Dear Mr. Pinto: #This is in response to your letter of December 26 1968, and as a follow-up of our meeting of January 9, both concerning your proposal to hot brand the legend 'SECOND NOT ADJ.' over part of the brand name 'ATLAS PLYCRON' tires. #Provided the branding of the legend does not make the brand name illegible it would be permissible under the motor vehicle safety standards. Examination of the photos you submitted indicates that no pard of the brand name is obliterated and only one letter is affected, although still clearly visible. Therefore, as long as one of the methods of branding shown in the photos is followed, the labeling requirements of standard No. 109 with regard to the brand name will have been met. #Sincerely, Robert M. O'Mahoney, Assistant Chief Counsel for Regulations;
