Dear Mr. Harada: I am writing to confirm your October 15, 1976, telephone conversatio with Mark Schwimmer of this office, concerning the effective dates of the Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards (UTQGS) (49 CFR Part 575.104).; As Mr. Schwimmer explained, (i) the National Highway Traffic Safet Administration has not yet established new effective dates for the UTQGS regulation, (ii) when the new effective dates are established, they will be announced in the Federal Register, and (iii) the interval between the announcement of the effective dates and the dates themselves will be sufficient to allow manufacturers to prepare for compliance with the regulation.; For your convenience, an information sheet entitled 'Where to Obtai Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations' is enclosed.; Sincerely, Frank A. Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel
