Dear Mr. Lugo:
This is in reply to your request of February 16, 2000, asking our views on lamps mounted on the front of vehicles that would indicate when the brakes are applied.
I enclose copies of two notices that we published in the Federal Register which address this subject. The first is a notice dated December 13,1996, in which we requested comments from the public on four signaling ideas, one of which was front brake lamps (61 FR 65510; see text beginning on page 65515). The second is a notice published on November 4, 1998 (63 FR 59482; see text on page 59486 and beginning on page 59491) reporting the public's comments and our conclusions.
Sincerely,
Frank Seales, Jr.
Chief Counsel
