Dear Mr. DeWitt: #Please forgive the delay in responding to your lette of March 19, 1975, requesting clarification of the relationship between the masking requirement and the brake hose assembly performance requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 106-74, *Brake Hoses*. #On August 1, 1975, the NHTSA issued a notice delaying until March 1, 1976, the effective date of the masking requirement, in order to allow time for public comment in its proposed elimination. Copies of this and a more recent notice are enclosed. #If the standard is amended to eliminate the masking requirement, the issues which you have raised will be mooted. Otherwise, these issues will be dealt with in an upcoming Federal Register notice. #Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Acting Chief Counsel;
