Dear Mr. Phelps: In your letter of October 4, 1971, you asked whether under ou Certification regulations (49 CFR Part 567) tandem axles should be considered as a unit in listing the gross axle weight rating, or should be listed separately with separate ratings.; We intend that each axle, including those part of a tandem arrangement should be listed separately with a GAWR for each.; Sincerely, Lawrence R. Schneider, Chief Counsel
