Dear Mr. Maggi:#Please forgive the delay in responding to your lette of September 25, 1974, requesting a 'manufacturer designation' for the vacuum brake hose which you manufacture.#S5.2.2(b) of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*, was amended on January 29, 1974 (39 FR 3680, Docket No. 1-5, Notice 9), and again on February 26, 1974 (39 FR 7425, Docket No. 1-5, Notice 10).In place of an manufacturer's code number, assigned by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, S5.2.2(b) of the standard now requires:#>>>A designation that identifies the manufacturer of the hose assembly, which shall be filed in writing with: Office of Standards Enforcement, 'Brake Hose Identification,' National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590. The marking may consist of a designation other than block capital letters required by S5.2.2.<<<#The designation, 'SAIAG', as depicted in your letter, already satisfies this requirement. This designation is now on file in the Office of Standards Enforcement. Please note that the other required label information must still appear on the hose in block capital letters and numerals at least one-eighth of an inch high.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Acting Chief Counsel;
