Dear Mr. Gill: This will confirm your telephone conversation with Mr. Schwartz of m office concerning the conformance of the numbering on the VIN plate you submitted with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 115, *Vehicle Identification Number*.; The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration does not giv advance approval of a manufacturer's compliance with motor vehicle safety standards or regulation, as it is the manufacturer's responsibility under the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act to ensure that its vehicles comply with the applicable safety standards. However, my office has reviewed the VIN plate you submitted. The numbering on the VIN plate apparently complies with the legibility requirements of S4.3 of Standard No. 115.; Sincerely, Frank Berndt, Chief Counsel
