Dear Mr. Ehrlich: This will confirm your telephone conversation with Mr. Frederi Schwartz of my office concerning your proposed compliance scheme for the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 115 - Vehicle identification number.; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) does no give advance approval of a manufacturer's compliance with motor vehicle safety standards or regulations, as it is the manufacturer's responsibility under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act to ensure that its vehicles comply with the applicable safety standards. However, my office has reviewed your proposed system. Based on our understanding of the information which you have provided, your system apparently complies with Standard No. 115. This system may be implemented immediately.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
