Dear Mr. Mazzafro: This is in reply to your letter of September 21, 1971, to Mr. Dougla Toms, Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, requesting an interpretation on the mounting of identification lamps on your trailers.; We hesitate to agree with you that it is not practicable to mount th identification lamps at the extreme height of the trailer. It would appear to be practicable to mount these lamps at the extreme height, even if a shield were necessary to prevent damage to the lamps during use.; If the identification lamps are mounted at the extreme height of th trailer, the clearance lamp mounting height is optional, therefore, clearance lamps could be mounted on the rear crossmember, as shown on your drawing SK-24139.; Sincerely, E. T. Driver, Director, Office of Operating Systems, Moto Vehicle Programs;
