Dear Mr. Nakajima:#This is in reply to your letter of April 1 seeking clarification of paragraph S4.1.2 of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 104.#We confirm your understanding that S4.1.2 excludes any part of wiped areas A, B, and C that lie outside the perimeter line. Change of your driver's seating reference point to meet the proposed requirements of Standard No. 201 does not affect the percentage of area A, assuming no change in the perimeter line.#Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Acting Chief Counsel;
