Dear Mr. Schneider: This is in response to your letter of August 21, 1973, asking whethe Standard 125 Warning devices are required to be installed as original equipment in motor homes by the manufacturer.; Standard 125 is an equipment standard, not a vehicle standard. Thi means that it is directed at the manufacturer of the devices, not vehicle manufacturers. Therefore the standard doesnot(sic) make installation of the device mandatory in any motor vehicle. The Bureau of Motor Carrier Safety, however, has made the use of the device mandatory by interstate carries subject to its regulation.; For your information, future requests for information should b directed to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590, and not the Docket Section, which essentially is a repository of comments which do not receive a reply.; Yours truly, Richard B. Dyson, Assistant Chief Counsel
