a person to a 
penalty or enforcement under this chapter.
    (d) Compliance With Other Standards.--Compliance with the standard 
under this section does not relieve a manufacturer from a requirement of 
a standard prescribed under section 33102 or 33103 of this title.
