Dear Mr. Hawes: This is in response to your letter of October 30, 1972, regarding th amendment to Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 125, Warning Devices, published on June 22, 1972 (37 F.R. 12323). You observed that the preamble to that amendment erroneously described the device you manufacture as 'designed to be secured to the roof of a motor vehicle', while your device is actually secured to the window of the vehicle and displayed above the vehicle roof. Your request that the notice be amended to correct the description of the device.; As you have noted, the paragraph dealing with your device conclude that 'the standard does not prohibit manufacture or sale of a device *capable of being mounted on a vehicle roof*, so long as it meets all the Standard 125 requirements, including the capacity of being set up on the ground'. This language indicates that it is the clear intent of this agency to permit the manufacture and sale of a device such as you have described. Although I regret the misstatement concerning your device, I do not feel that a notice to clarify the preamble is called for.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
