Dear Mr. Kruder: This is in reply to your letter of January 15, 1974, requestin information on the labeling requirements of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 117. The agency has recently amended Standard No. 117 in accordance with the Court of Appeals decision in *National Tire Dealers' and Retreaders' Association v. Brinegar*. The standard as amended requires only that retreaded tires be permanently labeled with maximum load. All the other information required -- size, tubeless or tube-type, maximum inflation pressure, and radial and bias/belted designation -- may appear on affixed labels. The amendment does allow the use of one permanent label to apply all of the required information.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
