Dear Mr. Lanzdorf:#This is to confirm your conversation of December 12 1974, with Mark Schwimmer of this office, in which you requested information on the permissibility of spray painting brake hose end fittings in the trucks which you manufacture.#Because the construction of the brake hose assembly is completed before the spray painting would take place, the only requirement of Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74 which might prohibit the painting would be a vehicle requirement. Standard No. 106-74 as applied to vehicles is not effective until September 1, 1975, therefore, you may spray paint end fittings until then. The next Federal Register notice concerning the standard will deal with the permissibility of painting end fittings after the September, 1975 effective date.#Yours truly,Richard B. Dyson,Acting Chief Counsel;
