Exhibit 33.1

Report on Assessment of Compliance With Applicable Servicing Criteria

for Asset-Backed Securities of Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation

Certification Regarding Compliance with Applicable Servicing Criteria

Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation (“NMAC”) is responsible for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to it under paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, as of and for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2009 (the “Reporting Period”). The transactions covered by this report include asset-backed securities transactions involving motor vehicle retail installment sale contracts and lease contracts included in public securitizations sponsored by NMAC starting in 2006 and serviced by NMAC and its subsidiaries (the "Platform");

NMAC has engaged certain vendors (the “Vendors”) to perform specific, limited or scripted activities, and NMAC elects to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria or portion of the servicing criteria applicable to such Vendors’ activities and NMAC represents that such Vendors are not servicers as defined in paragraph (j) of Item 1101 of Regulation AB;

3.	Presented in Appendix A hereto are the servicing criteria (and portions thereof) impacted by the Vendors’ activities and for which NMAC is assuming responsibility;

4.	Except as set forth in paragraphs 5 and 6 below, NMAC used the criteria set forth in paragraph (d) of Item 1122 of Regulation AB to assess compliance with the applicable servicing criteria;

5.	NMAC has determined that criteria 1122(d)(1)(iii), (d)(1)(iv), (d)(2)(vi), (d)(4)(ix) and (d)(4)(x) are not applicable to NMAC based on the activities it performs, directly or through its Vendors or subsidiaries, with respect to the Platform;

NMAC has determined that (a) criteria 1122(d)(2)(ii) and (d)(3)(ii)-(iii) pertaining to the actual disbursement or remittance of funds to investors and (b) aspects of criteria (d)(2)(iv) and (d)(3)(iv) do not apply to NMAC since performance of activities in connection with such criteria are the responsibility of a different party participating in the servicing function;

7.	NMAC has complied, in all material respects, with the applicable servicing criteria as of March 31, 2009 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole;

8.	NMAC has not identified and is not aware of any material instance of noncompliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria as of March 31, 2009 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole;

9.	NMAC has not identified any material deficiency in its policies and procedures to monitor the compliance by the Vendors with the applicable servicing criteria as of March 31, 2009 and for the Reporting Period with respect to the Platform taken as a whole; and

10.	Ernst & Young LLP (“E&Y”), a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on NMAC’s assessment of compliance with the applicable servicing criteria for the Reporting Period.
