Dear Mr. Sotohara:#Please forgive the delay in responding to you letter of November 22, 1974, requesting confirmation of your interpretation that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*, does not require you to label the brake hose and brake hose assemblies which you manufacture with a DUNS manufacturer's code number.#Your interpretation is correct. S5.2.2, S5.2.3, and S5.2.4 of Standard No. 106-74 were amended on January 29, 1974, (39 FR 3680, Docket No. 1-5, Notice 9) to no longer require a manufacturer's code number. A designation identifying you as the manufacturer is required, however. The designation, 'NCRN', as described in your letter, already satisfied this requirement. This designation is now on file in the Office of Standards Enforcement.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Acting Chief Counsel;
