In a telephone conversation on Friday, Nov. 22nd, Ms. Dorothy Nakama informed Diamond-Star Motors that FMVSS 115 is only applicable to vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States. She also recommended that in order to receive this in writing I must send a written request for an interpretation of FMVSS 115.

Please send an interpretation of FMVSS 115 which addresses to whom this standard is applicable and any exceptions that are applicable. Thank you very much.
