ATTACHMT: Attached to letter dated 11-20-91 from Paul Jackson Rice to D. E. Graham (A38; Std. 118)

TEXT:

I would like to request a formal written response to a question of interpretation of the recently revised FMVSS 118 - Power Operated Window Systems (Docket No. 87-10" Notice 4).

Specifically, the sections in question for interpretation are S5(a) and S5 (b). The question is:

Do these sections in any way apply to the rearward edge of a venting, sliding sunroof as it moves from the vent position to the fully closed position?

Your timely response would be beneficial in ASC Incorporated's ongoing efforts to fully comply with the applicable safety standards for current and new products.
