Dear Mr. Nakajima: This is in response to your February 23, 1976, letter concerning th rim marking requirements of S5.2 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 120, *Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles Other Than Passenger Cars*.; In its present form, S5.2 requires a rim to which the standard applie to be marked with its size designation and, if it is a multi-piece rim, its type designation as well. There is no prohibition on the marking of additional information beyond that which is required. Therefore, the marking of single piece rims with a type designation is permitted.; Please note that, in a notice published on Mary 6, 1976 (41 FR 18659 Docket No. 71-19, Notice 4), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration delayed the effective dates of several of the standard's requirements. In particular, the effective date of S5.2, *Rim Marking*, was delayed until August 1, 1977. A copy of this notice is enclosed for your convenience.; Yours truly, Stephen P. Wood, Assistant Chief Counsel
